Cooler weather prompted long sleeves. So refreshing. Today we were going to do the Burpee-Merkin-Mile on the track. However, after a pre-workout scouting run yielded a POSITIVE Hazel alert, we decided to use the parking lot track instead of the school track. I think it was a wise call, and Pax agreed.
WARMUP: SSH, LSS, IST, Hillbillies, merkins, mountain climbers, penny pickers, and windmills.
THE THANG: 1 Mile Burpee Merkin challenge.
At each 1/4 track station, perform a burpee. Then at each successive 1/4 track station, add another merkin to the burpee and run back to the start. Go to the 1/2 track station adding another merkin to the burpee, run back to start, and continue to the 3/4 track station, and so on. Once complete, pax would have completed 31 merkins and 8 burpees and ran 1 mile.
At the curb, do 30 calf raises, 25 Rocky Balboas, 20 Iron Mike Tysons, and 10 power rolls.
At the rock station, AMRAP Curls, skull crushers, bent over rows, and shoulder presses giving everyone time to finish their F2 and mumblechatter.
MARY: Round-robin pax favorite core exercises until time called.
COT: Prayers and support for all those suffering.
It was my pleasure to lead this awesome group of HIM. Thanks for the opportunity. Continue to encourage those around you with acts of kindness, generosity, and compassion!
