I never said I was going to be nice. And sometimes that means a Level 3 when you expect Level 2. I admit it. It was a throw down. And everyone did a great job rolling with the punches. Class consisted of all the exercises having high heart rate potential, and everyone definitely felt it. At one point everyone was over 94%. If class had been full the Margarita Challenge would have been met. But it was good practice for next time;-)
The Mystery Event was not a heart rate incentive game for a change. A time based game of Hard and Fast was our closeout event. We played for 7.5 minutes with 45 seconds on Flying Chickens and 30 seconds off with Front Planks. Ouch.
For all you self motivated folks out there here is what we did just in case you want to re-create this monster on your own:
Watch out with the heavy rope. Face plant potential.
The step swing definitely put the zap on people psyche. Just remember that it's feet apart when the kettlebell comes down!
The turtle burpee was a new hybrid. If we could get everyone to keep from stopping on that one, as well as the box jump, then we'd be getting somewhere. Don't stop and take a picture after every rep. You're not a tourist.
The frogger burpee is definitely a new favorite of mine. And just like the video game, you need to keep moving or you'll get squished!
All in all it was a great class, and everyone tolerated my ranting about warming up with great patience. But they were a bit of a captive audience. . .
See you next time.
