WARMUP: see bb for SnakePit
THE THANG: see bb for SnakePit
MARY: see bb for SnakePit
ANNOUNCEMENTS: see bb for SnakePit
COT: see bb for SnakePit

“Next exercise…what he said”

SERIOUSLY…LEADERS…listen close…

As Leaders…inevitably you will encounter something that does not go according to plan… this morning it was my Q at Bushwood.  In short, no one showed….even the site Q opted for the “other workout” (in fairness, he had a good reason 😂) – a kettlebell beatdown by Sasquatch at SnakePit.  

LEADERS…be NIMBLE.  Be willing to ADAPT.  

For me…I grabbed a bell and deferred to Squatch!

BTW…my weinke today only had one exercise… it was going to be a 45 min body destroyer 😉

Y’all’s loss!!
