I will admit that prior to 2021 I had only been to one workout at Cornerstone (aka the Artist formerly known as Sovereign Grace.) But now that I know this place has battle ropes and tires I am definitely coming back. That is the kind of stuff that was fun back when I knew what the inside of a gym looked like.
7 other guys roll in on a beautiful morning. Chipper is tapering, so I am doing my dead level best not to move anywhere. We all turn where we stand to do the Pledge. Since we are generally in a circle, we also just stay put for the warm up:
- 5 Good mornings OMD
- 20 SSH IC
- 15 IW IC
- 15 Sir Fazio IC
- 15 Fazio Sir IC
The workout isn’t hard to explain. 8 exercises for 8 people as we move through the stations for three complete circuits:
- Tire Flip (the timer for each individual exercise round)
- Battle Rope
- Kettle Bell Tricep Extensions
- Coupon Curls
- Kettle Bell Goblet Squats
- Overhead Ball Slams
- Kettle Bell Swings
- Kettle Bell Merkins
Not a lot of funny things to recount here. Just eight guys doing some work.
No time for a fourth round, so we move approximately 12 feet to circle up for Mary, with all 8 calling an exercise. Stay tuned for details on the upcoming Stations of the Cross workout. Prayers for job seekers and those affected by the pandemic. YHC took us out.
