Early post, because that white stuff coming down right now is snow.
The forecast calls for rain or snow until 3 am, at which point the temperature drops to 31 degrees, which in Atlanta means, icy roads = the end of world as we know it.
Maybe. It may also just be damp and chilly tomorrow morning. But just in case it IS the end of the world as we know it, we’re cancelling Saturday’s QF92 and replacing it with a stay-at-home version. For your 3 points, comment below and post a photo (or video) to our FB page. For a whopping 5 points, do the workout outside and with at least 1 other person – photographic verification required.
At 10:00, or as close to 10:00 as you can manage, start with
100 jumping jacks, 15 arms circles front and back, 10 squats to warm up. Then
3 sun salutations, then immediately go into:
25 weighted squats, weighted with something/one that allows you to barely do 25 in a row;
25 push-ups, broken up however you need to break them up;
25 jumping jacks or (if you have a jump rope) single jump skips or double-unders
20 weighted squats – add weight if you’re able
20 push-ups, different that the kinds of push-ups than you did for 25
20 jumping jacks, rope skips, or double-unders
15 weighted squats – add weight if you’re able
15 push-ups, yet another variation
15 jumping jacks, rope skips, or double-unders
10 weighted squats – add weight if you’re able
10 push-ups, different variation
10 jumping jacks, rope skips, or double-unders
5 weighted squats – add weight if you’re able
5 push-ups, different variation
5 jumping jacks, rope skips, or double-unders
Finish with your choice of either 100 squats, or if your knees are bugging you, 5 accumulated minutes of a wall sit.
Whether you toast your buns or not will depend on how precisely you’re able to put together a weight that has you nearly falling out at the end of each set of squats. Whatever weighted object you choose, keep your form tight – tall chest, neutral spine.
xoxoxo dear queerfitters! I miss you already –

5 with Cheeks (but she peed a little so we let that go…)
20 done with a bunch of books + rice. Wasn’t heavy so added the following:
10 lb basmati + 7 lbs masoor + 4 lbs chana + 4 lbs moong + 5-6 lbs worth of books ~30lbs
Combo of regular push ups + knee push ups (did more regular though! Not as deep – growing edge)
Finished out 100 squats outside but not sure how to post the video so will just show you my freezing cold face.
Stay warm!
#YeaBaby!
(Also, someday, I hope someone can explain the hashtag concept to me – it’s because of Twitter no?)

Done inside – 10, 20, 35, 45 lb weighted – mixed up the last round a little to play with some squat heaviness ;). Opted for wall sit to finish. #soveryplanktified

Oh, man! Finally done, with 5 lb flour for my weight–could probably have gone heavier, but fwiw, buns still toasted. I wish I’d had a pile of fragrant and delicious Indian-food ingredients to lift! Next time.

Done. With power snatches (45#)and kettle swings (35#) instead of squats (still can’t really bend the knee). Wall pushups regular, close grip and wide. Nice and sweaty now. 🙂
