Preamble:
If you are wondering what my mind does to cobble together a BD theme, it really just takes a random comment like asking for electrician advice and the stage is set to build a beatdown around it and set Fanny Pack up for the puns. Unfortunately, power was out at a few people's houses or for their alarm clock specifically so they were a no-show.Warm-O-Rama:
We were going to have a lot of movement in the bd so stay in the lot for the usuals.The Thang:
Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction --- The beatdown is based on AC-DC. NO, not the Thunderstruck guys. The actual flow of current. Pax have a choice at the start of each exercise:- Alternate Current - Bear Crawl around to second, then Crab Walk home (You know, alternating the movement)
- Direct Current - A run around the full field.
- If you choose AC then you have to recharge by doing just 20 reps of the exercise.
- If you choose DC you must do 40 reps
- Maximum of 2 in a row for either of the choices.
- Exercises included:
- Mercans
- Squats
- LBCs
- SSH
- Step Ups
- Skull Crushers (where I almost actually crushed my own skull)
- Flutters
- Burpees
- Diamond Mercans
- Gore Curls (Squat with a Curl - the hottest new exercise in the Alpha)
- Some others we may or may not have gotten to
- That is easier to type up than to explain in person apparently but pax eventually caught on and there was a lot of movement and minimal complaints of the music so we will call it a beatdown.
