Rain was in the forecast, so the QIC planned for a beatdown that would keep the pax safe and dry. Imagine everyone’s surprise when there wasn’t a cloud in the sky? No matter…the beatdown had already been predetermined. Get the disclaimer out of the way. LET’S DO THIS!!!

WARMUP
Mosey over to the middle school parking lot.

*People were showing up late. The QIC was making mental notes*

IST x 15
Hillbilly x 15
Good morning x 10
Windmill x 10

*People were still showing up late. The QIC was making mental notes*

The Motivator (from 8)

THE THANG
Brainteaser SSH – do 20 total SSH, with the first 10 in cadence, and the final 10 in silence. Every member of the pax must stop in unison. If anyone stops early or late, then there’s a penalty (5 burpees). Guess what? We qualified for the penalty.

Each of these exercises involved music being played over a bluetooth stereo.

Bodies Hit the Floor
“Bodies” by Drowning Pool – https://youtu.be/04F4xlWSFh0

1. Hold plank

2. When the song begins counting (or on the Qs command), begin merkins OYO

3. When the chorus hits (“let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor”), do mountain climbers

The goal is for no bodies to hit the floor

Chumbawumba
“Tubthumping” by Chumbawumba – https://youtu.be/2H5uWRjFsGc

1. SSH during the song

2. When the chorus hits (“I get knocked down, but I get up again”), perform burpees OYO

In the Plank Tonight
“In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins – https://youtu.be/YkADj0TPrJA

1. Hold plank for the entire song

2. If at any point you need to break from plank position, you must run down the sidewalk to the awning and back, where you will resume the plank position

Roxanne
“Roxanne” by The Police – https://youtu.be/3T1c7GkzRQQ

1. Run in place

2. Every time you hear the word “Roxanne” you perform one burpee

Walk This Way
“Walk This Way” by Run DMC feat. Aerosmith – https://youtu.be/4B_UYYPb-Gk

1. Perform air squats

2. When the chorus hits (“walk this waaaaaay”), perform a lunge walk up and down the sidewalk

Jump Jump
“Jump” by Kriss Kross – https://youtu.be/010KyIQjkTk

1. Begin with incline merkins

2. When the chorus hits (“jump, jump”), perform squat jumps

3. Next verse, perform decline merkins

4. Final verse, perform LBCs

MOLESKIN
It’s been far too long since I’ve Q’d a workout at Highlands. It was fun. I know we did a ton of burpees, but nobody complained. Some mumble chatter, but plenty of grunting and moaning. The Motivator is a fan favorite, but I think everyone enjoyed the Brainteaser SSH even more! Thanks for allowing me to lead.
