Introduction

Will be a golf inspired workout to get some of those golf muscles firing and activated ahead of next week’s big golf outing.  Make no mistake, this will not be a light workout…

Got to the AO early to set up shop, it had started raining a little, this was going to make the activities in the turf fun for the PAX…

PAX started rolling in, got the tunes set to go with the US Open theme song to kick it off, it was time to get this started.

Warm-O-Rama

Tappy Taps IC 8

Imperial walkers IC 12

Arm circles IC 10 forward, 10 backward

Mosey over to east end of parking lot with coupons and leave coupons by the bucket there

The Thang

Thang 1

Rugby Run out to the bridge in 2 lines with 20lb weighted ball – 5 burpee penalty for everyone each time the ball drops

At bridge everyone:

Circuit with 2 rounds

  • Bear crawl from bottom to threshold – Camilo Villegas green reading practice
  • Bernie sanders from threshold to top
  • Exercises at top
  • Mosey back down to bottom

Tell them to do a low plank at top until the six is in if they get there early

At top

  • First round 10 big boys and 10 derkins with feet on poles (to get you ready for any keg stands out on the course)
  • Second round 10 big boys, 10 derkins, 10 burpees OYO

Rugby run back to the coupons

Thang 2

Start out with “warm up” of

  • 1 arm 1 leg Romanian deadlifts 10 on each leg IC
  • 25 chest presses IC

Hole of Golf:

-Coupon handoff race split amongst 3 man teams

-125 yard length out and back – main rules of the race:

  • Stand in line shoulder to shoulder with teammates and will be handing off coupon to each other
  • Flat side of coupon needs to touch the ground while held with both hands before it can be handed off to next man
  • cannot move feet from when you receive coupon to when you hand it off
  • if your team drops the coupon (if it hits the ground without two hands holding the coupon) it is a one burpee penalty for entire team
  • person that just handed it off run into position at end of line to then receive and hand off coupon again
  • once your team gets to the far bucket (one foot past the bucket) reverse it back to the start bucket – the first team that makes it back across start bucket wins a goodie treat from the refreshment cart at the end of the workout
  • For those that finish first, can either do side straddle hops or can get in line with groups that still need to finish to help get them over the line

Mosey on back to flags with coupons

Mary

  • American hammer IC 15
  • In circle hold plank on coupon and in order Merkins with one arm on coupon

Circle of Trust

Saw a speech from Kara Lawson the other day that inspired me so I wanted to share with you guys.

Sometimes in life we tend to wait for things to get easier, just getting past this next big work meeting/project, this next big family event, the next big community/church/volunteer/school event.  I’ve been guilty of it in the past myself sometimes.  That can tend to snowball into the mindset of “this is too hard” or “is it ever going to get easier for me?”’ or “it looks easy for other people why isn’t it easy for me?”

Key point here – Don’t wait for life to get easier because it won’t.  Instead WE NEED TO FOCUS ON BEING ABLE TO BETTER HANDLE HARD WELL – focus on training/preparing yourself to handle harder through all aspects of life.  Any meaningful pursuit in life will not be easy.  Don’t get discouraged if it is hard.  When you push through and are able to overcome that challenge, it’s a great feeling.  When you are able to train yourself to handle hard better, you can better handle whatever life throws at you – cause life will throw a lot at you.  for me F3 is helping me to better prepare myself, so Let’s keep coming out here and focusing on working to get ourselves better able to handle hard better.

Prayer requests for those men recovering from the GTE event

Naked Man Moleskin

This was my sophomore Q, less jitters this time round but same adrenaline rush.  Got to lead a smaller group this time round, which was a different/cool vibe.

I sold the PAX on a golf workout and we definitely worked those muscles in different ways and through different activities that would get that golf swing firing, but next time round I may have to bring out a driver and some marshmallows to let the PAX take a rip with a club.

The PAX put in some good work out there, and Donkey strolled out after the full GTE event like a machine.  Appreciate Cropduster for having my 6 out there.
