Changing of the Guard

AO: Firehouse

When: 2025-10-28

QIC: Ruby

PAX (8): Beanz, Crab Cake, DDoS, Dunshire, Lightweight, Ruby, Seaman, Snowman

Preamble:

Alas, all good seasons come due to change... and after fulfilling Site Q duties for his season, it was time for our good man, Seaman, to pass the shovel flag on to the next man to bear the noble and dignified title of Site Q.  That man is Ruby.  Today is the day.

Warm-O-Rama:

With cinders in hand, the men circled up for some Ruby-esque style of warm up:  Coupon stretches, block jacks, overhead block circles, and probably some other fun things to get the blood pumping.

The Thang:

Part 1:  Tabata.  40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest.  We worked through eight rotations of coupon/cinder/cindie/cmu (what do we actually call these things?) exercises that surely made some of those big muscles tired. Part 2:  THE TEN FOOT POLE.  Oh yeah.  You had to see this one to really understand.  Suffice to say, it involved teamwork and lots of arms up in the air.  I might describe it more, but I'd hate to scare anyone off.  Believe me, you need to come experience THE TEN FOOT POLE. Part 3:  Another Tabata.  This time four rotations focusing on lower body moves with Coupon. Part 4:  Coupon Dora.  Partners took turns shuttling coupons to a distant point while the non-shuttler commenced body weight exercises.  That was fun.   6 Minutes of Mary:  Some flutters, some chest press, and some coupon-edge planks (harder than they look).

COT:

Christmas Party coming soon - get signed up! We were reminded that prayers are needed for many of our fold, from the very youngest to the oldest among us.  These bodies are tough, but can be thrown off tune.  Lord, please touch those in need.
