Introduction
Blame Boucher for this one. While looking up the Twinkle Toes exercise I stumbled upon The Cooper and then The Sheldon Cooper. Since I enjoy the Big Bang Theory TV show some I thought it would be good to try. I was a bit ambitious for the venue.
Warm-O-Rama
Stretch at your own pace for the exercises given: Burpees, Merkins, Squats and BBSUs with a run.
The Thang
1 lap around the 1/2 mile track.
10 burpees
10 Squats
10 Merkins
10 BBSU
1 lap around the 1/2 mile track.
9 burpees
9 Squats
9 Merkins
9 BBSU
…
down to 1 of each.
Circle of Trust
Count it down and keep pushing even if you know you won’t finish. The lap was long for this routine but it is still worth pushing to see how far you can go. Even Boucher didn’t finish (he got to 2). At the end, most of us finished out with the remainder of the exercises sans laps (there was only 3 minutes left). Strong finish guys!
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC commends Mayhem for modifying excellently. He didn’t feel like he could do the full 1/2 mile run in between so he stopped at 1/4lap intervals to do them and finished each lap like that.
