What better way to start the week with a great workout built around music. After a quick introduction and warmup stretch we took off at the speed of a 3-toed sloth with arthritis. The course was approximately one mile. I attempted to bring a little Army training into the run and sing cadence, to get everyone in step. After about 1 minute, I realized that staying in step and singing at the same time, should be worked on at a later date.
At the first stop, we welcomed our first song, Bring Sally Up. Just like the song says, stand up when Sally goes up and squat when Sally goes down.
At the second stop I decided to bring a little bit of history into the fold and played Snoopy versus Red Baron, by the Yultide Singers. This consisted of doing jumping jacks in tempo with the song, and doing pushups during the 10, 20, 30 portions of the song. If you have heard the song, you know what I mean.
At the third stop, we played the ever famous Thunderstruck, by AC/DC, and did a burpee every time the word Thunder was said.
At the fourth stop we played Black Betty by Ram Jam. We did squats to the beat of the music and did half burpees during the “Oh black betty” verse. We concluded the workout with the motivator, just to make sure everyone’s calves were completely smoked.
Thankfully, Nancy Lopez kept us on track with the time.
