Old friends and new friends
/While working in the Florida Keys, I got a text from my good friend, Chip Lusk. Chip was an original member of the RRL in Chattanooga and then moved to Atlanta where he set up his own garage gym, RRLanta. Check out his group on Facebook and in this post.
Chip has a group visiting the resort where I film my television show, Hawks Cay Resort.
I ate dinner with his group last night and then we met at 6 am this morning for a good bodyweight workout followed by some breathing and gratitude exercise.
His Uncle joined us who is managing the construction project at the resort. Lots of coincidence with him...He bought the house 2 doors down from the one I owned in Key West, knows Chip, knows Chattanooga and now works on Hawks Cay, my second home. Crazy.
He also is a retired Navy vet and was Force Recon in Vietnam. The guy is a stud. 67 years old and was hitting this workout with us this morning in the rain:
Jump Squats x 25 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
Pushups x 25 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
Body Weight Squats x 50 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
Mountain Climbers x 50 reps (each leg counts as one rep)
Burpees x 10 reps
Lunges Left Leg x 25 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
Lunges Right Leg x 25 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
High Knees (Running/Sprints in Place) x 50 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
V sits x 50 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
Jumping Jacks x 50 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
Push to Plank x 50 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
I found this one on the internet last night. It looked pretty good so we gave it a try. We were in the middle of a Tropical Depression so the swim workout I had planned might not have been the best idea, and running was probably out. This one was fine...not too hard, but challenging.
