5 posted for a President’s Day themed workout this morning. Warm up and then Presidential trivia workout. If you’re reading this, see if you can guess the significance of the numbers. Correct answers at the bottom of the post 😉
1 Burpee, 2 Carolina Dry Docs , 5 Squats, 10 Merkins, 20 WWIIs, 50 single count American Hammers, and 100 Calf Raises.
Around the circle to stop at 8 lights for 8 cumulative exercises for an 8 count of: Burpees, Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Jump Squats and Don Q’s.
As we guessed the significance of 8, we did a few punitive Burpees until we got to 47.
To the colannade and the polls and an Indian Run of: 8 Pole Smokers, 8 Boxing Cockroaches, 8 Mike Tysons, 8 Air Press, 8 Muhammad Ali’s, 8 Head-Should-Knees and Toes…repeat until we ran out of poles.
Mosey back for some stretching, counting and more trivia.
