Bond, James Bond

AO: iiipillars
Q: Vector
PAX: Focker, Go Fish, Grape, princessaurora, Pep, t-cell, Zelenskyy, Formica, Haggis, Harbaugh, Swiffer, Tacklebox
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
In celebration of James Bond Day (October 5th – who knew? Dr. No, the first Bond film was released in 1962 on that day) and because I thought it’d make a cool playlist, we put on our big boy spy shoes to celebrate 007.

CONDITIONS: Shaken, not stirred

PLAYLIST: Bond themes:
James Bond Theme – John Barry
Live and Let Die – Paul McCartney & Wings
The World is Not Enough – Garbage
Goldfinger – Shirley Bassey
The Living Daylights – a-ha
Nobody Does it Better – Carly Simon
Skyfall – Adele
A View to a Kill – Duran Duran
Goldeneye – Tina Turner
Die Another Day – Madonna
Another Way to Day – Jack White & Alicia Keys

WARMUP: SSH, LBAC, Seal Claps, Overhead Presses, Overhead Claps, RLBCs, Good Mornings, and Willy Mays Hayes to get prepped.

THE THANG:
“007s” – To help those PAX on their Octoburpee Challenge, 10 burpee buy-in and the 7s x 3 rounds: each with burpees, of course (and some grumbling about why @Blacklung wasn’t there), with jump squats, Lt Dans, and WWIs as the other paired exercise. In between, a 10 count and a PAX note of their favorite Bond film . . . Moonraker? Hmm . . . sure.

“SPY”s to honor the PAX member most suave like Bond, T-cell, we did his favorite exercises renamed to fit the theme: Super DIPs, Perfect Incline Merkins, Your Favorite Decline Merkins . . .

MARY: Rounds of exercises starting with Alabama Prom Dates, because Bond has, ahem, other skills too . . .
And the astute among us (@GoFish) counted we were up to 93 burpees, so 7 more to get us to 100.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1) Octoburpee continues — grumbling as today’s workout “only benefitted @Focker” as he’s the only one participating, but didn’t we all benefit?
2) Game night at @Firefox’s house which already happened and was epic
3) BBQ at Tim’s with @Chunk’s brisket

Honor to lead you all! SYITG
