Deconstructing and modifying the Cannoli Flame

The Cannoli Flame is an accountability workout I created for myself years ago: Run a mile, then do 10 burpees, 20 LBCs, 30 merkins, 40 squats and 50 flutter kicks. Repeat the run and the exercises four times. For a fun Saturday at Bedrock, I had the PAX deconstruct the Cannoli Flame by running to pre-placed cones throughout the park where the exercises were performed. We also got blocks and started with 20 curls for Milton’s wife. Here’s how the rest went:

Run to first cone: Instead of burpees, we did 10 overhead press with the Beast.

Run to second cone: 20 LBCs

Run to third cone: 30 merkins

Run to fourth cone: 40 squats

Run to fifth cone: 50 flutter kicks

Then go back down the ladder by running back to the cones in order, and finally the blocks and curls. Repeat until time is called. The Wescott Park is a deceptively large space. I logged nearly four miles during the workout and most others were clustered around that number.
