F3Zoom: Beachbody by Nash

The BackBlast:

There’s like a whole template for this thing. Apparently I’m not writing backblasts regularly. What’s with the drop down box for names? Is this designed to keep Cindy from making up strange and incorrect nicknames for the actual strange (but correct) nicknames?

There is currently no “Virtual” or “Nash Garage” location in the list either – so I picked Bastion. It is Thursday and close by.

First time leading workout via Zoom. Thanks to the pax for dealing with experimentation, muffled audio and whatever other issues. Overall it seemed to work OK.

What we did:

Warm up with some SSH + Squats. Jog 2 minutes (pro tip – turn around and head back to your video after 1 minute run out).

Tabata: 20 seconds on/10 seconds off (x8)

Round 1 – merkins and POWER mountain climbers (don’t ask me to explain but I’ll demonstrate if you see me in the Home Depot parking lot or wherever)

Round 2 – Jump squat + lunge

Round 3 – Peter parker + Makhtar

Round 4 – Single leg squats (balance balance balance!)

Round 5 – Jump Squats + Rock hoppers

Round 6 – Burpees

Between each round we did 2 minutes of running. Running varied from jog to sprint intervals (10 sec self timed) to general hard running for 2 minutes. Everyone seemed to be able to get back in about the right amount of time.

Miss being with everyone but you can get a decent amount of mumblechatter on something like single leg squats (burpees not so much). You vs You on the running – lonely out there. Minimal amount of heckling – so far F3 Zoom crew is a reasonably polite and understanding one. Note – that is not a challenge to anyone to disrupt this trend!

Biggest recommendation for other Qs – give clear instructions speaking directly into mic/camera. Everything has to be a little more crisp than in person.

I’m giving us strong credit for being a good looking crew. Tony Horton production value has nothing on this crew. We could buy ad space on CNBC touting our new workout app and stream visuals of Checkpoint doing single leg squats while charging huge monthly fees. Wait, never mind, our “business model” is different. Our best bet is to keep giving it away and convince everyone to drop the other stuff. No need to buy it – the opportunity is there for you to get what you need for free (just be sure to give it all back).

I’ve got next Thursday. Maybe throw in some KB and other stuff. In the meantime, sign up to Q. Just like in person – you won’t regret you did it.

Peace out!
