Thang 1: Burpee EMOM
We made our way to the Spa, turned on some Christmas music and proceeded with a Burpee EMOM. We started at 5 burpees and then added one each round. Once a PAX reached failure, they would subtract 2 burpees and keep going. No surprise, but @Big Mac lasted the longest and completed the round of 17.
Thang 2: Beach Body
Each station was assigned an exercise and we would rotate based upon the pace setter, we completed 2 rounds:
10x Sandees (Pacesetter, completed 8x on rd. 2)
Single Arm Coupon Curls
Thrusters
Coupon Squats
Bent Over Sandbag Rows
Derkins
Overhead Press
Grave Diggers
Moleskin
Marcus Aurelius said, "Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself" This is a great reminder that you should hold yourself to the highest standard, but give grace to others when they are not able to achieve the same standard you set for yourself.
Prayer:
Safe travels during the holidays
