“You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky’?”

Flip a coin to decide whether you are doing high or low reps for each exercise.
Flip for each exercise individually.

Heads high. Tails low.

Run (1600/800)
KB Swings (50/30)
Pull-ups (50/30)
Box Jumps (50/30)
Thrusters (50/30)
Walking Lunges (50/30)
Double Unders (50/30)
Sit-Ups (100/50)
Push-Ups (100/50)

and finally….Burpees (50/0)

Who will dare double or nothing on burpees?

If anyone happens to see a hipster wearing a neon green spandex outfit with red and yellow shoes aimlessly riding his bike around town tell him I have his glasses……and a pull-up bar with his name on it.
