Focus on Form

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

Beautiful morning, clear skies, low 60s.  17 PAX assembled to put in the work.  QIC suggested it will be an easy day. It probably wasn’t.

DISCLAIMER
PRAYER
COP

  • SSH IC x20
  • LBAC IC x10, x10 reverse
  • TTT IC x10
  • WMH, we bounced L and R for a bit
  • Imperial Walkers IC x10
  • Hillbilly Walkers IC x10
  • Monkey Humpers IC x10
  • Slow Merkin x 10 with emphasis on form: touching chest, stomach, or other body part to ground, elbows tucked
  • Slow squat x10 with emphasis on form: going low enough to touch rear on an upright block, knees behind toes
  • Heels to heaven IC x5 with emphasis on form: legs straight, lifting straight up to the sky

Pair up with a PAX of similar physical abilities.  Offer a compliment to your partner.  After compliments were exchanged, PAX became each other’s “form police” providing critique (constructively) on observed flaws in exercise form.
THE THANG
Three stations along the track.  Each pair stayed together and completed two exercises at each station, moseying between each station.

Reps of each exercise started at 5 to illustrate proper form.

Rinse, repeat: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30…

  • West station: Squats, Curls
  • South station: Step ups, Heels to Heaven
  • East station: Merkins, Dips on bleachers

Most PAX duos made it to the 20-30 reps, meaning 1-2 miles of moseying.  Added benefit to all of this: the duos got to know each other a little better.

MARY
Plank on the six which ended up being time.
