If you read the pre-blast (http://f3nation.com/2015/08/02/pre-blast-crucible-360/) or Twitter prompts, you knew what was waiting for you this AM.  To be sure, YHC asked the 16 PAX who gathered if they’d red the pre-blast.  Many did not, so YHC explained the workout and demonstrated a few of the burpee exercises. With no FNG’s present, we circled up for the first running of the Crucible 360.  The workout was purposely designed for simplicity

Warm-up:  SSH x20, Imperial Walkers x20, Mosey to starting point on the loop.

Burpee Buster (5 burpee types – 6 reps each = 30 burpees)

  • Standard Burpee
  • Jump Knee Tuck Burpee
  • Hand Release Burpee
  • Prison Cell Merkin Burpee #crowdpleaser
  • Ski Ab Burpees (Right-Left = 1)

Start with Burpee Buster then run the loop (1/4 mile) and repeat until time called at 615.  PAX gather for 15 min of Mary.

Mary – this may not be the complete list but is the best that I recall (after all, we had 15 min)

  • LBC’s x30
  • WWII Situps x20
  • Plankorama (10 counts around the circle) – Plank Hold, Chilcutt, Right Arm up/Right Leg up, Left Arm Up/Left leg up, Plank, Low Plank Hold)
  • In and Outs x15
  • Crunchy Frog x15
  • Low Slow Flutter x15
  • Freddy Mercury x15
  • Heels to Heaven x15
  • Box Cutters x30 (reversed direction halfway)
  • Dying Cockroach x15
  • American Hammers x15
