Warm Up: high knees, potato diggers, stretch while I explained the workout

The Thang: Burpee Power Hour

I used a power hour music mix on YouTube, this switched the song every minute. We did 100 reps of exercises.

When the song switched, we did 1 burpee and continued counting.

The exercises were:
-bicep curls
-tricep extensions or kickbacks
-hillbillies
-lateral raises
(Ran a lap)
-shoulder press
-imperial walkers
-bent over rows
-squats
(Run a lap)

I think we did about 40 burpees

Ended with abs- 1 min of each heel taps, crunches, bicycle crunches, plank.

COT: between the FiA nation declutter challenge and watching a documentary about minimalism, I’ve been thinking a lot about my stuff, what’s needed, what’s clutter, etc. I’ve been a maximalist my whole life, but have found it so freeing to get rid of stuff I don’t really need.

AO Riveter Station -RRG

PAX: Boots, Callalily, Peppermint Patty, Katniss, Margarette

Warm Up: squats, side lunges, jumping jacks

The Thang:
Blackjack with block burpees and Mike Tyson’s.
We finished with an ab circle: 1 minute of ankle biters, glute bridges, and leg raises.

The Skinny: I was a wreck this morning and forgot my contacts and water (ran back to the house for contacts lol); but the weather was warm so that’s a plus. It was rainy so we moved to the pavilion.

For black jack we ran half the length of the pavilion alternating our exercises.
By 18 block burpees my shoulders were screaming.
We took a break and did 2 rounds of 20-20-20 jumping jacks, squats, and bicep curls.


COT: I wish I was interesting and had something interesting or funny to say for a COT. BUT, the weather is warming and I’m so thankful for a change in season coming up. That’s all I got . Lol.
