Metal Merkin Monday

Low 40’s

 

Monday’s have been getting BIG numbers so I made the push over the weekend on Slack and Twitter to get as many HIM out of their fartsacks as possible. My goal was to top Onecall’s bragging rights of 21 with at least 22 PAX posting.

 

I rolled up at 5:20 am and went directly to the big parking lot and laid out 3 sheets of paper with the plan and the exercises listed. I also left my phone and bluetooth speaker strategically positioned for the listening enjoyment of some metal mania to pump up all’s Monday morning in the gloom.

 

Headed back to the COT to find just a few PAX there so far. Gave the 1-minute warning as many, many more PAX filtered in. At 5:30 disclaimer was given and jumped right into the first exercise. The numbers increased but just how many are here?

 

25 – SSH

15 TTT

15 IW

20 – LBAC

20 – LBAC in reverse

I remembered Goldberg initiating a count-o-rama at the beginning of a workout so I called out a count-o-rama and the number was 16. I literally then counted on my fingers to find out that we needed 6 more PAX to achieve my goal. Anyway, 16 worked out perfectly as you’ll see.

 

20 – OHP

 

I joined the circle for a round of heels to butt as each PAX called down for everyone to do a burpee.

 

8 PAX grabbed coupons and headed to the big parking lot while the other 8 did an Indian Run with the added twist of tossing a tennis ball to the man behind him. If the ball hits the ground, everyone does a burpee. Ball hit twice.

 

As I hit play on my setlist we made our way to the far side of the parking lot and Welcome to the Jungle started blasting.

The 8 PAX that didn’t carry a coupon over were responsible for returning them while the other 8 mosey’d back to the COT.

 

As the metal kept blasting we did a round of Mary and every PAX got to call out an exercise. Everything from flutters to freddie mercury’s to supermans to side stradle hops. Texas Ranger called the last exercise and time was called.
