April 6. This date in history…
1924: 4 planes went around the globe, so we went around the school, stopping at every door for 4 Merkin variations.
1917: US entered WWI. So we did 19 American Hammers and 17 WWIs
1948: Soviets marked the undisputed attainment of the North Pole, so 19 Dips and 48 Step Ups
1909: Peary claimed to reach the North Pole, so 9 runs up the hill (5 forward and 4 Bernie’s)
1896: First modern Olympics, so we did a Triple Check of Track and Field (Jog around the track), Cycling (Freddie Mercury), and Wrestling (Carolina Dry Docks)
1939: Royal Huddleston Burpee Sr created the Burpee, so we did Burpees every other pole on the colonnade (about 20). Actually it wasn’t this date, but I like doing Burpees. 🙂
Finished off with Abs by the American Flag. American Hammers, Heals to Heaven, Irish Hammers and Flutter Kicks
