For some reason, as YHC was crawling-bearing and Redrum-bunnying several weeks ago, I decided a backwards/reverse/opposite beatdown would be a good idea…
Warmarama – in reverse
(Ended with SSH).
First thing: wanted to try to figure out what the opposite of an Indian Run would be. After toying around with the idea of nurring, YHC decided we’ve had enough injuries lately and scrapped that.
Instead I came up with this :
The man in front sprints forward, far enough to do some exercises before PAX catches up, then he falls to the rear of line. Then next man in front goes.
Just as I was working this out, I got word that my buddy had been elected Deputy Premier of South Australia, so I thought Aboriginal Run seemed appropriate as both the opposite of Indian Run and to celebrate Ky’s new position and heritage.
Aboriginal Run: (put it in the Exicon when we add Mermans) man in front sprints forward, far enough to do 5 merkins before PAX catches up, then he falls to the rear of line. Then next man in front goes
Round 2: same thing but with 2 burpees instead of the 5 merkins
During this, we were treated to the authentic Australian sounds of “Solid Rock” by Goanna, complete with didgeridoo. This was appreciated by no one.
Next:
Partner up for
3-2-1 Dora:
300 Backward lunges (1:1) MOT NUR
200 Negative curls MOT CRAWLBEAR
100 Tempo merkins MOT REDRUM BUNNIES
The worst part of this Dora was whatever you happened to be doing at the time.
One more thing:
Keeping with the backward theme, YHC decided to treat all the country music lovers among us with one of their favorites:
While the absolute gem of a song by Rascal Flats, “Backwards” was played, we did calf raises, with a burpee on every “back.”
And if you haven’t heard this song, do give it a listen… I understand it’s highly recommended as top-tier art among the country music community.
COT and Honeysuckle prayed us out.
SYITG,
