Burpees, Alarms, and ABSOLUTIONS.

6 Pax came out this morning in perfect weather conditions! We got right into a quick warmup of IC SSH, TTT, and then OYO arm circles and windmills.

The THANG

We started off with Route 66. (Note to self: Never preblast that information again. People may not show up after this morning). Route 66 is a series of running and burpees. Jog the parking lot and every time you pass a light post, increase your burpee count by 1. Pass 11 light posts to reach 66 burpees. (Post 1, 1 burpee, Post 2, 2 burpees, Post 3, 3 burpees etc.) We were all pretty much ready to circle up and do name-o-rama at this point. But alas, it had only been 10 minutes. So we moved on and did 3 ALARMS (Arms, Legs, Abs, Run, Merkins). Every ALARM was followed by 10 Absolutions as a group. First 2 rounds OYO, last round IC.

ALARM 1

25 shoulder press

25 monkey humpers

25 sit ups

(Start in high plank and then total move is an 8 count: Groiner is 1,2, lower to elbow plank is 3, 4, plank jack is 5,6 and raise to high plank is 7,8)

ALARM 2

25 Plank Row with tricep kickback (alternating arms)

25 lunges

We finished up with prayer for some fellow FiA sisters.

I am so impressed by these ladies! I pulled this workout straight off of F3 Cherokee backblasts. I changed up a few of the exercises just to make it my own, but most of it was as prescribed and they all KILLED IT. I mean killed it. No one complained. I’m not even sure I saw anyone modify on any of the moves. Feeling strong this morning physically AND emotionally. Love spending Monday mornings with this crew!
