Q: Murph

Pax: Volunteer (RESPECT).

The thing: TOTAL stretching (42min 50 sec). Three ten-minute rounds. 50 seconds stretch with 10 sec in between. Complete one minute of cardio (running or jumping jacks) at the end of each round. (some exercises were only 25 sec. Holds on each side - marked with a **).

The workout is 48 minutes if you want to do all the stretching.
