WARMUP: Goal 1, get moving. Check. Goal 2, listen to feedback, then action. Check.
Started with short mosey to front of school to distance us from the sweet sounds of the school fire alarm which was the indicator FITS was in the house (or that the mother of all Clemsons had been dropped by Slash).
We did a big tour of the school stopping to do 2-3 exercises at each stop where the warmup turned into “the Thang”. He was the warmup portion: windmills, low slow squat, cherry pickers, imperial walkers, merkins, down dogs, honeymooner, lunges, CDD.
THE THANG: Making our way to the back of the school, we stopped at the picnic table benches when HarryCarrey said “look benches”. #ListenAction
The benches offered us a stop for dips and Bulgarian squats. Not wanting to stay in one place, we vacated to the pull up bars where we did pull-ups, 30 second hang, knee to chest lifts from the bar. Next stop was in front of the elementary school at the bottom of the hill. 6 count burpees and jump squats.
Next stop, back of the school for more benches and Astro turf. More dips, CDD, team sit-ups, and laughter ensued single file leg lift throw downs. Good for those still on the turf, not so good for those that ran out of turf.
Next stop, almost off school grounds in the way back for: diamond merkins and BandCamp favorite, calf raises. And more low slow squats.
As we made our way back to COT, we paid homage to Al Gore and shoulder taps. Back up the hill when HarryCarry said “what about derkins” where stopped at the top for derkins, but not the kind HC wanted. #ListenAction. Partner up for 20 derkins where partner 1 planked and partner 2 put feet on partner one to perform derkins – swap after 20. Stopped at pull up bars for more pull ups and leg lifts before COT.
MARY: Circle up for rotating Mary before 0600.
Message: always with listening, there’s an action to be taken. Not everyone has to like the action or the decision to not take an action, but that’s leading. Indecisiveness leads to lack of trust and fear of failure. Failing faster leads to growth, practice, and learning to prepare better.
