I know that one of the activities during the Road Trip was a relay race, and I've seen some pictures of it, but not enough to get an idea of what it was really like. Can someone tell me (us) what it consisted of? Sounds like fun! (as long as there were no bean bags involved, LOL! Too many memories of bad grade school gym classes!).
 
Let's see if I can remember.

1. Stretch your quads
2. Box Jumping Jacks (Do jumping jacks... 2 facing the front, 2 facing the side, 2 facing the back, 2 facing the other side, 2 facing the front again)
3. Put weights on barbell and sit and do 10 bicep curls. Then take the weights off barbell.
4. 10 crunches on the mat
5. 10 tricep dips on the high step
6. 10 pushups

Then run back, and touch the next person's hand so they can start.

I think that's it. If I missed something I'm sure someone else will chime in.
 
Good job Dani!

Station # 1~~~A Warm-Up, stand with feet far a part in a plie stance and Inhale & Exhale 2X going down deep in between each one, arms going up & down, then quad stretch on both legs counting out loud to 10 on each one and then grapevine 4X. Run to:

Station # 2~~~10X Jacks, 2F-2R-2B-2L-2F making a square. Run to:

Station # 3~~~Load barbell 20# -Sit on floor Indian style and do 10 bicep curls (2-2 speed), unload barbell. Run to:

Station # 4~~~10 Crunches

Station # 5~~~Perform 1 Pendulum across the step. (Voted fav move)

Station # 6~~~Perform 10 Tricep Dips off High Step

Station # 7~~~Perform 10 Push-ups & run back to where you started.

Kathryn, mind you the count was supposed to be 2-2 on some moves. That went right OUT the window and I wish you could have seen it. It was sooo funny watching them compete at warped speed! Thank goodness, no injuries! :7 Wish you could have joined us.

RE: Good job Dani!

Oh, oh, oh!! I forgot about the pendulum on the step!! I knew I was forgetting something!! :)

Oh, Debbie!! The warped speed was so funny!!!!! I don't remember hearing about the 2-2! LOL!!!!
 
RE: Good job Dani!

Yes, the warp speed was too funny! I think most peoples form suffered just a tad! :) I heard the 2-2 info, but since everyone else was going fast I didn't want to lose! Oh well, we didn't win, but we had a GREAT time!

Also I think Station 1's grapevines were replaced with station 2's box jacks--then we went straight on to the barbell.

Everyone on the winning team received a high step Topper autographed by the crew and Cathe. That was really cool! Next year I'm relay training before the trip! ;)

As a person who didn't really do strength training (I have started now) I was surprised how HARD it was to do those pushups after the tri-dips! Even on my knees I almost fell on my nose!

RE: Good job Dani!

Ha Nadine!!! Why do you think we put the push-ups AFTER the tri-dips?? Ha! I, too, noticed how the inhale, exhale and grapevines went by the wayside. It was hilarious to watch. I totally laughed my head off in between cheering everyone on! Weren't those toppers THE coolest prize? YES...Jealous I am but happy for the winners! :7

RE: Good job Dani!

Hey Nadine & DebbieH, yes the entire race was hilarious:D:D:D. To tell you the truth, I didn't know grapevines were involved. Even the quad stretch was 1-10 w/o a breather. It was more like "1,10". But when the first person on my team started doing those jjacks at warped speed and then she hit the floor "BOOM" with that bbell doing a 0-1 ct, I was standing there saying to myself "what happened to the 2-2 ct"?. So everyone started doing it, so of course, I had to do the same; although I did wanted to the 2-2 ct. with the bbell & push-up :D, that would have been so challenging :D.

But I had a really good time.

Oh, dear. I can't do 10 push-ups. I would have been in big trouble! I tremble to think of the embarassment. ;(
 
Nancy, after seeing my push-ups, you wouldn't have been embarassed at ALL! My knees were down and my butt was up, and I think I only went half-way down. It was still HARD!

Hey Mama Deb, you are Cruel! You guys ARE already planning the next trip right? ;) I think the relay next time should definately have some plie-jacks--can't really do those at warp! :)

RE: Good job Dani!

Was the count done by the individual (I can count really fast!) or was there music you were *supposed* to follow?
 
The relay race was a blast. As I recall, some moves were taken out and some shortened. I think we only had to do 5 push-ups on our knees.

RE: Good job Dani!

The count was done by each player. They were SUPPOSED to count outloud but that rule got broke too! :7 We did not use any music. If we had, you would not have heard it because we were all roaring, clapping and yelling sooo loud! :eek:
