Warm up:
15 intrepid pax showed up on time for a workout that had been teased with the infamous poop emoji. Not sure how they all thought that was a good idea. YHC launched into some SSH IC to a chorus of responses. No evidence of the poop yet. We added in some Hillbillies IC and Stone Mountain Pushups IC too. The confusion had to be building by this point. The pax received a couple minutes to stretch, in which I exhorted the pax to embrace dynamic stretching. Where was the poop?
The Thang:
The group moseyed to the rock pile, being sure not to step in poop along the way. Then it was time for the big reveal: A new workout routine with a highly questionable source of inspiration! When YHC explained the plan to my M, I told her I was going to call it “The Compost Heap.” She lovingly suggested it was probably an insult to a good compost heap, so I figured maybe “The S*** Show” was more appropriate.
These exercises all fit into the theme by having something to do with dirt, mud, bugs, and obviously, poop. There was much groaning at the questionable inspiration, but no mutiny followed.
The Plan:
- Dirty Hookups – x20 IC
- Grab large rocks from the rock pile, one per 2 people (grab one extra for the set of 3) and walk back to the meadow.
- Dora-Style Shared partner reps
| Accumulating Reps | Partner mode of travel |
| 100 Dying Cockroaches | Feel the Bern up the nearby hill |
| 200 Mountain Man Poopers | Dung Beetles – a new exercise in which the pax places a rock (could be a coupon) behind them and proceeds to crawl bear while pushing the rock backwards with their feet (like a dung beetle). This was a real crowd pleaser. Dung beetle to the bottom of the hill and carry the rock back. |
| 300 Dead Bugs | Inch worm to the bottom of the hill and jog back |
The dung beetles were so fun that we spent most of our time here, and had to cut the Dead bugs/Inch worm segment way short. The pax were disappointed we didn’t have time for more, and we definitely didn’t have time to complete the plan which included more Dirty Hookups and a Tunnel of Love at the end.
CoT:
We sent out some TaPs for RedRyder, who we hope to see again soon. The brotherhood is richer with him (and each one of you) in it.
Naked Man Moleskin:
I have 100% confidence that this is the best poop themed workout ever
