PAX


2 emerged from the chill(24F) to burn some calories and test our grit. Didn’t take long to warm up.
The rest of the typical crew was working or had visitors or family travel….or just fart sacked lol
Here’s how it went down:

WarmUp:
SSH, stretching, windmills, mountain climbers, low country crabs, slow bird ogs, merkins

P.Lot fun:
high knees, butt kickers, karaoke, side slides, bear crawl

The Deal:
A does 100 step ups on 24″ box with 23# pack
B does a circuit consisting of:
– 10 squats with 30# slam ball
– 10x alternating press up with 30# slam ball
– 10x hip dips
– 3 agility ladder runs (2in 2out, zig zag hops, Icky shuffle)
– 10 curls with 30# slam ball
– 10 overhead slams with 30# slam ball
– 10 merkins
– 10 sit up, press up (stand up for your right) with 20# slam ball
flip-flop

so whooped…much cardio was had…was not cold

reflection: 1 Corinthians 1:25
“For the foolishness of God is wiser than men.
And the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
– This was a great reminder for me…I think of myself as pretty smart, independent, and capable…and that can be a problem if I rely on my wisdom and my thoughts on what is best for me, my family, and others around me.
– Surrendering to His will isn’t easy for me. I erroneously think that is a sign of my weakness.
– Why wouldn’t I connect with the Creator of the Universe regularly…why don’t I follow the guidelines in the Bible…why do I think I know better?
– Do we want our kids to know how smart we are (not needing God in our life), or do we want them to understand we have weaknesses and Christ is the source of our learning and understanding
– definitely some things to think through and work on

moleskine:
– the slam balls were immeasureably warmer than the concrete blocks of extra heat sucking
– Q fail for not clearly saying merkins were in cadence….after all the presses, YHC was happy to back down to merely 10…lol
– Anvil likes his warm truck better than pre-workout chatter…lol…he emerged eventually #cantblamehim
– Anvil is still a beast…so much
– We believe we had the highest pax average age for SVU ever…53.5…breaking our record from a couple months ago…LOL

Have a great day fellas
Always an honor to lead
