🐢 Cowabunga, Dudes! A Radical Morning with the PAX 🍕

On a gnarly morning where the thermometer hit a bodacious 61° Fahrenheit, 13 totally tubular PAX, including the legendary Donatello, gathered to kick some shell in a workout that was straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon lineup. 🌅

Warm-Up:

• Hillbilly Walkers 🚶‍♂️
• Sticky Butt Kickers 🍑
• Little Baby Arm Circles Forward and Backward 🔄
• Mountain Man Poopers 🏔️
• Side Straddle Hops 🤸‍♂️

The Thang – Teenage Mutant Ninja Workout:

Channeling our inner ninja turtles, we embarked on a radical journey across the parking lot, tackling a series of exercises that would make Master Splinter proud. 🐀

Group 1 – The Leonardo Squad:

• Pullups (Until failure, just like Leo’s leadership) 🦸‍♂️
• Step Up with Block (Climbing to new heights) 🧗‍♂️
• OHP (Overhead Press, lifting the weight of the world) 🌍
• Dips (Diving into action) 🏊‍♂️
• Curls (For those bicep bulges) 💪

Group 2 – The Michelangelo Party Pack:

• Peter Parker (Swinging into action, Spidey-style) 🕷️
• FK (Front Kicks, ninja style) 🥋
• Aust Snow Angels (Cooling down like a snow day in NYC) ❄️
• Rosalita (Dancing with the stars) 💃
• American Hammer (Hammering out justice) 🔨

Group 3 – The Donatello Tech Lab:

• Under Dogs (Sneaking under the radar) 🕵️‍♂️
• Squat (Building that brain and brawn) 🧠💪
• Merkin (Pushing through the code) 💻
• Monkey Humper (For those tricky tech problems) 🐒

1. Start at one end of the parking lot and begin with the first exercise from Group 1 (Pullups). You’ll do this exercise until failure.
2. Run about 50 yards to the fire hydrant and then perform the first exercise from Group 2 (Peter Parker), again doing this exercise until failure.
3. Run another 50 yards to the last light pole and then do the first exercise from Group 3 (Under Dogs), continuing until failure.
4. After completing the third exercise, run back to the starting point.
5. Repeat the sequence (steps 1-4) three times with the same first exercises of each group.
6. Once you’ve completed three rounds with the first exercises of each group, move on to the second exercises in each group (Step Up with Block, FK, Squat) and repeat the entire sequence three times.
7. Continue this pattern, moving through each exercise in the groups, completing three rounds for each set of exercises until all exercises in all three groups have been completed.

After shredding the pavement with our ninja moves, we hit the OYO (On Your Own) mode for the last few minutes, choosing our destiny like choosing the next episode on Netflix. 📺

No Time for Mary:

Just like a cliffhanger episode, we ran out of time for Mary, leaving us all in suspense for the next thrilling installment of F3 workouts. 🕰️

Announcements:

🚨 Attention, PAX! Arrowhead will be closed this Saturday for a convergence at Iron Valley in Erwin. Check Slack for details on forming a clown car to their AO. 🚗💨

Reflections:

While we didn’t have a classic words of wisdom session, the spirit of camaraderie and the essence of pushing our limits were palpable. 🤝
