It was a lovely morning for some hard work. And, since it’s January, a lovely morning for Burpees. Alas, not everyone engenders YHC’s enthusiasm for them, so we had some options…
WARM-O-RAMA:
“Swimmers starter”
2 Burpees or 4 Merkins
Side shorter hops and cadence
2 Burpees or 4 Merkins
Head down to the grass for dancing bears and cadence
2 Burpees or 4 Merkins
Mountain climber’s
2 Burpees or 4 Merkins
High knee/butt kick areas
2 Burpees or 4 Merkins
At this point you have either done 10 Burpees or 20 Merkins!
THE THANG:
#1: THE TUNNEL OF LOVE:
Rupture the tunnel of love, it is said that a as I expect that the city will take down the decorations for Christmas as we had into 2026.
At the start line: 5 burpees, 5 rucked up maerkins or 10 ruckless merkins
Rifle carry to the 5th pole for 10 rucked bent over rows
Back to start for burpees or merkins
Rifle carry to the 9th pole for 15 rucked bent over rows
Back to start for burpees or merkins
Rifle carry to the 13th pole for 20 rucked bent over rows
Back to start for burpees or merkins
Rifle carry to the 17th pole for 25 rucked bent over rows
Now, you’ve got 20 more Burpees/Merkins, or even perhaps 50 merkins!
#2: NAUTICAL WHEELERS:
Simple sets, and a break from merkins/burpees
Skull crushers by Wheelers
Ruck to opposite side for ruck pull throughs in the grass
We rinsed and repeated
#3: CITY HALL- Fun Around the Block:
Timer set for 10 minutes, a la the New Year’s Day beatdown.
Your options: 3 Burpees or 5-6 Merkins.
Carry your ruck however you’d like (was lots of Farmer’s Carry) to the next corner.
Bitcoin led the way with ~6.5 complete labs.
YHC tackled 75 Burpees in this 10 minute jaunt!
All the Pax were sucking wind at this point, so we recovery Rucked down Pollock to E. Front. We stopped for some rucked up squats, and our chest/back/arms thanked us!
#4: LOVE OF TUNNEL:
One last movement through the tunnel before it’s taken down for the year…
“3 every 3”- every 3rd arch, 3 Burpees or 3 Merkins…bonus set at the end gets you to 21 reps!

Pickle pointers
OUT OF TIME!
We counted, named, and prayed.
Great to have you out there Ottoman!
Special prayers for Bitcoin in a new Mammon endeavor! Go crush it BC!
Love you fellas, mean it,
Pyro
