The Afternoon Delight relocated from its typical AO location to the City Park Mothership for ann Afternoon Delight German edition. We started the workout with a disclaimer and we set off to warm up in the field adjacent to NOMA. I did put together a German Delight playlist littered with the “Chicken Dance” throughout. If the Chicken Dance came up, that was 5 Burpees for the PAX. It hit us on the first SONG! The warm up consisted of the following all in cadence:
SSHx20, Arm Circles F/Bx10, Imperial Walkersx20, Mountain Climbersx20, Downward Dog stretch for 15 seconds.
Next we partnered up at the foot of NOMA for a DORA 123 German style. Exercises were 100 LBTs (2/1), 200 Shoulder Taps (1/1), 300 Rocky Balboas (2/1). During thee transition from running to exercising each pair had to doe si doe reminiscent of Clark Griswald German dancing during Oktoberfest in the movie “European Vacation.”
Next the PAX gathered in a Ring of Fire for a Burpee Palooza, name that Artist. The PAX did 3 Burpees while the new song started to play, the PAX to the left had to name the artist of the song. Miss and that was 5 more burpees, get it right, 10 air squats. Here are the results to the best of my recollection:
Mr. Brightside – the Killers – SOGO – Burpees
Shout at the Devil – Motley Crue – Walker – Squats
Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond – Couch -Burpees
Block Rockin Beats – Chemical Bros – Blowout- Burpees
Sexy Back – Justine Timberlake – Pipeline – Squats
Elvira – Oak Ridge Boys – Douille – Squats
What A Fool Believes – Doobie Bros – Subprime – Burpees
Chicken Dance – 5 Burpees
FUN – Pitbull – Almonaster – Burpees
For Those About To Rock – ACDC – Strings – Burpees (Can’t believe he missed it!)
Africa – Toto – Manchovy – Burpees
Aint no Mountain High Enough – Michael McDonald – Whopper – Burpees
All I Do Is Win – DJ Kahled – Big Willie – Burpees
Any Way You Want it – Journey – ??? Squats
Black Dog – Led Zeppelin – Wille – Squats
It’s quite clear that the PAX does not pay attention to who sings the song….
We an back to the flag, closed with a traditional COT and adjourned to the Deutsches Haus for some German “Cawfee,” and were met by several cawfee only PAX. It was a beautiful night! Always a pleasure to lead such a great group of men, even if they don’t know their music.
