March Madness Monster Mash

March Madness Monster Mash – M4 - (SEAL speak for so hard BUT fun workouts) – the economy is in the tank, the weather is at extremes (for some that’s good – think snow! for others, that sucks) and March Madness is about to tip off – sounds like a great time for a new workout routine.

Here’s the deal, get your Perfect Pushups, kneepad or towel, and water positioned in front of your TV – clear a path to your Perfect Pullup - bring over only your truest friends – have them sign a release from liability form so they can't sue you after they realize they can’t move the next day! Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little here, but having a little peer pressure always makes a Monster Mash workout more fun (and yes, makes you more sore!)…here’s how the M4 workout goes: dial in your favorite b-ball game and pick a team – each time they score a basket you do same number of pushups per points – every free throw is a pullup. Simple right?

Now – how many games can you play – that’s the question?! Here’s an example – Duke vs. UNC – you’ve got a total of 4 guys in the room – 2 match Duke – 2 match UNC – the real game is not who beats who on the court, it’s who completed the most pushup and pullups – now start to fillout brackets for each game, using the same teams, then tally up the total number of pushups and pullups performed - bet what you want – beer – dollars – apples – don’t care what it is, but make it meaningful enough to want to earn the bragging rights of winning your first annual MARCH MADNESS MONSTER MASH!

BTW – you don’t have to stick with one pushup or pullup per point – strong teams can collect more points doing more pushups and pullups just don’t burn yourself out, you never know how well your teams just might score!

HOOYAH AND CHARLIE MIKE - ALDEN
