Warmarama Fingertip merkins We are not worthy Mamba night clubs Raise the roof

Moseyed down the stairs to find some nice walls and pillars for BTTW merkins (inverted military press) for 3 rounds of 5.

On the way to our destination, we joined Hoveround for one round of the EMOM (dips and knee raises).

Continued to mosey to the riverwalk. Then partnered up and did modified flat tires. One partner hold the feet and the other walks on their hands for 2 steps and then 1 derkin , the 4 steps and 2 derkins, etc until they have completed 10 steps and 5 derkins. Then switch partners. Those in the lead stopped at poles and benches, where they held plank until they 6 arrived and then everyone completed dips until the halfway point of the riverwalk.

Then one round of Flamingo merkins Bend at the waist, fingers touching your toes. Walk your hands out to a plank position while keeping one leg raised in the air. Perform a merkin, then walk your hands back, lowering your leg to the ground and touching your toes again. Stand upright and repeat the movement with the other leg.

Next we flipped and did modified empty wheelbarrows-same 2 to 1 ratio but with crab position wheelbarrows and dips with incline merkins at each bench.

Moseyed to the end of the riverwalk for a round of Floyd Mayweather planks- planks with a 4 count hook punch, alternating arms.

Stopped for some inverted shoulder taps on the way to the stairs and then performed a merkin on every other stair.

Made it back to the AO with a couple minutes to spare, so another round of merkins
