A lovely spring morning brought ten John Travolta wanna-be’s to a Hoedown. According to Uma Thurman dancing through EF Huton’s head, it went something like this:
Moseyed to the upper blacktop, ran a lap and then circled up for some warmups of SSH, Hillbillies, Ukrainian Soldiers, DQs, Deadman hang to Cherry Pickers, Freddie Mercuries, Mercury Freddie’s, LBCs and a pencil role to merkins.
We then lined up for some square dancing (four corners) starting with 10 donkey kicks, 20 squats, 30 Shoulder Taps, 40 SSH (Doing every exercise on the way back). Had so much fun and did it again with 10 HRM, 20 WWII, 30 LBCs, 40 Hammers.
Everyone was starting to get their groove on and the imaginary music moved us to do the burpee shuffle. Ten burpees, then shuffle half way down the blacktop, then nine and shuffle back—all the way down to one. 55 total burpees. The Pax loved it. There was time to do it again but I went against the pax and took us down to the loop and did two rounds of a triple check—run the loop, people’s chair with air press and merkins.
Accused of not being creative enough, I had us partner up and do a Bro-Burpee. This is the hot new dance coming to an AO near you.
We circled up and finished with a burpee ring of fire—went around 3 times. Senior Frog may still be there doing burpees as he wouldn’t stop.
The pax started the morning complaining about their Saturday workout and they transitioned to complaining about mine by the end. Mission accomplished.

Thanks for letting me lead.
