Another Monday, and 25 gloom-hungry monsters came expecting to work hard.
No newbies, so we disclaimed a little and then chatted for a second. What’s the difference between a hard workout, and a moderate workout? Moderate is a state of mind. Moderate is a choice you make. The workout is the workout to a large degree. Some are crazy hard, some are a little lame, but whether or not it is one of those to you largely depends on the choice you make in your mind to push hard, or to just show up and only go halfway. Aye? Great. The Thang:
WARM UP:
Jog to front of church and circle up.
– 25 fast SSH (IC)
– 10 slow Windmills (IC)
– 25 IW (IC)
– 20 Moroccan Nightclubs (IC)
– 15 Merkins (IC)
– 15 CDD (IC)
PARTNER UP (get somebody with the same sized kettlebell, if possible):
Each exercise will go to 50 counts between the two partners.
Round 1 (3 exercises – Kettlebell Burpees, Overhead Presses, Goblet Squats):
– Partner 1 runs parking lot lap (roughly .18mi) while Partner 2 does the exercise. Get to 50 reps each, then LBCs until the 6 is in
Round 2 (same thing, except 50 Lunges with pass through of bell, 50 curls each arm, 2 handed clean and jerk with a shoulder press combo)
Head to the low wall. Do 50 partner dips (feet on partners back, hands on wall) each.
Head to the big wall. Ascending testicles – 15 derkins with feet at 15 degrees, 10 at 45 degrees, 5 all the way up in BTTW. (This REALLY sucked.)
A little bit of Mary (no, Lou Bega wasn’t involved – if you don’t get the reference Google: Mambo number 5)
Run a Cusak lap to finish things off.
==============
Parting thoughts:
Do we push ourselves all the way, or are we holding back and not leaving it all out “on the field”? In our marriages, with our kids, at work, in our worship, in our workouts, in our resting even… Are we pushing and leaving it out there, or are we holding back? And if we are holding back, why? My challenge to myself (and I guess to other PAX) is to be intentional. Show up. Have a plan. Make it count. Go against the flow if you have to. Run with scissors when it’s called for. Leave it all out there (wherever there may be). Don’t be selfish, self-centered, or afraid. Give it away. Give your best to those who matter most, and stop living less than what you were put here to be. Period.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go play the sh*t out of some Barbies with my three little girls.
Helmet, out…
