In this video

This is part two of the WarriorBabe weekend retreat in Florida, filmed by Nikkiey Stott. It starts with a shared breakfast of breakfast tacos and bagels, carbs included, and then moves into a workout the women did not see coming: a 10x10 for time, with 10 exercises at 10 reps, a 25-minute cap and a non-stop running clock.

After the workout, Michelle leads the group into a polar plunge. From there it is lunch at Margaritaville, a battle with a restaurant light remote, a loud and very funny game night, and homemade potato nachos. The next morning brings another workout and a helicopter ride for some of the group.

Then the plans change. A 3:30 a.m. canceled flight turns into one more day in Florida, a first try at oysters for some of the crew, and a delayed trip home through Charlotte. It is a look at what a WarriorBabe retreat feels like: hard training, real food and women who show up for each other.

Key takeaways

  • The retreat workout was a 10x10 for time: 10 exercises at 10 reps each, completed as fast as possible within a 25-minute cap.
  • The clock ran non-stop, and the women rested only as needed.
  • The 10x10 moved from an upper body exercise to a core movement to a lower body exercise, then repeated that pattern through all 10 exercises.
  • Carbs were part of the retreat meals, starting with a bagel and cream cheese at breakfast.
  • Michelle led the group into a polar plunge right after the workout, with Nikkiey's advice to not even think about it and just go do it.
  • Jen's retreat nachos were built on potatoes, topped with taco meat, beans, corn, avocado, salsa and cheese.
  • When their flight was canceled, the group moved to a hotel and made the most of one more full day in Florida.

Full transcript

Nikkiey: What's up, guys, good morning. It is officially our first full day here. We all arrived here yesterday, and it was so cool to be with everybody, to meet some people that I haven't met yet, and for others to meet each other who they haven't met yet. It was just so incredible. So I think that we are now all officially here. I haven't gone downstairs yet. I hear some... Here we go, we're gonna say good morning to everyone. Cheryl!

Cheryl: Thank you!

Nikkiey: Yay! Whatcha making, Jen?

Jen: Sausage and eggs.

Nikkiey: Sausage and eggs. Ooh, good job.

Guest: That's a taco. Breakfast tacos.

Nikkiey: Yummy.

Guest: I found another roll of paper towel.

Nikkiey: I just got that on video.

Guest: Breakfast is ready.

Nikkiey: Woo! Jen did an amazing job. Yay! I'm hungry. Good morning!

Guest: Morning!

Nikkiey: What's she eating?

Guest: A bagel and cream cheese.

Nikkiey: Mmm. Oh, you got those carbs.

Guest: Oh yeah, lots of carbs.

Nikkiey: All right, guys, the calm before the storm. We're about to kick off our workout. They have no idea what we programmed for them. So what they're about to do is a 10 by 10, and it's all for time. So we're gonna put a time of 25 minutes to complete 10 exercises at 10 reps, right?

Guest: Yeah. Non-stop running clock. Rest as needed.

Nikkiey: We're moving from upper body, then a core movement, and then to a lower body, and then there's 10 exercises of that.

Guest: Yeah, as quick as you can do it. Let's go.

Nikkiey: I'm actually having some regrets, but it's gonna be fine. Let's go. Let's go!

Guest: 30 seconds! 3, 2, 1!

Guest: Ready, water game comes in! 1, 2, 3, water game!

Nikkiey: Okay, so this is what the team decided to do afterwards. Someone ask us why. They're gonna go take a polar plunge. It's one of those things, you know, a leader says it and you gotta go do it. This leader was Michelle, right?

Guest: Yes.

Nikkiey: So she is up in the front. Let's go, guys, don't even think about it, just go do it!

Nikkiey: How's that feel, guys? Good job, guys, good job. What a flex. Let's go. What's the best one?

Nikkiey: So we are off to lunch. Where are we going?

Guest: Margaritaville. Jimmy Buffett.

Nikkiey: Cheers.

Guest: Cheers. This is definitely keto.

