The Workout

The Pax completed a fartlek run (Swedish for “speed play” and refers to periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slow running in a continuous interval) along Science Drive from home base to the amphitheater, alternating speed with every light pole.

The Pax completed a pyramid down the grassy steps of the amphitheater:

Step 1 = 5 eight-count bodybuilders

Step 2 = 5 bodybuilders, 10 spiderman merkins

Step 3 = 5 bodybuilders, 10 spidermans, 15 sassy planks (these failed miserably and were immediately abandoned)

Step 4 = 5 bodybuilders, 10 spidermans, 15 dips, 20 single-leg squat (10 reps per leg)

Step 5 = 5 bodybuilders, 10 spidermans, 15 dips, 20 single leg squat, 25 side shuffle hops

Step 6 = 5 bodybuilders, 10 spidermans, 15 dips, 20 single leg squat, 25  SSHs, 30 box jumps

The Pax traveled around the ampitheater’s bottom via: bear crawl + crab walk (alternate every light pole), gorilla walk, crawl bear + reverse crab walk (alternate every light pole).

To return to street level, the Pax completed 20 Johnny Dramas on the steps before bunny hopping up all the steps.

The Pax returned to home base with a Ricky Bobby style run.
