It being St. Patrick’d Day, we paid homage to the greatest thing to come out of Ireland, 90s Hip Hop House of Pain. We let the wizards inside amazon prime pick the playlist, and they did not disappoint with the House of Pain playlist. And of course, the inspiration for the beatdown was their most famous song, Jump Around.
Warm-O-Rama: Mosey on over to the bus parking lot for SSH, Weed Pickers, Windmills, Good Mornings, and Sun Gods. Then, we stared down the Bus entrance hill.
In honor of the date, we did 17s, with one exercise at the gate and another at the bottom of the hill adding up to 17 each time. The two jumping exercises were star jumps and cricket merkins.
Off we went, and not gonna lie, this was hard. The third lamppost on that hill is much further than YHC imagined. Cricket Merkins are also a lot harder than imagined. Star Jumps always suck. Quick modification was done in the middle so that when we hit 10 merkins we just ran to the second light post, and when we got to 5 we ran to the first one. After working that hard and dodging cars and buses coming in and out, we made it back to the flag with one minute to spare and we planked.
If you like 90s hip-hop and working hard and being sore for a few days…this was the one for you.
Praise for Pelosi’s friend who is up and walking after being on and off a ventilator. Great work was done by all. Wham-O Wednesdays will resume March 31st!
