Equipment - wear gloves, just saying
Starting at the park make a line using your kids chalk. Measure and make a mark every 10 yards until we have 100 yards marked off.
The workout.
Sprint to the 10 yard marker, once you pass it immediately perform 5 burpees then drop to the ground and crab walk in reverse back to your starting line.
Sprint to the 20 yard marker, once you pass.....
Yeah, you get the point. Do this until you finish 100 yards.
You're triceps are going to love you.

I had to change venues this morning because I awoke to this
With the roofing dream team all over the street, I had to find a place to exercise. Therefore, today's equipment:
Note: My sincerest apologies to the local parks and recs crew at the first location I chose. I was certain that the DO NOT ENTER sign on the baseball field was because you are watching the Red Sox this year too and wanted to persuade our youth to find a sport that is beneficial to the public, like the football field next door. I didn't realize that my taxes paid to keep me OFF public school grounds. This is the picture of the field I COULD use.
A new, highly used public venue and a ridiculous looking exercise which I had to do by myself was an extreme challenge today. That coupled with the inability for me to fully recover from my past workouts and you have a hardcore challenge my friends!(quite a hysterical sight too!) I arrived and quickly jogged (silent J) a lap to warm up and stretched knowing that this would be testing all my muscles again. The first 3 reps were manageable and I was able to entertain a few walkers by flailing my arms from side to side like I was break dancing my way back to the start each time. I am a person that hates judgement of myself and I could feel spying eyes all over my body, visually abusing me. "Yeah I'm overweight and crawling on my back in the middle of the football field, what of it, sweating to the oldies lady!" First person I've met that can walk a track without ever looking forward at where they are going...
At the 50 yard dash, I pulled my hammy on my right side, adding to the amusement of the crowd now flowing in for their power walk/ gossip session. I finished in 1:09:47 a respectable time I think, given the circumstances.
I've now successfully completed 1 full week of training using the CPC methodology, lost 1 pound, done 101 Burpees, 200+ pushups and squats, Run 4.19 miles and sprinted a stupid amount of times. I've lost old calluses and created new ones, pulled and tweaked muscles I haven't even used in years and I'm loving every minute of it. The muscles have stopped their nightly Morse Code meetings (I think the coconut water acted as the power force that squashed their union discussions) and the early mornings are easier to be awake for each day.
Most importantly, you as readers are enjoying it! I hope this all continues and we grow the blog to be something greater than me complaining about how I feel. I hope we, together can enlighten young and old again on how easy it is to miss a few episodes of The walking Dead or Modern Family to get back in shape.
Sully- the legs are shot. Need an extra day for the hammy to recover from this one. I'm walking like a dancer on the set of Thriller here.
I'll leave today praising the powers that be that tomorrow is an off day. I will be blogging again tomorrow more of the back story to this challenge; about my brother-in-law Corey who, along with his daughter Cadence, is another driving force for me. Please stop by and take a peek.
Till then, Be about it!
Love you!
