WARMUP: Disclaimer was disclaimed and we started to mosey. Goal of warm up was to cover 1 mile with various exercises along the way. Exercises while moseying – karaokes, high knees, and butt kickers. First stop during warm up was by the front of the school. Low slow squats x10 in cadence and mountain climbers x12 in cadence. Then we partnered up, cumulative rep count of 100 with each partner doing alternating sets of 10 reps. While partner A was performing 10 step ups partner B was holding a wall sit. Keep switching until you hit 100 reps total. Moseyed to the next area for similar routine to warm up upper body. Partnered up, 100 cumulative reps, this time while partner A is performing 10 merkins partner B held 6 inches. Moseyed to a 3rd area for a similar routine for core. Partnered up, 100 cumulative reps, partner A performed 10 sit-ups while partner B performed flutters. Goal was met as we covered 1 mile.

10 – Diamond Merkins, run 2 laps
15 – Derkins (feet on curb), run 2 laps
20 – Merkins, run 2 laps
25 – WideArm Merkins, run 2 laps

10 – Split Lunge Jumps
15 – Jump Squats
20 – Squats

Alternated by completing the first phase of the mini MP routine and then move right into the 1st phase of the bear crawl routine. Keep alternating until all 4 phases are complete. Ended right at 45 min, maybe went a few seconds over.

Four Freedoms:
Context/background: by December 1940, Nazi Germany had taken over most of Europe and Britain/London was getting pummeled with the nightly blitz bombings. Japan was also making conquests in China and Korea. The US was separated from all of this, and many folks thought the isolationist stance should continue (people were still remembering the pain of WW One).
But FDR (newly elected to his third term as President) knew the US was basically the only nation capable of saving the democracies of the world.
In his State of the Union address on January 6th 1941, FDR laid out why the US should get more involved…the four basic freedoms of democracy was under attack:
Freedom of Speech
Freedom to Worship God in the manner that a man wants to.
Freedom from Want…economic security
Freedom from Fear…aggression of one nation to another
Eighty-two years later, we have Ukraine being attacked and their basic Freedoms under attack. Prayers for ClickBait, MarkTwian, and their crews in the work they are doing over there in Ukraine.
WARMUP: Mossy up to the front parking lot and started warm up. 7 and 10 count for Marracan Night Club, produce pickers, windmills, mountain climbers, stretching and mossy to the round about.

Message about pushing through the muck and not letting the small errors get to is. Remember we can reach out if we need that help.
