ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fastest 5K in a couple weeks, Bethel Men’s shelter this Thursday, April 3
COT: Prayers for families, Splinter’s 2.0 in a difficult situation, Becky with cancer, Cash’s family
NMM:
It was a privilege to lead Q school this morning. Here are my pearls of wisdom from Qing workouts for the past 12 years:
1. Always have a watch to keep track of your time (start and end promptly).
2. Ease into the workout with a light jog, SSH’s, and windmills to stretch the major muscle groups.
3. I typically count at a slower cadence for more effective training. I make sure the workout is balanced with strength and cardio conditioning.
4. Use pull up bars whenever they are available at your AO. Try to work a back exercise into every workout (like Superman).
5. Steal shamelessly from other Q’s. I stole frequently from South Charlotte and local Pax (Geronimo was one of my favs). Today’s cocaine bearcrawls were stolen from Poppins (who stole from someone else, I think).
6. Due to my early work schedule during the week, I can’t stay for COT, and it’s something I truly miss. F3 has been a blessing in my life.
