Giving Thanks

Steadily the crowd grew at the buffet line at Golden Coral.  Eventually 21 men made their way out if their beds and into the parking lot to enjoy the cool crisp temps this morning and to get a head start on burning Thanksgiving day calories.

 

The Thang:

 

15 rukcers took off with Cobra Kai, and the 6 men remaining followed me and moseyed to the Pre-School.  Call me crazy, but I think this ruck thing might have some legs.

Dynamic WarmUp:  Karaoke, Butt Kickers, High Knees, Side Shuffle

More Warming Up:  SSH x 30 – Squats x 30 – IW x 30 – Moroccan Night Club x 50

4 Corners – Corner 1, 50 SSH – Corner 2, LBC’s x 50, Corner 3 – CDD x 50 – Corner 4, Squats x 50 – Rinse and Repeat

Sprint Work – Spring the Parking Lot / Jog Back – Cool down with each PAX giving something that they are thankful for.  Rinse and Repeat x 10

Moseyed Back to Teeter and circled up for 5 minutes of Ab Work.

Finished with a Burpee Countoff

This was not a workout that left the PAX gasping for air, or not being able to lift your arms to your keyboard.  The purpose was to take some time to reflect on the things we have to be thankful for. To often, our hectic schedules keep us from seeing the blessings around us.  Instead, we are rushed and focused on the next task, the next deadline, the next errand, or the next event.

While there is a lot to be thankful for there is also a lot of  pain and hurt during this time. Take the time this Thanksgiving season to really connect with those that you encounter.  Try to reach them wherever they might be in their journey.

As always, thanks for the opportunity to lead and thank you PAX for continuing to push YHC physically, relationally, and spiritually.
