They were also unaware of the plan for 100 burpees, but didn’t complain (:cough: Rousey :cough:) when all was said and done.
Nice job today guys, and I’m honored to get to lead at such a great site with great PAX.
WARMUP: Mosey to Brixham Hill parking lot then 1-10x burpees alternating with 5x 4-count merkins, 5x ISWs, 5x CDDs, 5x LSSs, 5x Peter Parker’s, 5x Frankensteins, 5x Bonnie Blairs, 5x Arods, plank for 60s…that’s a 55 burpee warm-up, the other 45 are 🍰.
THE THANG: Head to Bagpipe hill then pair up and grab a cinder block; partner 1 does 5x blockees then rifle carry the block up the hill, partner 2 runs up the hill then back and switches out with partner 1 until both get to the top. Liked it so much we did it back down the hill. Total blockees = 25. That’s 80 (thanks Pilgrim).
Ditch the blocks and go to the Y for monkey humpers, WW1s, pretzel crunches, and more monkey humpers. Wanted to make sure the people on the tread mills got a good view.
On the way back to launch, stop by the wall at Walnut Grill for 3x rounds of 10x step up/jump ups and 5x burpees.
MARY: At launch, circle of Mary with box cutters, dying cockroaches, flutters, Freddie Mercs, and the last 5x burpees.
