Burpees make the best party favors

Burpees make the best party favors

13 pax showed up to celebrate YHC’s birthday. Cake, ice cream, and candles were nowhere to be found. Here’s what the pax received as party favors:

The Thang:

Mosey west on Ardrey Kell to Blakeney Professional Dr. Turn into the office park for a quick COP. ISW x 10 IC, PP Merkins X 10 IC, Windmill x 12 IC. Mosey over to the fountain area and partner up for Burpee Partner Hell. It’s a horrible name, I know, but it hasn’t been properly named as far as I know. P1 starts doing one burpee in each parking spot along the line. P2 runs to the end of the line, turns around and relieves P1 when they meet up. Flapjack. Continue until you reach the end of the line. Line of parking spots was about 150 spots, 1/3 of a mile long. Comments heard included “that’s a lot of burpees” (Ocho Cinco), “Goonie’s officially gone crazy (Cheddar), and multiple pax had different versions of “Goonie, you suck” and “F$#! You, Goonie.” All were relevant and deserved.

After that tomfoolery, we headed back across Ardrey Kell to some coupons that were strategically placed behind the Old Navy. Each pax grabs a brick paver.

Round 1: 5 reps of curls, overhead presses, tri extensions, and bent-over rows. Run with the paver to the corner of the complex, behind the large shopping strip.
Round 2: 10 reps of each. Run to the end of the Target building. A few rounds of Mary with the paver held above us.
Round 3: 15 reps. Run back to the corner.
Round 4: 20 reps. Run back to behind Old Navy.
Round 5: 25 reps. Grab all coupons and start heading back to launch. Arrive at 7:30. Done.

Skinny:

Thanks to Bucky and Fredo for the marketing. Great group of pax showed up and got after it. The burpee thing sucked. Plain and simple. The legs were feeling it a good deal the next day. Pax don’t show up for an easy workout, though. When you’re Qing, make sure you bring it.

Ocho Cinco, Teddy, and Bucky were flying the whole time. Mighty Mite was right behind them, aided by some questionable form. Real strong work by everyone grinding out a bear of a workout.

The coffeeteria was second to none. That always gets YHC through the tough Saturday workouts.
