13 Pax posted for the first cold morning workout in New Orleans. Perfect temperature.
I hate burpees and need to conquer them so I worked them into workout in small doses in order to accomplish a large goal.
First -we started at the flag with .. 10 burpees
We headed to the Peristyle for some jumps up a small wall, 5 burpees on the patform, 10 plank jacks, 5 extreme decline (balls to the wall?) merkins. Repeat 4 times.
Over the bridge and through some woods to warm up in a field: Arm circles, calf raises, 5 burpees, imperial walkers, some other warm-ups, 5 more burpees
Next – over to Crawfish Island – fortunately it was cold and there were no rotten crawfish. We grabbed a bench a did a series of box jumps, leg ups, and single-leg squats. No burpees here.
Indian run through the front of the park with a break for some zombie walkers and… burpees.
Next over to Delgado community college for some backwards bear crawl up the front steps while the other half of the group did LBCs. We got kicked out. Isn’t Delgado a public place? The campus cop didn’t seem to want to negotiate.
Back into the park with a couple of burpee breaks.
Over to the the performance pavillion for some very high leg-ups and box jumps along the water with some breaks for… burpees.
And finally we finished up on the Great Lawn with a series of animals and Mary with numerous breaks for… burpees.
110 Burpees in all. Apparently this is a record for the New Orleans group. Seems to low. Will push for more next time.
It was a big goal that I might have wanted quit on all at once…. but by conquering it one bite at a time we easily got there.
