Introduction

Super pumped up for the cold crisp weather and some football on a Monday morning….  Arrived at 4:45am to get things set up…. Holy shit it was dark out in the large field at the Ridge.  Had some heavy metal jamming which was awesome.  Got out to the field and set up some large LED lights for 4 corners of the makeshift football field.  Was a bit unsure how the morning was going to go but it rocked!

Warm-O-Rama

Mosey to football field

21 Side Straddle Hops

21 High Knees

15 Arm Circles- Front

15 Arm Circles- Back

The Thang

Extreme Football in the pitch black!.  Red vs Blue with a glow in the dark football and LED wristbands to correspond with your team color..

Every drop was merkins/burpees/big boy or high knees.  Whatever one I didn’t want to do at the time is what we did.

Every TD was 20 Side Straddle Hops- OYO

We did this routing for about 33 minutes before we ended with 2 hard sprints then back to the flags

Circle of Trust

Types of Motivation:

  1. EXTRINSIC: COMES FROM OUTSIDE OF US.  BEING TOLD TO DO SOMETHING
  2. INTRINSIC: DONE FOR INTERNAL REASONS.  INTERNAL FIRE
  3. INTROJECTED: DONE FOR INTERNAL REASONS.  IF YOU DO NOT DO SOMETHING, A FEELING OF GUILT TAKES PLACE.  DISCUSSED THIS IS MY TYPE OF MOTIVATION WITH F3.
  4. IDENTIFIED: SOMEONE KNOWS SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE BUT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT

Gave a few personal examples of what motivates me in my personal life and ended with:

ONE DAY or DAY ONE…..-YOU DECIDE

Naked Man Moleskin

Day started off brutal when Disco Ball and another PAX collided in the dark merky gloom…. Whew… Glad Disco is OK…. Had me scared…

One point that I am seeing a lot of…. PAX cutting corners on number of reps…. If the Q calls out 20 reps, do 20 reps…. Not 7… If you need to modify, modify….. PLEASE DO NOT CUT CORNERS….  It helps no one…
