Survive and Advance

A couple of weeks ago, I signed up to Q at Martha’s so that I would have extra motivation to get back in the gloom after the P200. At that point, my bracket was still perfect, and I had no idea what to expect from my Tar Heels after their collapse in the ACC tournament. Fast forward a couple of weeks, the P200 went great, and the Heels are still alive and looking strong. Since it is still basketball season in our household, the workout had to have a bracket challenge theme.

As with the NCAA tournament you must have the First Four as a warm-up…
SSH x 16
LBCs x 16
Merkins x 16
Imperial Walkers x 16

The Pledge

Mosey to the park with a stop at the building in between the baseball fields.

Now that we have the First Four out of the way, it’s time to do the real dancing. As with any dance, you need a partner, so partner up! Partner 1 runs to the end of the path between two of the baseball fields. Partner 2 does the following exercises. Once P1 gets back, flapjack and P2 does the running. The counts were 1-2-3-# instead of single counts to extend the fun.

Merkins x 64
Freddie Mercuries x 64
Squats x 64
LBCs x 64

Pete Chilcutt Planks until everyone is done

Mosey to the next round down to the shelter near the playground

Once again 1-2-3-# counts, not single counts.
Step ups x 32
Calf Raises x 32
Flutter Kicks x 32
American Hammers x 32

Mosey to the next round next to the restrooms

Congratulations on making it to the Sweet 16!
Hip slappers x 16
Bobby Hurley’s x 16 (Yeah, Duke DID make it to the Sweet 16 this year!)
Dips x 16
Derkins x 16

Mosey to the next round up through the parking lot

For the Elite Eight, we partnered back up.
Partner 1 ran to the other side of the parking lot while Partner 2 did 8-count Body Builders.
Each partner did 4 laps across the parking lot (that’s a total of 8 rounds)

Mosey back to Pelican’s for the FINAL FOUR!

Gentlemen, as always it was a pleasure to lead this morning. I tried to keep the workout as non-partisan as possible so as not to cause a mutiny. Great work by all! Go Heels!
