Cowbell and YHC have often discussed the misery of Monday mornings at the Marsh. Typically they’re not the most difficult beatdowns of the week, but coming off the weekend, as Lionel Ritchie would tell anyone who’d listen, they’re never easy, easy like Sunday morning.
In fact, this beatdown was designed purposefully to be easy, and it still wasn’t easy. If that makes any sense whatsoever.
After a quick warmorama at center court (consisting of toe touches, arm circles, good mornings, windmills, ssh’s) we took a mosey.
This whole thing was a mosey, in fact – up the trace, to Jackson, down to the lakefront and back – with the stipulation that we’d stopped at (most) intersections to perform a 1 minute AMRAP of an exercise. From what YHC can remember, it was something like:
- squats
- LBCs
- merkins
- mountain climbers
- flutter kicks
- freak nasties
- knee ups (1 min each leg)
- burpees
- jump squats
- monkey humpers
And then back in time to hit the pull up bars for 20 oyo.
Abbreviated mary of Freddie Mercs and leg raises, and Akbar prayed us out. Thanks men for posting and for the opportunity to lead, as you know, I wouldn’t be out there if it wasn’t for you guys!
