With Monday mornings not exactly being anyone’s favorite, YHC thought it best to theme a workout on sucky exercises. Embrace the suck.
Warm-up: 20 squats, 20 merkins, 20 IWs, all OYO, run 2 minutes out, 2 minutes back.
1st exercise I hate: jump lunges, or Sister Mary Catherines. For ~6 minutes, alternate sets of these (10X) with sets of various merkins – regular, wide-arm, diamond, stagger right and left. I think we got five rounds total then run 2 minutes O/B.
2nd exercise I hate: donkey kicks. For ~6 minutes, alternate sets x10 with coupon exercises. Curls/tricep extensions, then rows and flutter presesses. Repeat each. Four rounds total, run 2 minutes O/B.
3rd exercise I don’t care for: bear crawls and crab walks. Each set is 10 paces out, 10 paces back, alternated with PAX choice Mary. 5 rounds total. 2 minutes O/B.
Finish it off with, predictably, burpees. To try and mix things up, YHC called sets where we do multiple merkins for every burpee. So for the first set, 3 merkins per burpee, x5. 2nd set was 4 merkins per burpee, x3. Think we got 4 sets total alternating with PAX choice exercises.
Announcements: DaVinci converging with Stonehenge this Saturday for July 4. Be on the lookout for info on the 5k/10k happening July 18 to support local causes.
