WARMUP: petting Wegmans Boston Marathon medal
THE THANG: see above
MARY: too many to name
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Wegmans ran the Boston Marathon
COT: more petting
WARMUP: lap around the parking lot, SSH, Moroccan Nightclubs, windmills
THE THANG: Do 1 More
This is a 12 round AMRAP 1 minute each with a 45 second break to do as many as you can. I told the pax to write down their number after each round. I did not tell them if a high number was good or bad or how it would affect the other pax good or bad so that they would push themselves. The rounds were:
Merkins
Squats
CDDs
Burpees
SSH
Bobby Hurleys
Plank jacks
Big boys
Shoulder Taps
Overhead Claps
Mtn Climbers
LBCs
Then we talked about how much we accomplished, but how much more was till to be done. But that you can do more than you think you can, so add 1 more to each rounds reps for round 2. i.e. 41 Merkins in round 1 meant 42 Merkins in round 2.
By the end, we had completed as a group (13 bootcampers) 9,155 reps in 45 minutes. Feel accomplished, you guys did a ton of work!

Next, we ran to the First Baptist Church parking lot. I did my best to describe this workout as the merkin mile, 20 merkins at each island, each lap, 5 laps = 1 mile. Once complete, we did the same routine swapping out the merkins for squats and LBCs.
