THE THANG: Using the islands in the parking lot as transition points, we completed the following – high knees, butt kick, toy soldiers, lunge walks, karaoke x 2. We then used the islands for exercise spots (10 reps, 20 for core exercises) – imperial Walker, hillbilly Walker, low slow squats, Merlin’s, mountain climbers, LBC, fluttas. Once exercises were complete, we used the islands for different levels of runs/sprints. Between islands, we completed the following sequence – 50% effort, walk, 75% effort, walk, 90% effort, walk, 50% effort, 75%, 90/95%, walk…. Before running back towards flag… Dora – 50 Merkins, 75 squats, 100 flutters then Mosey back towards flag and knock out a set of 10 inclined merkins, 20 step ups, and 10 more inclined merkins.
