The Price was Right at the Mad Scientist

YHC was inspired by T-Bone's trivia workouts to do some game show themed workouts, and what better place for them than the Mad Scientist. It's nice to break up the standard grind with a little bit of added fun. Spring break seems to be lowering the PAX count across the region, as is to be expected, but 8 men who are all unlucky enough to not be on vacation posted for some pain. 

The Thang: 

YHC pulled a number of products out of the weekly Target sales ad, with prices ranging from $6.99 to $49.99. The PAX were split into team A and team B. YHC printed a picture of each product, with a description, an A exercise, B exercise, and the price on the back. Following the Price is Right style, each team tried to get as close to the price without going over.  Which ever team got the closest would dictate what exercise we would do. For every dollar the PAX went over (up to 10), a burpee penalty was added to the end of the exercise. All exercises were 4 count, and all the guessing was done in the plank position to keep peoples guessing quick.

Great time this morning, the Price is Right theme I think was fun for everyone. I have some more ideas for future game show themed Qs. I enjoyed the challange of the weight vest, even with a little bit of chaffing. 

Scrappy as usual led the pack on the runs. He is equally fast on his burpees as well. 

Forest is a running beast, everyone else is sucking wind while his heart rate drops down to resting levels no matter how far we go. 

Jenny, great to see you out, let's meet up in the neighborhood for a groundhog hunt one of these days. 

El Chapo and Burner, I believe I have met you two before, thanks for coming out and great effort!

Paul Bunyon was quick to volunteer to buddy carry me with my 30lb vest on. 

Frogger crushed it today, always great to see you, thanks for supporting my Qs.
