– 15 Mountain Climbers (IC)
– 10 Windmills (IC)

The Thang
– Hill repeats with Squats (10 at the bottom, 9 at the top, 8 at the bottom…all the way down to 1) – 55 Total

Mosey to the Track
– 1 lap followed by 25 Merkins, 25 Flutters, 25 Wide Arm Merkins (repeat 4 times) – 100 Merkins, 100 Flutters, 100 Werkins, and 1 mile

Mosey back to COT

NMM
The quickest way to lose credibility as a leader is to pass the blame to someone else. We are better than that. Great leaders pass the praise and take the blame. It builds trust, earns respect, and shows true character. Ego divides. Ownership unites.

Aye!

The ladder of all ladders

Leave a comment

Mosey down to the far end of the parking lot by the baseball field.

Dynamic warmup

30 seconds on 10 seconds off
8 rounds
SSH
Windmill
Seal Jack
MNC
Imperial Walkers
HR merkins
Squats
Flutters

The thang

Ladder concept…run to a cone and do the reps assigned at the cones. Go back to the start do 5 squats and then go to the next cone etc…

Exercises were merkins and LBCs

Also had a burpee whistle blown at my discretion. 3 burpees each time.

So the cones were lined up at the distance from “home”

So .05 was cone 1…. .10 was cone 2 etc… all the way to cone .25.

We were able to wrap up with most getting to 2.5-3.0 miles and everyone got 150 LBCs and 150 Merkins. Thanks to Rosie for the opportunity!!!
