THE THANG:
On the half court line: 11’s
– Burpees – On Q
– Lunge walk to baseline
– Raise the Roof – In Cadence
– On last round – 10 Burpees OYO (instead of 1)
– And I messed up on round 5…counting 7 burpees instead of 6! I am NOT a professional…you get what you paid for.

Set 6 groups of 3 or 2 for….drumroll….deconstructed burpees!! Six stations:
– Squats
– Groiners
– Merkins
– Mountain Climbers
– Burpees
Burpee group perform 30 or 20 (depending if group is 3 or 2) burpees “birthday candle” style…aka everyone does 10 burpees in sequence. Upon completion, rotate. All other groups AMRAP until rotation. The catch….6 minutes to complete a full round! The result: 0:03 to spare!!! Nice work!!!

Prayers and comfort for Spinal Tap, who lost his dog over Christmas.
Lift up to the three HIMs who joined us (1 DR and two FNGs).
YHC requests prayers as I am in the midst of a challenging time. It sucks, yet I am finding comfort in being around y’all and am looking to God for resolution, peace, guidance.
