28 Pax showed up this cool morning for YHC led workout.  With one week left in the forties there was a lot of work around the number forty.  Early comments were thrown that several showed today, expecially the over 45 crowd since they knew they would not be the oldest posting today at the Coop.

No FNGs and all Pax are experienced so off we went for a mosey to the elementary school.  Around the side parking lot with high knees, butt kickers and side shuffle, then mosey to the end of school to circle up.  Warm up

•  20 SSH IC
• 15 Imperial Walkers IC
• 15 Mountain Climbers IC
• 10 Merkins with hold to 6″ IC
• 20 Morrocan Nightclubs IC

The Thang:

Mosey to the hill leading up to ROTC building.  10 merkins at bottom, backwards run up the hill, 5 pull-ups.  Repeat 4x.

Mosey to AO Jones entrance to NAFO and pick up a coupon.  Bring coupon to the large parking lot.  YHC talked about moving out of our “comfort zones” and into action.  Putting our faith in action can create fear within us and as Peter stepped out of the boat to go to Jesus, fear entered his mind as he felt the wind and began to sink.  Jesus was there to reach out a hand.  So many times we can feel the calling to act out our faith in our home, community or world and yet don’t act because of fear / excuses.  Remember that if God is calling you to it, He will see you through it!!  Next exercise with coupon……4 light poles across parking lot.

• 1st pole – 10 burpees – carry rock to 2nd pole
• 2nd pole – 20 curls – drop rock run back to 1st pole for 10 burpees
• 3rd pole – pick up rock at 2nd pole carry to 3rd and 30 tricep ext.  drop rock and run back for 10 burpees.
• 4th pole – pick up rock at 3rd & carry to 4th for 40 squats.  Run with rock back to 1st pole 10 burpees.

Partner Up – with partner run to light pole 10 plank hops each partner(crowd fav) 10 merkin slaps.  Rinse & Repeat.  With time still remaining 1 more round – change to bear crawl half way, lunge walk half, sprint back.
