On the eve of what turned out to be a surprisingly strong tropical depression, YHC was looking at the weather forecast for Saturday morning and decided to change things up and keep the pax under the peristyle in an attempt to stay relatively dry.
Waking up YHC was surprised to find the rain was not as bad as expected, but still drizzly and windy, with storm debris all throughout the streets. The day started with a bit of adversity as YHC’s route to City park was redirected due to a large tree that had overturned during the night forcing a major detour. This led to YHC arriving to the Peristyle at 6:35. T-claps to Shorty for stepping up and leading the pax in some warmup to get things going.
We moved from the great lawn over to the peristyle to finish up the warmup of shoulder taps, arm circles, and windmills.
Thang 1
- Start with burpee/1 merkin and then broad jump. Burpee/2 merkins/broad jump, Burpee/3 merkins/broad jump……Burpee/10 merkins/ broad jump
- Now do another round but start at 10 merkins and work down to 1
With everyone’s heart rate up we moved to to the main event – YHC‘s best impersonation of Tony Horton for a P90x style plyometric workout.
