Then I walk west on the grass following the trail beside the John Nesbitt Loop to the benches at Harbor Way Gardens at the intersection of Hwy 74/76.
Here I do my second round of; Dips 15, Bench Pushups 10-15, and Mountain Climbers 25.
bicycles, crunches & hop overs
Continuing around the Loop, I walk the trail beside the Loop to M1,
a backless bench on East Salisbury Street after the driveway cut to the
Wrightsville Beach Museum of History.
There I do my first round of Bicycles and Crunches, 20 each (above).
Then I attempt full Hop Overs (right). I can do an abridged version; start-ing
with one foot on the bench, I complete the Hop Over, and then once in
motion I can fully hop back. Doing half the beginner, one foot on the bench
to start, I can finish each with a complete hop back. I could do as many as
six of these mid-June.
lunges & v-crunches
Coming up rather quickly is the U-shaped path that connects to
the covered picnic shelter on West Salisbury Street.
I lunge the concrete and wood bridge to the gazebo. There I do
my first set of V-Crunches, 20 reps and I lunge back out to the Loop
(second set).
I now get under the trees to walk that footpath continuing on East
Salisbury Street; I stop at the backed bench opposite 42 Pelican Drive.
Here I do a third and final set of Dips 15, Bench Pushups 10-15, and
Mountain Climbers 25.
Walking that footpath continuing east, the vista eventually opens to
the creek in the marsh in the center of the Loop. It is a lovely walk.
Almost opposite the old Scotchman, just across the little Kenan Creek
Bridge, is a backless bench tucked down off the concrete path. There I
do my second set of Bicycles and Crunches, 20 reps each.
