Count It Out
3 minElectronic
Slow burn. 374 moves a minute, peaking at 400 units a second.
A drill instructor barks and a whole squad shouts it back. Five sets with a rest between each, then one last set that does not let up.
Lyrics
Intro
Line up. Eyes front. Hands ready.
Whistle goes. Set one.
Set One
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! (Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!)
Grip! Hold! Grip! Hold! (Grip! Hold! Grip! Hold!)
Squeeze it, squeeze it, tighter, tighter
Hold... hold... hold... rest.
Rest One
Water. Breathe. Wipe your face.
Still... still... nobody moves.
Set Two
Flick! Flick! Flick! Flick! (Flick! Flick! Flick! Flick!)
Pat, pat, pat, pat, keep it on the line
Quick! Quicker! Tap, tap, tap, tap!
Freeze.
Rest Two
Ten seconds. Shake it out. Shake, shake, shake.
Hold... rest...
Set Three
Up! (Up!) Down! (Down!) Up! (Up!) Down! (Down!)
Climb, climb, climb, higher, hold it at the top!
Sink! Lower! Deeper! Hold!
Halfway... hold... wait...
Set Four
Circle! Circle! Circle! Circle! (Circle! Circle! Circle! Circle!)
Rub it out, swirl it, twist it, hold!
Buzz! Buzz! Shake! Shake! Nobody's finished yet!
Freeze. Look at me.
Last Set
Last one. Give me everything you have.
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! (Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!)
All the way up! All the way down! Faster!
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Harder! (Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!)
All the way up! All the way down! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!
Hold. Hold. Release.
Cool Down
Hands on your knees. Long breath in.
Slow... slower... easing... rest.
Still... hold... stop.
Squad. Dismissed.
