49 amazing HIM came out to celebrate my 50th birthday with overwhelming love and support. I am humbled by everyone’s outpouring of “Respect” and generosity. This is the most wonderful group to be a member of, and you all mean the world to me.
WARMUP: Standard Rio, + Sir Fazio Arm Circles
THE THANG: Set to some of the most important music on my lifetime, the Pax moseyed out to the bridge or back of one of the classroom buildings to do 50 L-R Step Ups & 50 Dips.
Within then made our way to parking deck to where we climb the ramps doing 50 each of the following movements. LBC, Jump Squats, Zombie Crunch, & Low Slow Flutters.
What’s at the top of the parking deck, we performed Meekins to the Police song, “Roxanne”. Pax under age 46 had to do a Merkin every time Sting sang “Roxanne”, it would basically amounted to Generation X Pax had to perform one Merkin each time he sang “Red Light”.
We ran down the stairs at the parking deck to a classic Sly Stone track. We picked up non-traveling rocks.
Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” played while we did non-counted sets of Overhead Press, Curls, Triceps Ext., & Bent Rows.
For the final two minutes of the song, we did a little shuttle run between the curbs.
Cool down, mosey, listening to the flaming lips, to set up the final cardio session in Rios underground garage.
We did 4 1/2 minutes of imperial walkers set to the tune of “Copperhead Road”, by Steve Earle.
George Harrison serenaded us back to the flag
