The 12 Days of Merkins

I snapped at the chance to pick up a Q that Purple Rain couldn’t make this morning at the Rolling Stone.  At home the evening before, I thought “let’s get festive” and make the all about the reason for the season……..

Let’s begin:

Lap around around the back parking lot, 5 burpees in each corner. (aka, the Tony Romo standard)

Warm-o-rama
Side Straddle Hops
Cotton Pickers
Cheech Sissy Fights

Onward Merry Gentlemen!  Next up was “The 12 Days of Merkins.”  This was my take on the 12 days of Christmas, but with merkins, see what I did there? We proceeded to mosey around the parking lot and stop in each corner and midway between to celebrate each day of merkins.  The exercises below were rack and stack (we just never unpacked)
On the first day of Merkins my true love game to me….1 regular merkin….mosey to the next spot
On the second day of Merkins my true love game to me….2 right hand on the curb merkins….mosey to the next spot.
On the third day of Merkins my true love game to me….3 left hand on the curb merkin….mosey to the next spot
On the fourth day of Merkins my true love game to me….4 urkins….mosey to the next spot
On the fifth day of Merkins my true love game to me….5 derkins….mosey to the next spot
On the sixth day of Merkins my true love game to me….6 diamond merkins….mosey to the next spot (at this point Couch Potato stopped the mumble chatter LOL)
On the seventh day of Merkins my true love game to me….7 wide merkins….mosey to the next spot
On the eighth day of Merkins my true love game to me….8 booyah merkins….mosey to the next spot
On the ninth day of Merkins my true love game to me….9 left tricep presses….mosey to the next spot
On the tenth day of Merkins my true love game to me….10 right tricep presses….mosey to the next spot
On the eleventh day of Merkins my true love game to me….11 right leg raised merkins….mosey to the next spot
On the twelfth day of Merkins my true love game to me….12 left leg raised merkins….mosey to the next spot

in all 364 merkins!

Next up “Joy to the Abs”  with roughly 4 minutes left, we moseyed to the flag for a bit of ab work
50 LBCs in cadence
10 low slow flutter in cadence

HARD STOP – JUST IN TIME.

I stood up and most of the PAX were still laying on the ground.

Announcements, prayers, out!