Nikkiey: Yeah, for sure. Totally keto.

Nikkiey: So we want these lights to be on. But instead, Michelle, she's taking over the remote from the waiter.

Michelle: Where do you think I should go from here, Cheryl?

Nikkiey: And now all the music and TVs are off.

Guest: Oh. I think we got it. Two. Two. Two. Two. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh boy. Oh boy.

Nikkiey: What is happening? She's like, wait, wait.

Guest: Cheryl, look at what you did already. Should we press the R, the G, the B or the W? I think they're for colors.

Guest: Is there an S for space?

Guest: Okay, what we need to know is what button you pushed.

Guest: We don't need to. I just started.

Nikkiey: She has no recollection.

Guest: Nikkiey, what's your favorite color? Red, green, blue or white?

Nikkiey: Blue.

Guest: All right, here we go. Ready? Let there be lights.

Guest: I think that remote does not work. I don't feel like this has any batteries in it.

Guest: We already know it works.

Guest: I know. Let's open it and find out.

Guest: I'm detoxing. Oh, I'm gonna... Okay. Stroke leg. Oh, it's a leg! Oh! Uh, height.

Nikkiey: I know, this is why it's so freaking hilarious.

Guest: Pick a height. Take a height. No! Pick. The first one is pick, blank, with blank. No, you got to pick a already. Pick a. Pick a. Height. No, height. It sounds like height! I didn't know! But it's not. Height! Oh my gosh!

Nikkiey: That was just a preview of what's about to happen.

Guest: Veils? Veils? Out there? What? Uh-oh. The man in the moon. The man in the moon put me the word? Put. Put me the herd. Oh, I got a herd. I got the word. No. I got it. The herd. The herd. Bird? Bird! Word! No! Time! Slept me the bird! Oh!

Nikkiey: Jen, what'd you make?

Jen: We had nachos.

Nikkiey: How does it go down here?

Jen: We have potatoes on bottom, taco on top, beans, corn, avocado, salsa, cheese, and you make nachos.

Nikkiey: So this entire vlog I've been updating you guys, like, it's our first full day. Well, today was a day that we were all supposed to be flying back. Well, some of us were supposed to be flying back. We were supposed to be flying back. And at like 3:30 this morning, we got a notification from American Airlines saying that our flight was canceled. So we have relocated to a hotel, and we got to enjoy one more full day here in Florida with some of the crew that is left from the trip. We are heading off to... where are we going?

Guest: The golf.

Nikkiey: The golf. We're going golfing.

Guest: We're going to AJ's.

Nikkiey: That's where we're headed next.

Guest: All right, down the hatch it goes. How are you supposed to swallow it?

Guest: Like a light chew. Swallow.

Nikkiey: How are we doing?

Guest: I can't tell. Oh wow, that was awesome.

Guest: All right, it's your turn. Did you like the combo of the lemon and the...

Guest: I'm nervous. Okay. Oh my gosh. It's actually not bad.

Guest: I could have been doing oysters all these years.

Guest: You got this, you got it. Oh my god. You got this. Look at this.

Guest: What? I got stuck. Uh oh. Oh gosh. Okay, I thought we were coming back home.

Guest: Was it shell?

Guest: Yes.

Guest: You're up. Aww.

Nikkiey: Good morning.

Guest: Oh my gosh.

Nikkiey: Fun, I know. On a scale of one to 10, how agitated are you right now?

Guest: 12.

Nikkiey: So we were supposed to fly out yesterday. We got pushed to this early morning flight, which, okay, fine. But now we're delayed, and we have a connector in Charlotte, so...

Guest: And then she threw her hands in the air and she like...

Nikkiey: So where are we?

Guest: Almost to Charlotte.

Nikkiey: How do you know that for a change?

Guest: We don't really know yet about where we're going to go. We think from Charlotte.

Nikkiey: All right. We made it. We made it. We should make our connecting flight, so... yeah, here we go.

Nikkiey: Yo, we're home. We are home. And I've never been happier.
