Well, it depends. Aside from the entire group emotionally attacking you... If it was a regular Disco Group happening on campus, then the result of having a "bad attitude" (just like the result of being "dirty") would be 2-4. I don't know if I've explained 2-4 yet: when you were on 2-4, you would not go to classes or Sports or any of the regularly scheduled Disco Groups or school meetings or any other activities. Days on 2-4 would start by being woken up early for an early-morning disciplinary workout (5:30). You were not allowed to speak on 2-4, except to answer a proctor or sometimes to have your own little 2-4 Disco Group. If you got caught talking or attempting communication, you got push-ups. The day would be spent silently doing activities like raking leaves or digging giant holes. A lot of the time, when you were done raking, the proctors would come mess up the piles of leaves so you had to do it all over again, or have you fill up the holes so you could re-dig them. Fun stuff like that. The whole time, of course, in silence. When you weren't doing stuff like that, you were sitting, spaced out, on the bleachers in silence; sometimes, depending on who was proctoring, you could get away with journaling during this time, but that was it. and, of course, a proctor could ask to read your journal at any time. The bleachers faced a fairly big sign with words like Integrity and Humility, and the Ethics (brother's keeper, no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes/tobacco, no sex, no lying, no stealing, no gambling; I'm probably forgetting some, but that's all I can recall at the moment). You weren't allowed to eat meals with the rest of the school on 2-4, either. Instead, PB+J sandwhiches and stuff like that would be brought to you to eat on the bleachers, or you would have to go get it, and bring it back to the bleachers.
If it was during an outpost, then the whole group would probably get a workout.

Define workout with appropriate examples, also attempt to explain the logic behind such an excercise as reported by staff.

You could be confronted about your "bad attitude." Sometimes the focus of the Seminar/Discovery Group could switch! ...onto YOU! The trick was to find some middle ground, where you participated at least as much as the least participating person, but less than the real gungho brown-nosers were.
There could also be a problem if you participated too much, although that was rare. There could be such a circumstance where someone tried to buy into the Program with all their heart and participation, but someone on the Staff did not like them, and would confront them about their phoniness. And then kids who had been previously eviscerated by said sycophant would jump into the confronting fest with great gusto.

L O G I C ? Oh my...
I think having to do pushups or other calisthenics (e.g., jumping jacks or situps, but pushups were usually the choice du jour) as punishment for attitude issues has its origins in the military, but I could be wrong. Often this was an immediate remedy for a relatively minor transgression. There is currently a clip on YouTube shot by a former Hyde student detailing a few minutes in Algebra class where the instructor is inexplicably absent, and in which a student suddenly drops to the floor and starts doing pushups. This is, undoubtedly, such a situation. Said student probably used foul language or insulted someone inappropriately, and another student called them on it and hence the first student had to do pushups.
5:30 workouts and 2/4 (known as workcrew in during my time) are different.

You need to turn the volume way up for the body of this piece (opening and closing credits excepted).
