Football Themed workout

  1. Mosey to track and do an Indian run for two laps around the track with football. Football was laterally passed to each PAX until the last person runs to front of the line with the ball to repeat.
  2. Line up on the end zone to begin the game. Ponce predicted a Superbowl final score of TB 35, KC 32 so we did the following on the goal line:
    35 Merkins
    32 Squats
  3. Picked a QB and a Receiver. From the goal line, the receiver will run a 10-15 yd route and try to catch the ball. All PAX hold plank during execution of route – 7 burpees for incomplete pass. Receiver becomes QB and repeat with next/new Receiver.
    Everyone bear crawls to the 20 yd line.
  4. Repeat with next two QBs and Receivers. PAX hold plank – 7 burpees for incomplete.
    Everyone crawl bear back to the goal line.
  5. Repeat with next two QBs and Receivers. PAX hold plank – 7 burpees for incomplete.
    Everyone karaokees to the 20 yd line and reverse lead continuing to the 40 yd line.
  6. Halftime – run up/down bleachers and do 14 dips before returning to the field.
  7. Repeat with next two QBs and Receivers. PAX hold plank – 7 burpees for incomplete.
    Everyone lunges to the 20 yd line.
  8. Repeat with next two QBs and Receivers. PAX hold plank – 7 burpees for incomplete.
    Everyone lunges to the goal line.
  9. Repeated above until time.

We quickly realized we were going to do a LOT of burpees…so somewhere maybe midway through we switched to squats when the ball was not caught. As Milkman mentioned in a slack post afterwards, it’s evident we are not going to be super bowl champs. The lit football was a big help to see in the falsely lit stadium lights…when the ball would stay lit :-). Overall it seemed to be a fun workout and will have to bring it back out for a future Q. Really appreciated all the fellowship this morning.
