After 33 long years, the trailer for the new Top Gun movie was released last week and YHC, for one, is stoked to finally see Maverick back in the saddle. Therefore, this morning’s workout had a Top Gun/80s Movie Music theme to it.

Ricky Bobby back to the AO for the second set of exercises, spelling out GOOSE

Finally, it was time to break out the speaker for 80s Movie Theme Song Trivia! PAX performed SSHs while listening to songs. PAX to name 1) song title, 2) artist, 3) movie. For each one they got wrong it was 5 counts of an exercise (alternating merkins or squats). PAX also had to guess year of movie release and for every year they were off it was 1 Burpee. This went on for about 10 songs. Petri carried the group on his back and YHC was disappointed there weren’t more merkins/squats/burpees to be done.
Mary
Enjoyed the music trivia too much, no time for Mary.

COT
We all get busy with life and have lots of responsibilities with work, family, social engagements, etc. that can add pressure and stress on our lives. Hopefully this morning’s flashback to some fun 80s movies and music provided a little brevity that PAX can carry with them into their day. Until next time, Aye!
