Warm-Up
We kicked things off with 39 Side Straddle Hops in cadence, then rolled through the usual suspects: cadence merkins, arm circles, seal claps, overhead presses, Moroccan nightclubs, and a sprinkle of imperial walkers mid–shoulder burn just to see if they’d help or hurt (jury’s still out). Closed with some light stretching.

– 13 8-count body builders
– 13 WWIs
– 13 jump squats
– Run down and up the stairs.
– Repeat 3x for a total of 39 reps per exercise.
The Thang – Part 2
Run to the benches.
– 13 dips
– 13 incline merkins
– 13 elevated Alabama prom dates
– Run to Benson Ave and back.
– Repeat for good measure.
Finisher
Cadence 8-count body builders, mosey back to StartEx, cadence Mary, and—you guessed it—more 8-count body builders.

COT
Grateful for another lap around the sun and for the men who showed up to start the day right.
