Welp, that&#8217;s what happens in the new year&#8230;new stuff. We hit the stairs for a 10-minute ladder. Run to the top of the stairs for 20 Derkins, then down to the bottom towards the play ground for 26 Squats&#8230;and repeato until the Q calls time. The chatter was high; the oxygen was low.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Part 2: The &#8220;Triple-Double&#8221; Circuit<br \/><\/strong>We utilized the playground ecosystem for 15 minutes of rotation:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Table Talk: Dips and Incline Merkins<\/li>\r\n<li>Swing Set: Underdog Pull-ups and Calf Raises<\/li>\r\n<li>Track Burn: Sprinting the straightaways.<\/li>\r\n<li>Table Press: The Step-Over\u2014up over the table and down the other side.

Partner A ran a lap around the playground while Partner B hammered out AMRAP WWIIs, Monkey Humpers, and Smurf Jacks. The goal: 202 collective reps of all three exercises.<\/p>\r\n<h3><br \/>MARY<\/h3>\r\n<p>Made our way back to launch for Mary &#8211; which is, as we all know, near and dear to YHC&#8217;s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Mary by Committee with the only rule being that the exercises had to have 20 or 26 reps.
