The hype was REAL leading up to this morning’s workout. With a little “cross country sisterly hype” that found our own JKeys hyping Jooooorrrrgggeee and the San Fran tribe to get their asses to the workout, and #NPSF’s own Weston “Macho Man” McBride shouting out to NP_IND and James Laker that excuses will be met with a body slam from the top rope, the tribe was bouncing before we even started…bouncing. Speaking of, as much as I love Randy Savage, and I do, nobody hyped me like the Nature Boy, so naturally (see what I did there?) Ric Flair inspired the bounce this morning, and after a few WHOOOOs, the bell rung.
The Main Event:
Put on your poker face as teams of 5 had to build the best poker hand possible by earning cards. Teams completed a total of any of these workouts to earn cards:
- 100 Burpees
- 10 Up-and-overs
- 150 Tricep Dips
- 150 Leg Raises
- 100 Low-Five Push Ups
These could be split up, done as a team, however they want to slice it…but once five cards were earned it was then time to start drawing and discarding to build the hand. And what was the rake for the best hand once all antes were in? Well, breakfast of course!!

The Undercard:
Great pop-up workout/social event on Saturday in Broad Ripple. Thanks to Ed and Blue Mile for the launch spot and the discounted gear and thanks to everybody who came and socialized and just made our Saturday amazing. Next social event will hopefully be in November and involve a screening of the November Project documentary. Trailer HERE…have tissues handy.
