1776 Merkins and a tour of Okwata

Well, that’s what 1776 Merkins feels like! I’m glad we decided to share them as a group…

This was my first Q and we had an amazing attendance with very special guests from uptown. The idea was to get a little tour of Okwata and also celebrate America by doing Merkins and planking after each quick run.

We started at the flag, moseyed to the “round thing with water in it” for 20 merkins, arm circles, Side straddle hops

We then ran on top of the levy to canal for: 20 Merkins, bear crawl across canal on top of Levy, Then 20 Merkins

Next, we ran down the levy to the “circle of benches” for an assortment of excercises including 20 Merkins, American hammers (thanks for reminding me how to do them! Lol), dips, derkins, low slow squats.

Next, we ran to the parking lot by the “family reunion center” and did 20 Merkins, side straddle hops, imperial walkers,  Peter Parker’s, dying cockroaches.

We then ran back to the “circle of benches” and did 20 Derkins, low slow squats, grass grabbers, box jumps, dips, each of these separated with a 180 degree rotation (jog) around around the circle.

The group agreed to a “one minute of standing at attention” (maybe we can make a name for this) to honor our military.

Back to the flag for20
More merkins and cot.

At some point we did some burpees for good measure. Can’t remember when though…

Special thanks to all For putting up with my lack of consistency in beginning the exercises and to Sogo for remaining me the names of exercises. Also thanks to Screwtop for signing me up for this Q! He missed a good one!
