PAX: Al Gore, Boo Boo, Bozo (QIC), Buckets, Dr. Freud, Heisenberg, HHH, Krusty, Lights Out, Mr. Incredible, Peyton, and Trader Joe
12 PAX embraced the Christmas spirit, and their ugly Christmas sweater, in the morning gloom at The Hub. Here is what we did:
Merry Christmas
Each PAX was given a “gift.” At any point in the beatdown, a PAX could yell Merry Christmas and he would open up his gift. We would then proceed to complete the exercise noted. Below were the exercise options. Most done in cadence; some OYO civilian count. We only used 12 of the 25 gifts I made, so I guess those remaining 13 in my backpocket for a future beatdown ; )
WWIs, WWIIs, American Hammers, Low-Flutter Kicks, Jump Squats, LBCs, Navy Seal Burpees (these sucked), 60-second plank, Diamond Merkins, Hand-Release Merkins, Standing Alternate Lunges, Squats, SSHs, Merkins, Burpees, Mountain Climbers, Wide-Arm Merkins, Plank Jacks, Freddy Mercury’s, Monkey Humpers, Alabama Prom Dates.

Until Next Time,
