  • I got this, partner – from Thighs

    As the title says, today’s workout was focused on partners, now that we have 4 people in the AO.

    We started the beat down with a warmup:

    15x Jumping Jacks
    7x Windmills
    7x Cherry Pickers
    7x Merkins
    7x In Tempo Merkins
    7x Peter Parkers
    7x Squats
    7x In Tempo Tempo Squats

    First, we partnered up and did:

    Catch me if you can
    Rounding around the block
    Round 1:
    Two partners. Partner 1 performs 5 Burpees, and then sprints to catch the Partner 2, who has been running backwards.
    Round 2: 10x Bobby Hurleys

    Then mosey-ed to the light poles.
    We partnered up and did:

    Dora 1-2-3
    100x Merkins
    200x Hello Dollies
    300x Squats
    Each subsequent round we increased the run by 2 more light poles

    Then we partnered up again and did:

    Flat Tire
    Partner 1 gets into wheelbarrow and takes 4 steps then does 1 derkin, takes 8 steps and does 2 derkins. We continued that 4:1 and then 8:2 rotation for 2 light poles. Then we switched partners and headed back.
    We did 2 rounds

    Then we moseyed over to the amphitheater and we did:

    Pattycake Merkin Line
    Each member gets into plank facing the same direction in a line. The first person plank walks to the front of the first person and calls out a hand and then do that hand’s pattycake merking. The person planks walk down the line through all members. Once at the end, the next person planks walk and pattycake merkins down the line.

    We did this for 2 light poles

    Then we mosey-ed to a grassy part. We partnered up and we did:

    Rochamburpees
    Both in low plank position. Play Rochambeau (rock, paper, scissors) while in low plank position. Round 1: loser does 1 Burpee, winner does 1 Merkin. Stay in low plan and play 10 total rounds.

    We ended the workout with some Ab Workout (4count)
    10x Ab X-Extensions
    10x Backstrokes

    We closed out with the usual close out, sending us off with a prayer.

    Looking forward to next time!
