While I’m sure many of you were aware that burpees were the type of animal meant for the ark loader, you probably didn’t know that there were many different kinds of beasts. There’s the burner beast. There’s the “make you want to cry” beast of beasts. Then there’s the recovery beast. A kinder, gentler beast. It lulls it’s participants into a sense of comfort and ease. That is.. until you realize you’ve done 108 merkins and your arms are about to fall off… with 75% of today’s PAX having completed the Tough Mudder this weekend, we all fell prey, once again, to the beast.
Warm-up: yog, a very disjointed (and disgruntled *cough*FLOYD*cough*) SSH, little baby forward and backward arm circles, stretching
