NO SURPRISE NO SHOW

Philippians 3:13-14

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Perseverance is something that is not taught, but always in you deep until your mind recognizes it and your soul understands how to use it for good.

This AO has been challenging lately and my injury has not helped to have people accountable. I’m going to continue my efforts on what I can and understand to do which is to never give up and persevere even if it includes drastic changes for the good.

“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!!

YHC was reminded yesterday that someone is always watching you. Whether its your Concentrica, the Pax or work colleagues, you have infinite opportunity to influence others positively or negatively. The choice is yours. As leaders, ask yourself after interactions with other people “How do they feel after speaking with me?” Did you lift them up or bring them down? Set the temperature for others. Be the light!

WARMUP: 10 each – SSH, cherry pickers, Moroccan night clubs
THE THANG: Hand release merkins and burpees, Jack Webb style up and down each row of the parking lot up to an 18 count (instead of 20) . Then switched it on the way back. The intention was to incorporate other exercises but there was a lot of aisles in the parking lot😬. So basically it was a lot of burpee’s and HR merkins
