Clutch at the Crows Nest

Had 16 HIM this morning at the Crow’s Nest

We started out with a typical warm up consisting of:

SSH, 5 Bur-pees, Windmills, 4 Bur-pees, Moroccan Night Clubs, 3 Bur-pees, Produce Pickers, 2 Bur-pees, Hillbilly Walkers, and yes you guessed it, one last Bur-pee

We took the long Mosey to the back to get started on the THANG:

DORA 1,2,3,2,1

Merkins

Bulgarian split squats

LBCs

Squats

Dips

Next on the agenda was going to be MONSTER 11’s on the “Green Monster” (Hill for those that may not know) BUT we were getting close to time so we went with the MINI MONSTER 11’s instead on the, less steep although just as long, hill nearer to the parking lot.

The 11’s consisted of CDDs at the top and Bur-pees at the bottom, but due to time constraints (and a few gassed PAX, namely me) I called an audible halfway through and we finished the 11’s with CDDs top and bottom.

Final mosey back to beginning for a refreshing round of stretches then we called it done.

UNO (a VQ dream)

3D’s VQ premiered an UNO workout with 12 guys.

(3D finally got access to post this.  Sorry for the delay.  It was so popular DropThrill has used it since.  Some of this is copied from his BackBlast.)

Shuffle the deck of Uno cards and whatever the number is, you perform that number of reps with the exception of 0 being 10. The color of the cards determines the exercise. You have to play your cards just like in Uno. Color on same color, or same number on same number.

Blue = Kettlebell curls
Green = LBC’s
Yellow = Squats with or without bell
Red = Upright rows
Skip = Run a lap
+2 = Two reps of 2 exercises from the list (player’s choice)
+4 = Four reps of all four exercises
Reverse = Do the same exercise you just performed
Wild = Change color

Sounds simple right? It is, until you get stuck on a color or number for a while.

If you dont have a card to play, you draw another card and have to do a Burpee.  The crew flipped this and in the spirit of camaraderie, everyone did a Burpee for every card drawn.

Folks tried to call out Uno, but we didn’t have a contingency for this.  Something to add for next time.
