FNG is Iron Horse

Lots of sweat today even thought it was 39 degrees this morning.  Great work guys!

Warm-up:

  • 20 Jumping Jacks – IC (Iron Horse comes in hot half way thru)
  • 20 Mtn Climbers – IC
  • 10 Merkins – IC

The Thang – Beat the Cards

Deck of card used for the workout, excludes 2-5 and includes a Joker.  Everyone takes turns drawing one card from the deck and performing the excercise and reps that cooresponds with the chart below.

Numbered Cards

  • Hearts = Push Ups x Number on card
  • Spades = Reverse KB Lunges x number on card, each side – IC
  • Clubs = Slow Mtn Climbers x number on card – IC
  • Diamonds = KB Squat & Press x number on card

Face Cards

  • Jack = KB Curl x 10 each arm
  • Queen = KB Snatch x 10 each side
  • King = KB Russian Swing x 10
  • Ace = Skull Krushers x 11
  • Joker = Rest 1 minute and Make others do exercise of your choice

We made it through the whole deck, but Zippy split the deck and the Joker was on the bottom, so we did who had the best 5-card poker hand, which Zippy had and he chose to do 10 – KB Jack Hammer Swings IC (I think thats what it was called) for merry.

Rand out of time so the message was.

God carefully watches the goings on of all mankind . . . 
—Job 34:21 (TLB)

There is an old story that tells about a pig. . . . The farmer brought the pig into the house. He gave him a bath, polished his hooves, put some Chanel No. 5 on him, put a ribbon around his neck, and put him in the living room. The pig looked fine. He made a nice and companionable pet for a few minutes. But as soon as the door was opened, the pig left the living room and jumped into the first mud puddle that he could find. Why? Because he was still a pig at heart. His nature had not been changed. He had changed outwardly but not inwardly. . . .

You can take a man—dress him up, put him in the front row in church, and he almost looks like a saint. He may fool even his best friends for a while, but then put him in his office, or in the club on Saturday night, and you will see his true nature come out again. Why does he act that way? Because his nature has not been changed.
