I promised a workout that was simple yet effective… and that was my plan.

Also No Burpees!!

Started with an extended mosey to the “Badlands” Library. There’s even a book named in his honor there!

After that Moseyed to the corner in between First Watch and Cyclebar.

Did 20 HR Merkins and 20 Toe Touches. Then ran up to 160…turned right… turned right again then made another right… ending right back where we started for just about a .25 loop.

Then we did 19 Hr Merkins and 19 Toe touches.

So the plan was to continue the loops reducing the reps by one each time.

So at this point it became a you Vs. you. 33 minutes later…everyone was well over 3 miles and had their fill of merkins.

Simple… effective… Ocham’s Razor.

Thanks for the opportunity! Always appreciate the chance to start 1-0.

👊👊👊
