Mental Battle workout

WARMUP:

Quick disclaimer and shared we would be doing the Mental Battle workout created by DropThrill.

THE THANG:
Little mosey into a secondary parking lot and did a warmup

SSH – 20
Windmills- 6
Imp Walkers – 15
Plank Stretching
Merkins – 10 IC

From there we ran over to bigger lot where I set up a “4 corners” this was the 7 provided exercises and one extra. We then did 4 laps on 1/2 the exercises and 4 laps on the second.

Exercises were:

Jump squats x 12
Merkins x 15
Plank Jacks x 20
Lunges x 12 per leg

Inbetween the first and second half we held plank and I shared some alarming statistics with mental health. We discussed F3 and it’s impact on my life and others, the importance of getting right, guard rails, shield locks and conquering the jester (all in light of the fact that mental health a very dynamic thing)

Then we did the second half…

LBCs x20
Burpees x 10
Monkey Humpers x 30
Mountain Climbers x 30

We had extra time so we did wall sits and balls to walls on side of movie theater, then we ran around backside and ran up a two story flight of stairs twice. Then we moseyed back around to COT and had enough time for 10, 6 point Burpees IC. Fun way to end it out.

MARY:

Families, 2.0s health and of course mental health.
