IMG_8886🌧️ Rain or shine, we had a killer workout today! 🌦️

**CONDITIONS:** The rain was pouring at a 100% chance, and the temperature held steady at a comfortable 72 degrees.

**WARM-UP:**
– We knocked out 10 Jumping Jacks.
– Followed by 10 Windmills.
– We did 20 Arm Circles Forward.
– And then 20 Arm Circles Backward.
– 20 Moroccan Night Clubs were next.
– Finally, we powered through 4 sets of 4×4’s (Burpees that began with a burpee, followed by 4 Merkins and 4 Mountain Climbers in plank position.)

**THE THANG:**

**7 of Diamonds:**
Cones were set up in a diamond formation. In the first round, we completed 7 burpees at each of the 4 corners and hustled between them. For each subsequent round, we added 7 reps and switched to a different exercise. Round 2: 14 four-count flutter kicks at each corner. Round 3: 21 merkins at each corner. Round 4: 28 squats at each corner. What goes up had to come down, and we finished up with 7 burpees. 💪🏃‍♂️

**Dan Taylor:**
We tackled this punishing leg exercise. Named after Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, it combines 1 squat followed by 4 lunges (alternating legs) in ascending order (maintaining the 1:4 ratio). It left the PAX feeling like “they ain’t got no legs.”

**Iron Hulk:**
Essentially, we performed Jack Webbs with a 1:4 ratio of merkins to air press. Our shoulders and chest felt pumped up like Hulk, but the air started feeling as heavy as Iron Man’s suit.

After finishing up the Iron Hulk, we moseyed to the pull-up bars for 3 rounds of: 5 pull-ups and 10 Merkins.

We wrapped up with 5 minutes of Mary, with each Pax calling an ab exercise.

💪🏋️‍♂️ Who said a little rain can stop us? #FitnessGoals #WorkoutMotivation
