As the month of March approaches its end, so does the March of the Penguins CASUP (1000 Penguins per day in the month of March). Special shout out to @Sandbar, and @Sogo for accompanying me on this journey. Also, a big thank you to the Qs this month who added extra penguins to their workout. That does not included @Douille who did 3 total penguins at Misty Mountain last Saturday. <\/p>\n

Yours truly rolled into the workout right at 5:30AM, dressed in a Penguin onesie, with Welcome to the Jungle blaring on the bluetooth speaker. My standard music rules applied. The PAX can skip a song with a 10 burpee penalty for the entire group. After the standard disclaimer, we moseyed to the field for a warm up, all in cadence.<\/p>\n

SSH x 20
\nImperial Walkers x 20
\nMountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters x 15 each
\nSelf Love OYO for 1 minute
\nArm Circles Reverse\/Forward x 10
\nHillbillies x 20<\/p>\n

The PAX then made it\u2019s way to the statue in front of the zoo, and partnered up for a not so traditional DORA. The only exercise was 600 Penguins 2\/1. Partner 1 ran the small loop while Partner 2 banged out penguins. We had 2 skips during the DORA, resulting in 20 burpees. The skipped songs were \u201cLiving on a Prayer\u201d by Bon Jovi and \u201cSpoon Full of Sugar\u201d from the Mary Poppins sound track. <\/p>\n

The next transition was a run to the bandstand where the PAX circled up on stage for the Name That Tune challenge. The songs on this playlist are all songs that we know and love, but they are sung in a Lounge Singer style by the one and only Richard Cheese. The PAX did 30 Penguins 2-1 while the song played, then the PAX to the left had to guess either the song title OR the original artist. Get it right and we continue with penguins, a wrong answer gets the PAX 20 merkins. Some of the songs played were hits like, \u201cBaby Got Back\u201d, \u201cGin and Juice,\u201d \u201cBrass Monkey,\u201d and \u201cBeen Caught Stealing\u201d just to name a few. The PAX did pretty well as we only had 2 wrong answers resulting in 40 merkins. With 6:15AM approaching we made our way back to the flag for the standard COT. <\/p>\n

It is a pleasure to lead these men in a workout, and I appreciate the PAX indulging me in my crazy ideas. <\/p>\n
