11 Pax including a FNG posted to the best AO in the Area 51/Metro neutral zone for a burpee-athon sandwiched between running and field work:
The Thang:
Mosey to parking circle for the necessary lunges, shuffles, butt kicks, and high knees to warm up those cold (i.e., old) legs.
Proceed to COP for:
- 25 side straddle hops
- 15 slow, deep squats
- 10 hand-release merkins
- 10 burpees (real ones, with good form)
- Line up in end zone for 11s of hand-release merkins and burpees
- 1 hand-release merkin, run length of the field, 10 burpees, run back
- 2 hand-release merkins, run length of the field, 9 burpees, run back
- continue until you hit 10 merkins, and 1 burpees
Partner Up
Partner A runs the length of the field and back while Partner B does the called exercise. Then flap jack:
- Jumping squats
- Long, slow flutter
- you guessed it – hand-release burpees
The Qs wanted to make sure the Pax got their money’s worth today, so then ran a suicide drill to polish off the lungs.
DD brought us home with another set of 11s on the stairs:
- 10 monkey humpers
- hop up steps two at a time
- 1 hill billy followed by a squat
- Return to bottom, repeat 9/2, 8/3, …
The Pax were about half-way through this set of 11s as we ran out of time and returned to home base for name-o-rama.
Moleskin (with editorial by Baracus):
- Very complimentary group today…had at least two comments on my impeccable lunge walk form as we were warming up. #wheelhouse
- Great job by Winterplace in his first Q. His counting was good, once he remembered he was supposed to count. #rookie
- During the 11s on the football field I was questioning my decision to ask him to Q. I thought it would never end!
- Then we followed the 11s with…more running! Thanks for the suicides Winterplace.
- The stairwork was just cruel…as if our legs hadn’t had enough…monkey humbers, stairhopping, and hillbilly squats. #legsonfire
- Big props to our FNG – Big Easy. Great effort out there today. Keep coming back for more.
- Thanks for taking us out Arena.
- And thanks to Blue Rhino for giving me a ride home. Ran in, but definitely not running home after that beatdown!
