As part of this morning’s 2nd Annual Chatham Takeover of all Friday morning Churham AOs, I signed up to lead the good PAX of #westend because, at #61minutes, I knew they were 33% stronger than all the other Friday AOs. We ran through a routine similar to what I had just conducted at #thebighouse two days prior, inspired by the trailer for the new Top Gun movie which was released last week: a Top Gun/80s Movie Music theme.
Warm Up
- SSH x20 IC
- High Knees x20 IC
- Good Mornings x10 IC
- WMH x10 IC

The Thang
Mosey over to the parking lot behind Tom Robinson’s for the first set of exercises, spelling out MAVERICK.

- Ass Kickers x25 IC
- V Ups X25
- Elbow-2-Knee (oblique crunch) x25 Each side
- Ring of Fire Merkin x10 each
- Iron Mikes x25 IC
- Crab Walk backward to one end of parking lot and forward back to the starting point (~75 ft each way)
- Kraken Burpee (hand release merkin at bottom, “release the kraken”) x10
Mosey back to the AO for the second set of Exercises, spelling out GOOSE.
- Gorilla Humpers x25 IC (an even bigger crowd pleaser than monkey humpers)
- Overhead Claps x25 IC
- Obamas (4 count bear crawl, 4 merkins, for our 44th president) across the parking lot, ~6 rounds
- Sumo Squat x25 IC
- Escalator of Your Choosing. PAX chose 10 burpees, 20 WWIIs (plus 10 burpees), 30 Squats (plus 22 WWIIs plus 10 burpees, 40 LBCs (plus 30 squats plus 20 WWIIs plus 10 burpees, 50 SSH IC (plus 40 LBCs plus 30 squats plus 20 WWIIs plus 10 burpees)
Finally, it was time to break out the speaker for 80s Movie Theme Song Trivia! PAX performed SSHs or Squats while listening to songs. PAX to name 1) song title, 2) artist, 3) movie. For each one they got wrong it was 10 counts of a merkin variation. PAX also had to guess year of movie release and for every year they were off it was 2 Burpees. This went on for about 8 songs.

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 Friday. Until next time, Aye!
