YHC was actually planning a burpee-fest for this morning but upon reading a few comments on Slack, it appears that several PAX were clamoring for another trivia Q. YHC put out a poll and it was unanimous for trivia. So, trivia it is. Upon walking out the door this morning YHC thought about grabbing a scuba mask for the workout because of how ridiculously humid it was! Regardless, time to sweat!

Mosey south to the traffic circle. Bear crawl from the north side to the south side. Mosey to the city admin building garden for Dips x40. Mosey to the rear parking lot – Time for some trivia. YHC revealed the dice. Each PAX took a turn rolling the dice. The value on the dice indicated the reps for a correct answer, double the value for an incorrect answer. Any PAX could answer. Categories were Animals, Arts, History, Geography, Movies, Sports, Science or Random. Exercises included (in rotation) Iron Mikes, Merkins, Mountain Climbers and WWIIs. If any PAX rolled doubles of any value, the exercise was burpees. After each exercise the PAX ran a lap around the parking lot.

Among the many questions missed were:
Combined Atomic Numbers of Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen (Answer: 15)
Sequel Name and Author to Gone With the Wind (Answer: Scarlett, Alexandra Ripley)
Common mammal in Australia that looks like a duck, has a bill, and fur (Answered correctly: Duck-Billed Platypus)
Mediterranean Island that shares a name with a once-abundant fish (Answer: Sardinia)

Needless to say, there were many jokes and laughs to be shared! Mosey back for more Dips x25 and then lunge walk around other half of traffic circle before heading back to the AO.

Always fun to try something different. The trivia Q is a workout for the body and mind and good, and a good way to break the monotony. Be sure to challenge yourselves every day and also spend time with your families! Aye!
