A crisp December morning and seven brave souls showed up to Shadow for a unique beatdown on a unique date (a palindrome date: there were 22 of them in 2021! https://www.farmersalmanac.com/what-palindrome-28106 ) So, YHC developed a nice string of pearls workout to complement the palindrome setup.
Warm up:
11 Imperial Walkers, 11 Baryshnikovs (ea. leg), 11 Toy Soldiers, 11 Newtons Cradles i.c.
The Thang:
The Palindrome pyramid was explained and we were off on a mosey around Brook Run park on the path encircling the whole thing.
The Palindrome date for today works out to 122221 so that was our starting repetitions in the parking lot after the warmup. The six exercises associated with each number were: Burpees, Squats, Advanced Boat Canoes, Hand-release Merkins, Box-cutters, Standing Lunges.
Every 3 to 4 minutes, we stopped our run and did the six exercises multiplying by 2 on the repetitions to reach the top of the pyramid then went back down dividing by 2. The top of the pyramid was 16, 32, 32, 32, 32, 16.
We were able to circle the whole park and get back to the starting parking lot when we got to 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2 before time ran out.
CoT:
Billboard took us out. Some events coming in January (check Slack for specifics)
Naked Man Moleskin:
There was some mumblechatter about having to work our minds and our bodies today, but it was a fun opportunity to recognize a unique numerical date with a unique numerical beatdown!
