After the “almost got the wave going” version of Bohemian Rhapsody on Tuesday, YHC decided it was high time for a musical beatdown at the Ridge. A whopping 25 pax rocked and rolled their way through an eclectic mix and made themselves a little bit stronger in the process.

Mosey to the student lot, circle up, socially distance and disclaimer was given.

 

WARMUP

 

SSH x 10

Windmills x 15

Arm Circles forward and backward

5 burpees OYO

The plan was to do most of the work around the ticket booth area but given the turnout YHC elected to just maintain the wide circle and get to work.

 

THE THANG

 

Today, everything is set to music, so most exercises will be for a duration of each song with listening games sprinkled in unless otherwise specified. The first exercise is an exception. If at any point a break is needed, run to the end of the parking lot and back then resume the work.

 

 

“Super Bowl Shuffle” -1985 Chicago Bears

 

Burps to Merks (part 1)

Execute 10 burpees, increasing the number of Merkins by one each rep. Start at 1, go to 10, then take a lap.

 

 

“What Did I Miss?” -Hamilton Original Cast

 

Burps to Merks (part deux)

Descend down the ladder going from 10 to 1, then take a lap.

 

”Welcome To The Jungle” -Guns & Roses

Air squats. Execute 1 burpee at each “jungle.”

 

”Beat It” -Michael Jackson

Shoulder taps. Plank jacks at each “beat it.” Merkins at the guitar solo.

 

”Bodies” -Drowning Pool

Elbow Plank. Merkins at the numbers. Mountain climbers for the chorus.

 

Take a lap.

 

“Tubthumping” -Chumbawamba

Side Straddle Hop. Execute 1 burpee at each “I get knocked down, but I get up again.”

 

At this point recognizing the number of 2.0s present, all pax under the age of 15 were encouraged to take another lap… earmuffs on, coast is clear, let’s get real.

Run in place. Execute 2 high knees and 2 butt kicks at each “Wu.”

MOLESKIN

1. Thanks for playing along everyone. Strong, strong work. It’s another example of “what looks good on paper…”

2. Fun Fact: The screams on “Bodies” were actually just everyone’s shoulders.

3. It’s always an honor to lead. Thank you for the opportunity and enthusiasm.

4. Coffeeteria was great as always. We may have to throw The Electric Slide in the mix next time in honor of Wexler’s burgeoning home repair business.
