Ten PAX posted for a Christmas inspired beatdown on a sunny cool morning. Quick disclaimer was given and we were off. Mosey around the dog park and tennis court and back to the court for a quick warmup. All exercises were done IC:
Baby Arm Circles Forward X 10
Baby Arm Circles Reverse X 10
Frankensteins X 10
Cotton Pickers X 10
Cotton pickers was called but YHC started doing windmills on the first rep. Quick reset.
New warmup exercise was called and 10 reps were performed of the following sequence:
Inchworm to plank, perform one merkin, two shoulder taps (one per arm), reverse inch worm to standing position finishing up with one squat. Repeat.

12 Rounds of Rochamburpees
All PAX pair up for 12 rounds of Rochambeau while in plank. Loser of first round performs one burpee while winner performs one merkin. Each following round adds one more merkin and one more burpee. If PAX tie, then both perform merkins.
