Get Right at Acceleration Project

Leave a comment

13 Pax gathered for a downpainment prior to the Acceleration Project and to Get Right for the day. The goal is to grow in every area of your life, not necessarily by leaps and bounds, but inch by inch. The idea of getting 1% better is what ultimately leads to becoming a pro and preparing for the unexpected.

Mental Battle workout

Leave a comment

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:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF or Waxhaw Trail Fest on 4/20, Bethel Men’s Shelter Rock Hill serve 4/4, Jeager 5/11 I believe.
COT:

Families, 2.0s health and of course mental health.

7 Day Function check

Leave a comment

PAX, a group of HIM did this two years ago and it’s a great way to reset your body, mind and spirit.

FUNCTIONS CHECK: 7 DAY CHALLENGE

In the military, a functions check is what you perform on your weapon to ensure it’s going to work when you need it. Doing this simple process increases safety, ensures operability, and gives you the knowledge that your weapon is functioning properly — and this knowledge also builds your confidence to focus on the larger mission. In this case, your life as a whole.

7-Day Function Check: If you’re looking for a reboot, to prove that you’re still functioning just fine, you GET TO try this

Pick any 7 days between now and the end of April to complete this challenge:
DETAILS – 7 DAY TOTALS
PHYSICAL – Ruck/run 25 miles total. NO junk food . NO alcohol
MENTAL – No TV, No Video Games, No Social Media. Read a book of your choosing instead. Slack is OK
SOCIAL – 4 Workouts (minimum 30 minutes each) with a partner, in the real world. Rucking/running with a partner counts as miles and as a workout.

There are three pillars to your HEALTH: Mental, Physical, and Social — your head, your heart, and your soul. Strong in all three means you’re living in accordance with your best self. They are very much interwoven into your life, so neglecting one aspect too much leads to imbalance. This Functions Check is structured to help reset all three pillars of health, together.

Why just 7 days? This will give you just enough time to suck and to break the routine, but not so long that it’s all encompassing. If you enjoy the challenge, you can do it for as long as you’d like.

Tinsel Out…

F3 AMRAP 4 AUTISM – ROUND THREE!

Leave a comment

F3 AMRAP 4 AUTISM – 3rd EDITION

B.L.U.F.

Saturday April 20th there will be a #BEATDOWN of epic proportions (AMRAP style) at Alcatraz.  This #SNOTWOGGLER is being delivered to support families with autism (like mine) get the resources they need.  The average cost for ABA therapy is $60,000 per year and can be much higher depending on the severity and need.  Autism Strong Foundation is a local non-profit that is “Founded on faith and led by inclusion, our mission is to provide the strongest support, community, and hope for those touched by autism. All funds raised by Autism Strong are mindfully donated to our community in the way that will make the greatest impact; connecting families and children to the resources they desperately need.” Give HERE if you feel so lead.  Also shirts are live on Mudgear HERE (First order ends March 27 for delivery by event day – second order will launch soon after this one closes)

THE WHY:

This fundraiser supports the Autism Strong Foundation, aiding families grappling with the financial strain of raising autistic children.  You may have heard me advocate for this fundraiser in years past, as this is the 3rd year my M and I have done this fundraiser.  However, this year feels different.  It feels different for two reasons.  First, the diagnosis rate has increased to 1 in 36 children diagnosed in the U.S. with ASD.  This is up from 1 in 54 just 10 years ago!  Secondly, this year feels more personal.  You see, last year we lost our insurance coverage for Noah’s ABA therapy.  After fighting with insurance for months to no avail we were left feeling discouraged and unsure of how we would continue to provide Noah with the therapy that he needed and that has been SO SIGNIFICANT.  Then, the Autism Strong Foundation stepped in, and I am very happy to say that Noah is a recipient of the Landon’s Hope Scholarship for 2023 which will cover the FULL YEAR of ABA therapy cost in 2024 for our family!  So, yea…this year feels a bit different.

Did you know that ABA therapy, a crucial intervention for autism, costs families on average $60,000 per year per the CDC?  The long-term commitment and limited availability exacerbate this burden. Families face additional expenses for education, medical care, and support services, leaving some faced with the unthinkable decision of paying the light bill or paying for their child’s therapy.  No parent should have to make this decision.

Through AMRAP 4 Autism, we aim to alleviate some of these challenges. Your support, whether through donations or spreading awareness, can make a real difference in the lives of these families.

I know that you have ample opportunity to “give to charity” throughout the year.  I’m asking you to seriously consider this opportunity this year.  My personal goal is to raise $25,000 during the month of April (Autism Awareness Month).
