Side straddle hops 10x Merkins 10x Big boy sit ups 10x Rope climbers 10x Run or walk the circle

Mary:
Was built in to the thang. So we did a cool down stretching routine. Sky reach, Body hang, Michael Phelps, Open the gate

WOR: 45 sshs, 45 windmills, colts 45s, bolt 45s

The Thang: 45 squared
Cones were set up in a square with sides 45 feet in length. Pax completed 45 reps of an exercise at cone 1, travelled to cone 2, did 45 reps of the same exercise and traveled to cone 3. This pattern continued until PAX completed 45 reps and cone 4 and travelled back to cone 1. Exercises and modes of travel varied according to the list below.

Round 1: Merkins and bear crawls
Round 2: Overhead presses and murder bunnies
Round 3: Leg lifts and broad jump burpees
Round 4: High pulls and rifle carries

Moleskine: One way to keep accelerating is to choose a new challenge in some aspect of your life and attempt to complete it. The type of challenge can (and should) vary. Even if the challenge is in your one aspect of your life (family, career, spiritual, personal) it tends focus you and keep all aspects on track!

Nothing’s more important than your relationship with Jesus, your wife, and your kids. Everything else is secondary. Check in every so often asking how is our relationship? If you think everything is great, but they don’t, everything is likely not great
