Sasquatch led us through 15 minutes of contortion that can best be described as pain pretzels.  Sasquatch nailed the balance poses, the rest of us sure tried hard.

At 0530, the reigns were turned over and the premise for the bootcamp was shared with the PAX.  My 3rd (and final) 2.0 turned 5yo this past week, so this beatdown was brought to us by the number 5 and inspired by the progression of his life thus far.

– Newborn:  feeding then pat the back until you get a nice BURPee…

5 quick burpees to get the blood flowing

– 6 months:  things get real interesting once they start crawling…

5 bear crawl laps around awning pillars at school entrance (after 3/4 of first lap i realized 5 may have been a little aggressive but we made it through)

-9 months: they are gaining balance and they start sitting…

Wall sit w/ MNC x10 (IC)

Wall sit w/ alternating heal raise x10 (IC)

Mosey (out into the rain) to pullup bars

-12 months: they are gaining arm and leg strength.  They push/pull/struggle to stand up on own…

5 rounds

5 pullups, 10 merkins, 15 air squats, run down to stop sign and back

Mosey back to covered high school entrance

-2 to 3 years: terrible 2s lead to laying on ground, flailing, and lots of grunting….

5 minutes of Mary. 5ish exercises. LBCs, peter parkers, nap time (Fishsticks knew we needed a break), Leg Lifts, V ups

End at 0600.

Pretty sure i heard a couple “this sucks” and at least one “cant wait to see what is next now that my arms, shoulders and legs are toast” so I think that means it was a good workout?  Bear crawls and pullups are not exercises I excel at, but I chose to put them in today to challenge myself and get better and hopefully that was the same for the other PAX (Sasquatch may have broke a sweat?).

Each year my 2.0s get older, I stress about whether or not I am raising them right and question if I should be doing things differently or if I am being too hard on the older ones or too easy on the younger ones.  Who knows.  Raising kids is tough. So, let’s all take time to cherish the special moments as they come because time flies and they get old quick!

PS- my geography teacher lied – I guess it does actually rain in the Badlands.
