Introduction
I couldn’t find my speaker so today’s workout would carry the call of cadence through the land of Iron Lion…Was great to see 19 HIM’s make it on a Monday today.
Warm-O-Rama
5 Core Principles, Mission Statement…
SSH
Tie Fighters
Tappy Taps
Capri Lap
The Thang
Thang #1 Paratroopers (NEW!)
In circle, PAX hold high plank on their coupon. PAX do Merkins on Q’s up. When Q calls HOLD, PAX hold high plank until Q calls DECLINE. Thus beginning a 10 second decline back down to earth AKA chest slowly lowering back down to the coupon. Sets of 25, 15, and 5.
Thang #2 BOMBS
Burpees
OH Press
Mogadishu Curls (Made up…Curls on your knees)
BigBoy Situps
Southern Style Lawnmowers (Slow, deliberate lawnmowers)
*We did super sets of 10 reps, 20 reps, and then 10 reps of each exercise above with forms of crawls after each super set. Bear Crawls, Army Crawls, and Crab Walks.
Thang #3 Medicine Ball Race (Mary)
PAX line up in teams of 10 and did medicine ball races. Toss medicine ball up and down a line of coupons for time. Team 2 won 3 straight. We finished with some Curl Ring of Fire with Cusak Carries involved.
Circle of Trust
I shared with the PAX how I’m in the process of a move and a lot is going on. How I was talking to my mom about all this shit and all this change involved with the move which is exciting yet stressful. Losing stuff, things are out of place, in transition, etc.
Then I asked my mom, who will turn 80 this year, how her day was and she said, “today I had the most delicious glass of lemonade.”
That was it.
I didn’t understand it. Here I was talking about a busy life and there my mom was talking about a simple life. In a way it seemed we both wanted to trade places for a minute.
On that note, find gratitude in where you are. If you feel busy, look for something simple to enjoy. If you feel not busy enough, find something to go do. But I think most of all, find joy in whatever it is you’re doing.
Prayers.
Naked Man Moleskin
Shout out to Sputnik who has been carrying 4 of my coupons around since July 2nd convergence! He also entered 129 names into our PAX Tracker for that event. It’s the little things that make this region what it is fellas.
