“Fucking lazy Phoenix.” This is verbatim the response I received when I asked for an exercise idea from the Leaders Three of San Diego.
See, Jackie let me know in our weekly meeting that she wouldn’t make it to today’s workout due to a family issue. We ironed out the workout structure – the telephone (see below) – but I told her I’d take care of the specifics because she has more important things to worry about.
That left me with some work to do. But like any effective leader, I tapped my resources by delegating to my fellow tribe leaders the task of coming up with each of today’s exercises. Most were excited to help, though a few weren’t enthralled by the prospect (looking at you, Eugene).
The telephone workout is simple: you have 10 exercises, each one corresponding to a digit (0-9). Do each exercise according to your 10-digit phone number. We stuck to our own because I’m not organized enough to quell the chaos that ensues when people try to write their numbers and put them in/remove them from a bucket. Here’s a breakdown of the exercises.
HOMEWORK. THIS WILL BE GRADED: I want you to tag the tribe that came up with your favorite (or most loathed):
1 Calf raises (San Diego)
2 20 second sprint (Seattle)
3 Donkey supernovae (Denver)
4 Wheel-barrow pushup with partner (Boston)
5 Side lunge with hop (NYC/Brooklyn)
6 Spider planks (Los Angeles)
7 Pistol squats (Kansas City)
8 Burpee with broad jump (Indianapolis)
9 Wynnes* (partner pushup + barrel roll) (Chicago)
0 Scissor jumps (Phoenix/Erika “I want to do butt stuff” Vargo)
With a group squat finisher courtesy of Orlando. I’m a huge fan of this, and have to admit that I am not normally one to exclude myself from a massive flesh ring.
The Movevment came together this morning; not just locally (Katie stepping in for Ais, who is currently on honeymoon in Hawaii, by dishing out the Crushin’ It award), but also nationally, with tribes around the US pitching in for an epic cause**. The tribe is strong.
*I mispronounced these as “Winnies”, despite Watt from Chicago sending me a video in which he says the correct name.
**That cause being “doing Trevor’s job.”
