“Complacency Crusher: No Comfort Zones Here!”

Leave a comment

Rolled into the AO with four minutes left on the clock, a perfect reminder that sometimes showing up is half the battle—but the other half is leaving any hint of comfort behind.

WARMUP:
Started with a solid round to loosen up:
– Hip Openers
– Imperial Walkers
– Chain Breakers
– Windmills

Movement:
Moved over to the island, where we kicked things off with Toy Soldiers, followed by Butt Kickers back to the starting point, and ended with a WWL favorite—Power Skips.

THE THANG:

Mosey to the Large Parking Lot:
– 5 Burpees

Mosey to the Front of the School:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– Omaha’d to include 10 Muscle-Ups

Mosey to the West Side Parking Lot:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 Carolina Dry Docks (CDDs)

Mosey to the Backside of the Baseball Fields:
– Paused to discuss the importance of pushing against complacency, especially during the holidays. It’s easy to let our guard down with, “It’s just a holiday treat” or “It’s cold, I’ll skip today.” But when we hear that voice justifying the easy path, it’s a signal to lean in and push harder. Consistency beats comfort every time.
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons

Mosey to the Tennis Courts:
– Bear Crawled up the staggered retention walls, pushing limits further.

Mosey to the Backside of the School:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
Mosey to the Practice Field Utility Building:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
– 5 Prisoner Get-Ups

Mosey Back to the Parking Lot Entrance:
Wrapped up our discussion on complacency by identifying areas in our lives where we tend to coast and could use improvement. Accountability comes when we’re open and honest, encouraging each other to level up.
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
– 5 Prisoner Get-Ups

Originally planned for 10 Monkey Humpers, but we upped it to a solid 25 to finish strong.

Final mosey to the Circle of Trust (COT)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Thanksgiving Convergence
– Christmas Party
– Dam to Dam Bar 10k
– Upcoming Wine Dinner (details to come)

PRAYERS AND PRAISES:
– Gratitude for health and healing, including medication regulation.
– Strength for our families dealing with illness and aging parents.

Wrapped it up feeling stronger together and ready to take on the day.

Recycling my VQ

Leave a comment

I found my old VQ backblast and brought a little back.

It wasn’t as hard as I remember. Solid work was done by all. We had a string of pearls to get to the spot

3 cones in a line

5 HR merkins
5 burpees in the middle
5 jump squats
4 burpees in the middle
5 HR merkins
3 burpees in the middle
5 jump squats
2 burpees in the middle
5 HR merkins
1 burpee in the middle
5 jump squats

I modified it down a bit from my VQ. Probably made it too easy. I’ll fix that next time

Four Corners of Fun (Pain)

Leave a comment

I was calling this Four Corners of Fun, but @libertybiberty called it Four Corners of Pain, so I guess there’s a thin line between fun and pain…LOL!!!

I gave a lousy disclaimer then we began the warm-o-rama. Note to self: Don’t take a Orange Theory class the day before you Q as I don’t remember what we did or maybe it was the mumbling chatter that was distracting me. Something about holding a member or a member hanging too low and the water level being too high. Whatever it was, I had to stay focused and keep us on task so we moseyed over the band practice field.

The Thang
In every corner of the field we performed the following exercises. Plank up for the six after each round.

Round 1 – 7 Burpees
Round 2 – 14 Merkins
Round 3 – 21 LBCs
Round 4 – 28 Squats
Round 5 – 21 American Hammers (count 1 side)
Round 6 – 14 Carolina Dry Docs
Round 7 – 7 Burpees

Moseyed back to COT for a Merlin Ring of Fire and some Mary.

Announcements:
– Several CSUPS once the month or two.
– Christmas party
– There were others; see the Newsletter
Prayers:
For those in Western Carolina that have been affected by the storm and those in the way of the next storm rolling through Florida.
