Today is World Wide UFO Day, which just begs for a workout theme. Here is what we did:
Warm-O-Rama was standard, and the sweat began. The Q fired up the speaker for our special edition Spacy Punk music playlist, and we got started.
Welcome to Area 51: 51 Reps OYO + Short Lap
Complete 51 reps of each exercise on your own, taking a short lap between each.
-
U – Upright Rows

Frog People From Planet O
Three rounds in cadence, 10 reps of each movement. 10 count.

F – Frog Squats
Hands on your bell, squat from a low bear crawl stance without moving forward. -
O – O, the Big
A lesser-known Mary exercise, on your back, legs together, make a big O, IC.
Finish with a long lap.
We repeat-O twice with 5 reps and laps, total of 20 of each.
The Space Flamingo That Fell to Earth
Look! One more UFO has been sighted!
-
U – Up-Downs
Chop your feet or do high knees. On call, drop to the ground and bounce back up. We did this round-robin style, twice, 12 times. -
F – Flamingo Merkins
Bend over and touch your toes. Walk your hands out to a plank with one leg raised. Perform a merkin, then walk back and switch legs for the next rep. Transcript seemed to really like these. 10 reps. -
O – Overhead Triceps Extensions. We call them Skull Crushers, but whatever. 10 reps.
Close it out with a long lap.
Extended Mary by committee to the sweet sounds of possibly the greatest UFO-themed song of all time, Subteranian Homesick Alien by Radiohead.
NMM:
Great effort by all earthlings present.
- Manscape is the definition of a quiet assassin, just knocking it out with no complaints.
- Bluto and Closer got their pre-ruck in and kept the conversation going. Waves of positivity come off those two at all times.
- Speaking of positivity, the Site Q rolled up with the shovel flag and his sunshine bazooka to get us going. Again, he REALLY liked the Flamingo Merkins.
- Have not seen Airbag in a while. He has pool drop-off duties in the mornings now (really, dropping his kids at the pool, not a euphemism). But he hasn’t lost a step from less regular posting.
- To no one’s surprise, AI was a conversation topic. Bring that energy to Zima’s TED Talk tonight.
Here is our playlist.
I want to point out that about 90% of those UFO or alien-themed jams live in my head and were added in a flurry. Just 2 or 3 were added after some keyword searches. Catch me in the mid-90s in my Man Or Astroman shirt buying records in Greensboro.
We did hear something overhead at one point. It was not identified, so you could say we had a real unidentified flying object.
Hope everyone puts their feet up, cracks a beverage of choice and watches an old school History Channel documentary on UFOs tonight. That is YHCs plan.
Transcript, I’ll beam the keys back to you later.
