Thanksgiving is always a busy day for my family. My wife likes to do the Turkey Trot 5k up at the YMCA — and this year she and AJ took our dogs Pyrite and Rogue out with them, along with a whole gaggle of folks. Sounds like it was very well attended and a crazy scene.
Some years I have done the 5k with her, but this year I decided to bow out and hit the Thanksgiving team WOD at Continuum. And Mickey was able to join me, so we divided the clan evenly — 2 for the 5k and 2 for the WOD. Not too shabby.

We arrived and there were a bunch of people in attendance today for Coach Jimmy’s Turkey WOD… Lara & Jordan, Shaun & Stacy, Tim, Nick & Lisa, Drea, Melissa S, Heather, Todd, and a few other faces as well. We had a great mix.
Jimmy started us out with a 200m jog and then we did:
- 3 rounds
- 30 seconds of jumping jacks
- 30 seconds of air squats
- 30 seconds of burpees
I won’t say that I was fast with any of that. π But we did our best.
Once that was done, we broke into teams of 3 and started warming up our hang power cleans, grabbing weights for a farmer’s carry, etc.
The workout was:

- 25 minute AMRAP for teams of 3
- Partner 1 – 200 M KB Farmers Carry #70/#53/#45
- Partners 2 and 3 will work through the following
- 25 Wall Balls #20/#14
- 25 Hand Power Cleans #95/#75
- 25 Burpees over the Bar
- Partner 1 – 200 M KB Farmers Carry #70/#53/#45
Tim, Mickey, and I tackled this with 95/65# on the bar, 20/14# wall balls, and 55/35# farmer’s carry.Β
Do you know what killed us the most? The Farmer’s Carry! That was exhausting! But we got through 5 total rounds and chugged through as best we could.Β
Long story short, we burned off a few pre-Thanksgiving dinner calories. π
Great work Tim & Mickey and I hope everybody has a happy and safe holiday! It’s awesome to spend part of our day with our Continuum family!
Thanks Jimmy for a fun WOD!
