I. The Warm-O-Rama (The Tip-Off)
• The Mosey: A light 5-minute jog around the AO (Area of Operation) to get the blood flowing.
• Side-Straddle Hops: 20 reps in cadence (IC).
• Imperial Walkers: 15 reps IC (keep it slow to stretch the hip flexors).
• Windmills: 10 reps IC.
• Rebound Jumps: 30 seconds of small, rhythmic hops (stay on the balls of your feet).
II. The Thang: “The Road to the Final Four”
This is a four-station circuit. Spend 4 minutes at each station. If the group is large, split into four teams and rotate.
Station 1: The Round of 64 (High Reps, Low Impact)
• 64 Mountain Climbers (Single count): Focus on form, not speed.
• 64 Air Squats: Steady pace. Keep the chest up like you’re boxing out for a rebound.
Station 2: The Sweet 16 (The Core)
• 16 Big Boy Sit-ups: Slow and controlled.
• 16 Box Jumps (or Step-ups): Use a curb or bench. Step-ups are the preferred moderate modification here.
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 3: The Elite 8 (Upper Body)
• 8 Merkins (Push-ups): Quality over quantity.
• 8 Carolina Dry Docks: Great for the shoulders.
• 8 Werkins (Wide-arm push-ups):
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 4: The Full Court Press (Cardio)
• The Suicides: Run 10 yards and back, 20 yards and back, 30 yards and back.
• The Modification: Perform this at a 60% “recovery” pace rather than a sprint.
III. The “Buzzer Beater” (Finisher)
The “Bobby Hurley.” On the Q’s command, everyone “slaps the floor” (squats down to touch the ground) and jumps up for a jump shot.
• Perform 15 reps total.

Good group for a chilly morning. Decided to be super creative and use date as workout plan. Yog over to side of lowes for 3 exercises, 13 reps of each: HR merkins, big boys, and squats. Repat this at 2 more stops until we ended up near the Imdian restaurant. Break up into 3 teams, 2 teams work while 1 team does active rest. Teams 1 & 2 do 10 merkins while team 3 holds plank, then 2 & 3 merkins and 1 planks, then 1 & 3 merkin and 2 planks. 2 rounds of this. Then same sequence but big boys were the exercise and 6″ leg holds were the rest. 2 rounds of that. Then another 2 rounds with squats and Al Gores. Yog over to main parking lot. Everyone line up on curb for 15 merkins, 15 big boys, and 15 squats, then run 3 line suicide. 13 merkins, 13 big boys, 13 squats, 2 line suicide. 11 merkins, 11 big boys, 11 squats, run to far line and back. Circle up, PAX are doing shoulder taps while 2 do 5 merkins. Rotate merkins around the circle until everyone has done 2 sets. Next round was lunges and 3 burpees. Again go around until everyone did 2 sets of burpees. Back to the cars for a few minutes of Mary. Thanks for the opportunity <@U04M7P605SM>!
