Now I'm having flashbacks to morning PT: "8 Count Bodybuilders is an 8 count exercise. I will count the cadence, you will count the repetitions. We will do forty of them! You are in the starting position. Red-Dey! Exercise!" |

As in raining from the ceiling from sweat.... Company Commander would come out and yell with a demonic voice. Make it rain boys, make it rain... OK, I'm in. But I'm a couple days late so I guess I have to do 120 today... /gulp |

I still have nightmares from my first day in the Academy when my Drill Instructor was screaming his head off at me. We did 6 count body builders but it went the exact same way. I told myself I would never do another burpee again but this seems like a great challenge so count me IN! |
