the latin root meaning “hard” makes up a few of our favorite words:

  2. Endurance-noun- the power to withstand an unpleasant or difficult situation w/o giving way
  3. Endure- verb- to remain in existence; last; to suffer patiently

Warm-O-Rama

WoR

  • Mission, 5CP, Disclaimer were all given
  • PAX picked “battle buddies” to push them when tempted to give in
  • *SSH x 43 for the virtuous leader who strives to lead 43 feet out front
    • YHC asked for uniform movement in strict cadence
    • 10 penalty merkins were given for missing the mark…
  • Imperial Walkers x 20
  • Count off

The Thang

Thang 1- Durability

PAX circled up for some good ole fashioned coupon work.

Shoulder shrugs in sets of 15, then change partners; repeato for 3 sets

Curls SLOW & Steady in cadence; repeato I can’t remember how many sets!

This lasted roughly 8 minutes

Thang 2- Endurance

YHC led PAX through an 18′ long jump-rope routine

  • 3 minutes of jumping, followed by 30 seconds rest
  • repeat for FIVE sets
  • hold plank during 30 seconds of rest

 

Thang 3- Endure

Some things in life simply must be endured. Bruce Lee abs is one of those things

  • Bruce Lee abs- a series of 6 ab exercises done back-to-back, then 30 seconds rest before running the whole set again. PAX completed TWO SETS
      • (15 reps of each exercise)
    • American Hammers (IC)
    • Leg raises (single count)
    • LBC IC
    • Heel touches IC
    • Crunchy frog (single count)
    • 100’s IC
  • 10 minutes of abs : )

Thang 4- a lil’ fun

Lastly, we ended w/ a little bit of fun. YHC brought out the gymnastic rings and we had a good ole fashioned pull-up contest.
