The Boy Band playlist did not disappoint. I know there was one song that was debatable, but the main reason for throwing it in there was because it helps amplify the next true boy band song that comes on… It’s kind of like being at a concert and the band plays a song you don’t particularly love and then the next song is one of your all-time favorites. The buildup is worth it!
We circled up for a quick warm-up of side straddle hops and boy bands, in cadence of course.
Pax then divided up into groups of three to start at each of the three respective stations to split up the crowd. At the base of the wall, there were different squat exercises including box jump squats, step up squats, and side straddle squats (this was station 1). Pax then ran up the ramp to where the intersection of the stairs and the ramp where there were two different options of using medicine balls to toss up against the wall or using the medicine balls/kettle bells for BBSUs. Every time you went to a specific station, you did the opposite exercise than the first time. After station two was completed, Pax ran to the top of the ramp and alternated between Australian mountain climbers and pickle pointers. Station one went to station two, then went to station three… Station three went to station one and we continued in that pattern.
As Pax filed in to the base of the wall by the flag for COT, many assembled in the plank position. This gave Bevo an opportunity to finish the workout, executing the tunnel of love. This was fitting as the boy bands throughout the playlist today, were considered the heartthrobs of the 90s and 2000s.
Thank you to the 15 other HIM that joined me this morning. You should have FOMO from missing this one!
