Looked better on Paper!

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walker, Nightclubs, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Squats, Merks, Flutters, …etc
THE THANG: Pick a parking spot – let the fun begin – round 1: 3 exercises 10 reps each SSH, PlankJax, seal jack – flutters as the pax rotate down to next parking spot vacated in a rotating fashion ( bear crawl was mode of transportation)
Continue this cadence until you arrive back at original spot.
Round 2 – same cadence – 5 reps each – using parking block – Iron Mikes, Dips, and Bomb Jax – mode of transportation (mosey)
Time was flying so we stopped midway and headed for the “hill” by the football field that has a small minor smidge of an incline – where we began a round of 6s( modified to 4 s) due to time with Squats at bottom and Merks at top of hill.
Headed back to COT at the clock was ticking …
Mainframe helped us knock out 3 mins of Mary. Nice work by all!!!
The weinke looked better on paper. Q had to call a few audibles to make the time and reps bearable ( no pun)
