Burpees Don’t Impress Us!

Burpees Don’t Impress Us!

It was a chilly and damp morning for 9 men to show up and work like they’ve never worked before. It all started with a bit of a warm-up.
– Quick little jog around the lower parking lot
– Circled up for some Side-Straddle-Hops, Imperial Walkers (I guess Mcgee heard burpees), and Merkins

Once Mcgee was done trying to impress us with all his burpees we headed over the field for a five point “star”.
– Starting at the middle light post we ran out to the individual light post surrounding the field and back to the original starting light post. At each light post was 10 of a called exercise. After completing the called exercise, we ran back to the original light post for 3 burpees (for my boy Mcgee) before heading out to the nest light post.
Round 1: 1) Merkins 2) Squats 3) LBC 4) Lunges 5) Carolina Dry Docks
Round 2: 1) Diamond Merkins 2) Jump Squats 3) Flutter 4) Sumo Squats 5) Wide-arm Merkins

After that we headed over to the track for a little something new. We did an Indian run but with a twist. Instead of the person in the back running to the front of the line, the person in the front of the line had to run around the track to try to catch up with the end of the line. This was not for the faint of heart and there was no judgment on those that cut across the field to catch the end of the line.

Once everyone had a chance to catch the line we went over to the playground. We got into groups of two, one person did a called exercise while the other ran around the island and back. Flap-jacked and continued for 2 or 3 rounds each exercise.
Round 1: 10 pull-ups and plank until partner came back
Round 2: Tri-dips until partner came back
Round 3: Derkins until partner came back

After the three rounds we had just enough time for some Mary to close things out.

Great workout to start out the week!
