Before the workout, we listened to Prince. Because why not??

Warm up:

  • 30 Side Straddle Hops in cadence
  • 12 merkins in cadence
  • 20 weed pickers
  • 20 imperial walkers
  • 20 Hillbillies to make up for sloppy Imperial Walkers that Jumbo notified me about

We then moseyed over to the tennis courts with our coupons and did a mini shuttle run for a bit.

The Thang:

Partner exercise! Yay! This was a DISCO workout with (mostly) disco music.

One partner used their coupon in a DISCO exercise while the other partner did a special new workout (John Travolta) from one side of the tennis court to the other. Think side lunge while pointing to the sky.

Studio 54 was huge during the 70s disco era and crashed out about as quickly as the height of disco.

54*3 = 150 according to my math; 150 of each exercise

Naked Man Moleskin:

  • It is incredibly hard to find good disco songs under 4 minutes long.
  • John Travolta is one of the greatest dancers I’ve ever seen on film.
  • “Bad Girls” by Donna Summer is my pick for the greatest disco album ever recorded — check it out
