NMM
Today’s workout was proof that it can be simple and still difficult. No PowerPoints needed. No extra explanation. Just Merkins and running. Do enough, and you feel it.

How many times in life do we make things more difficult than they need to be? We worry about things that never materialize. We make excuses to not do something because it might be uncomfortable. We worry ourselves with ornate scenarios we create in our minds that have little to no basis in reality. Sometimes we need to just do the thing. Face it. Do it. Win it. Move on.

As much of a loud mouth liberal and ungrateful American as I may appear to be, I am extremely grateful for the freedoms enshrined in the constitution that allow me to be so, and so publicly. It’s an honor to recognize the individuals who have served in the military to defend the constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic. Happy Veteran’s Day.

Welcome to the Marine Veteran now known as ODB!

75mins, a little complexity, a lot of effort

Leave a comment

The image of the board will be used as the workout details but in case others want to use this, here are a few notes to consider:
– Split the group if needed.
– Predetermine a good distance for the Mode of Transportation (M.O.T.) and ensure it’s clearly articulated.
– Keep repeating the “Thang” section until every PAX completes 1 time on the M.O.T.
– Give example of the exercise before that “Thang” section, not all examples in the beginning.
– Open to other feedback
WARMUP:
THE THANG: See image.
