Warm up:
As PAX arrived on this June 14 to celebrate Flag Day, Martina’s early bday, Dimples actual birthday, and the much-anticipated, over-hyped Taylor Swift themed workout… Martina played “All too well” on the speaker to ease people into the morning and warm-up. At promptly 5:30, YHC welcomed the 3 downrange PAX (one of which was an FNG, who lives in Roswell but was EH’d by his Omaha-based coworker), recognized Dimples actual bday, and gave the disclaimer… shared that we’d hear a LOT of songs today, many of which we did not listen to the full song. aka we prioritized the beatdown > music. [songs in brackets]
TSwift writes a LOT, so the warm-up educated a few songs she wrote for other artists:
38 SSH (how old YHC turns Thursday) [Rihanna/Calvin Harris – What you came here for]
13 Don Quixotes in cadence (# of stripes on USA flag) [BoB – Both of Us]
13 Stone Mtn pushups OYO (# of stars on original USA flag) [Sugarland – Babe]
13 arm circles of various sizes (TSwift’s fav # bc day of the month she was born) [Kellie Pickler – Best Days of Your Life]
The Thang:
Rest of songs are TSwift… mosey to stonehenge [Ready for it]
13 merkins in cadence, bear crawl lap [tim mcgraw, 1st single off debut album from 2006]
13 derkins OYO, crab walk lap [love story, 1st single from fearless, 2008]
13 irkins, which YHC thought was a common name… incline push-ups OYO, walking lunge lap [sparks fly, 5th single off speak now 2010, though she wrote it before debut album release]
Mosey to Oak Hill [Our Song, 1st song that got me on the TSwift bandwagon]
Ran up the hill, to represent 9 albums… 9 shoulder taps in cadence at the top [you belong with me]
Back to bottom, then ran up again to represent 2 re-recorded albums. 11 OYO burpees at the top to represent her 11 grammys[holy ground]
Mosey to Park Dr bridge [end game]
2 sets: 13 plank jacks OYO, 13 freddie mercury’s in cadence, 13 monkey humpers [Ryan Adams version of bad blood]
17 low-slow squats in cadence x 2, 77 single-count flutter kicks OYO [miss americana & the heartbreak prince] (USA flag adopted on June 14 1777)
Mosey to rock pile [paper rings], grabbed coupons
19 curls, 20 squats, 20 curls, 20 squats, 20 curls [shake it off]
Mosey to meadow for sneaky shoulders and because we were feelin’ 22… while the song 22 played, PAX did repeat sets of: 22 overhead claps, 22 raise the roofs, 22 seal claps [22]
Mosey to start [wildest dreams]
CoT:
2nd F TONIGHT @ The Works 530pm-whenever; 3rd F this FRIDAY 7-8am @ dancing goats ponce city market. Named two FNGs (Serena & Toasted). YHC ended with a thought about legacy & impact from his grandpa, traits that get imparted to you without even realizing it until your friends notice. PAX took a moment to contemplate any traits they share with either a parent or grandparent. Then a great coffeeteria!
Naked Man Moleskin:
the most HUMID workout of the year, so far.
