After the standard disclaimer in 24 degree (feels like temp) weather, I connected my bluetooth speaker, and hit shuffle on my F3 playlist. My standard music rules apply. Any of the PAX can declare a skip at anytime, resulting in 10 burpees for the entire PAX. There are no back to back skips, so skip wisely. The Pax moseyed across St. Charles Ave. for a warm up in Loyola’s Rosy Palm Court. Warmup exercises were in cadence:
SSH x20, Imperial Walkers x20, Hill Billys x20, F/B ArmCircles x10, Grass Grabbers x10… After warm up we proceeded to the base of the Big Mountain.
Once at the base of the Mountain, the PAX did Hurpees (hand release burpees) on both sides of each level of the Mountain until reaching the top. On level 3, Yanni popped up on the playlist, we had a skip, and the Pax added 10 burpees the the 5 hurpees.
After completing Hurpee Mountain, we went down to level 6, partnered up and did a DORA 100,200,300, Squats, LBTs (1 is 1) and, Rocky Balboas (2 is 1)
We wrapped up the workout in a circle of MARY with each PAX choosing an exercise until it was time to head back to the flag all to the sounds of Mardi Gras music.
COT ensued…It is always a privilege to lead this group of men!
