I don’t know what’s going on with the weather this week. It’s spring, but it’s snowing. The weatherman says it’s one temperature, the thermometer in my car says it’s another temperature, and while I’m standing there waiting for the clock to tick 5:45 it feels colder than either of them. One FNG, disclaimer is given, let’s get the blood moving and warm these boys up. Warm-Up Mosey over to the end of the parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops, imperial walkers, Sir Fazios both ways, plank jacks and merkins (morning, Ma Bell! [Read More]

YHC has been battling some sort of crud for the past 8 weeks, and finally found relief in the form of …STEROIDS! That’s right all you spindly jabronis, can you smell what the doc is cookin’? This mofo is JACKED UP and ready to work out after a 2 1/2 week hiatus. So buckle up, we’re gonna make like a bunch of gym rats and knock out a whole week’s worth of pump in 35 minutes. [Read More]

Apex's newest Kettlebell Workout - Hells Bells

Posted on February 19, 2018 | 2 minutes | 355 words |

Another great Monday morning to start at the best AO in Apex (I’m biased of course). Nine (9) fellow animals were out this morning getting their workout with the assistance of some 25lb to 45lb friends. It’s a great way to start your week and have I said how good the group is? PAX: Earhart, Sooey, Crimson, Capone, Beaker, WWW, Red Ryder, Wilbur and Monkey Nut We all roll in about the same time, at said time we start grunting like Crimson. [Read More]

It was a scorching 57 degrees this morning, perfectly timed for Tank Top Thursday. YHC was the only participant, but appreciated Parker’s good intentions this morning, only to realize that he doesn’t own one. I think he can fix that with some scissors by next week… 11 PAX ready to go, no FNGs, and we’re off. Warm up jog around the track to the far parking lot, wave hello to FiA as we pass. [Read More]

It was a beautiful morning at Sovereign Grace Church. The pre-beatdown discussion included questions about appropriate attire for the weather. Shorts or long pants? T-shirts or long sleeves? Turns out the conditions were perfect no matter how we dressed. Let’s get after it! Warm-Up Mosey around the front parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops, hillbillies, cotton pickers, Sir Fazios forwards and backwards, and burpees. It’s Tortoises and I’m the Q, you know you’re getting burpees. [Read More]

On a delightfully warm, yet misty morning, 14 PAX rolled into the gloom hoping to check the Kryptonite box for what would be an easy Ma Bell workout (at least that’s what Hermes said). ‘Twas not to be. At 0530 - OK, 05:30:20 seconds. Come on fancy watch, catch a GPS signal already! - we rolled on. As per normal, #15 (I’ll let you guess who that was) came in on 2 wheels as we ran (at a pretty good clip, mind you) around the parking lot onto the greenway toward the lake and back around to the parking lot for [Read More]

Disclaimer: YHC turns 45 tomorrow. This all looked good on paper. Y’all are in for an interesting week. Awoke early, excited about putting into play the little plan I worked up over a celebratory fondue dinner Sunday night (during dinner my 2.0s were even demonstrating some of the workout to my M. She was not impressed.) On the drive to the AO, I thought (maybe I better go see that stealthy little bridge, make sure we can get across it). [Read More]
