6 men gathered at NBHS in swell conditions for The Bear. Since it is March Madness time, YHC stressed that the ACC had a record of 9 teams make the field of 64 but only 5 teams remained after round one. No thanks to our snotty rivals to the north who spit the bit against UMBC. No FNGs so we jumped into….

The Thang – March Madness miler
Since it is March Madness, YHC instructed the group to run one 1/4 mile lap (Pax stayed in a close knit group for each lap) and after every lap the Pax did exercises that spelled out MARCH. The first lap exercise was 25 Merkins, For each additional lap YHC adds another exercise and decreased the reps by 5,
Lap one – 25 Merkins
Lap two – 20 Merkins, 20 Air squared (hold peoples chairs position while doing overhead claps)
lap Three – 15 merkins, 15 Air squared, 15 russian twists,
Lap four – All exercises x 10 adding chilly jacks
Lap 5 – All above exercises x 5 plus 5 hand release burpees
The Pax headed to the covered area for a little lazy Dora 1….2….3…. Partner up, do a combined 50 dips, 75 WWI’s, 150 squats. partner A would do said exercise, while Partner B held peoples chair against wall with over head claps. Partner B could switch to planking since leg burning increased once the squats hit.
We then had just enough time to run through an Indian bear crawl with one merkin after each man completed his Bear crawl.
