Since we made it all the way through 24 exercises, it was time to give everyone their gift of:

25 Burpees

Some PAX were happy to receive the gift while one or two were not

Belding had a good recommendation that those unhappy with the gift receive 5 additional burpees.

Beatdown complete about 1 minute over.

Great effort by all PAX today and welcome to Vanilla Ice.
