Gates to Regrexit? The Daily Workout

It appears that we have moved from the world of the "-Gate" to other strange words. This whole thing started with the 1972 burglary at the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate Complex in DC. It made sense to call it "Watergate" then, that is where the crime actually took place! But, that led to everything that was controversial taking on the "-Gate" suffix.... to sports fans the most annoying being "DeflateGate". With the British exit from the European Union, it became the "Brexit". And now that there has been a referendum calling for the United Kingdom to pull out of the EU and the consequences are becoming more clear, there are millions of people signing petitions to call for another referendum vote... they are actually calling it "Regrexit". Wow.

Warm-Up: Perform each exercise in order for one minute each to complete a round. Three rounds total. No rest between exercises.
