This morning YHC was joined by 12 other men looking to get stronger, faster, and better. The conditions were near perfect if you like not being able to breath and your sweat sweating. Suffice to say, the pain was plentiful but the men were up to the challenge.
WarmUp
- 25 SSH
- 25 Imperial Walkers
- 25 Moroccan Night Clubs
- 25 Reverse Moroccan Night Clubs

Mosey in front of TJMaxx
Since we brought Sally up Monday, I figured we’d invite Roxanne to ManU. Every time the Police said “Roxanne,” we did a merkin. Anytime the band said “red light,” we did 2 mountain climbers. Anytime in between, we held the plank…and enjoyed Apache’s rendition of the song. Today I learned that the men of ManU are tone deaf. It was glorious!
Mosey back to the fountain
- 25 Box Jumps
- 25 Calf Raises (each leg)
Mosey behind the ‘Shroom.
Today YHC introduced “Blackjack.” As in blackjack, the goal is to reach 21. First we did 20 jump squats, ran the length of the parking lot and did 1 LBC. Then 19/2, 18/3, 17/4…all the way to 1/20.
- 231 total LBCs and Jump Squats.
Long Mosey back to COT.

We covered over 3 miles this morning with nary a complaint. I promise the Pax will never hear “Roxanne” the same way again.
It truly is an honor to embrace the suck with these men. I know I can count on them to push past their perceived limits and work their tails off for the betterment of their mind, body, and spirit. I’m always proud to see the progress each of you are making.
Today we discussed the farming theme throughout Scripture. Reaping, sewing, pruning…these are examples of how Christ brought the Word to life in the hearts and minds of His people. Today, we have to realize that we reap what we sew. Every action has a reaction, or better yet, every decision has consequences. I encourage you guys to continue sewing good seeds. Continue getting better with your fitness, fellowship, and most importantly, your faith. Have a heart for the harvest. There are people that need the hope of Christ – as John 4:35 says, “I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields? They are ripe for harvest.” So do it. Go get them. Share the love of Christ with them. Show them what we have. Be His hands and feet in this world.
Don’t waste your time, effort, and energy filling your mind, heart, and thoughts with discontentment and despair. Don’t compare yourself to others. There are only so many minutes in the day – use them to glorify your Father in Heaven. You have been blessed, so be a blessing to others. Pour out love, not hate. Consider your mind a suitcase. There is only so much room to pack things in. Fill that suitcase with positivity. The less room that is occupied with negative thoughts, the more room there is for good things. Realize that you have been blessed. Count your blessings – I assure you they outweigh your curses.
I’m proud of you guys.
