THE THANG: mosey to the the hill
An exercise was called in cadence at every light pole – at varying numbers of reps – YHC called sprint and pax sprinted to the next light pole. This took place to the top of the hill and then back down – a total of 20 light poles were “visited”. PAX took turns calling exercises on the way down. Leadership is best when shared.
Mosey back to basketball courts with a combo of lunge walks and bear crawls across.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: you bet – read your newsletter
COT: remains the 5th core principle. Be thankful for all we’ve been given.
Thanks for the call, Barkley. :eye:
Ran around lots of string of pearls.
Tried to climb every hill possible in a reverse bear crawl
Worked a good deal on side lunges, and moving around with ease, finished with a Jack Webb that the brothers tried to skip, but joined us eventually
Always an honor to lead a group of men I respect so much.
3 1/2 Kingsley loops
Pain stations at the turns of the loop, shuffles at the top and bottom lengths, discussion around jester.
WARMUP: Light rain was in the forecast and it was cold…so going to chalk those factors to the low numbers but Barkley and Farmers were not deterred. We did a quick lap by the elementary school along with the following warmup: SSH, windmills, low slow squats, cherry pickers, merkins, sprinter stretches, lower back stretch, and finally some hamstring and more lower back stretches.
THE THANG: Before we jumped in, these boys needed some old school Jack Webb because who doesn’t love JW! I know Jiffy does, miss that guy! 1 pushups, 4 overhead claps, 2 pushups 8 claps…up to 10 and 40. These guys loved it. We did this over by the small parking lot at the top of the school hill.
At the top of this hill, then down at the valley/bottom, then at the KW parking lot entrance we did:
– 10 diamonds at the top
– 10 jumping squats at the bottom
– 10 4-count flutters at KW
– Rinse and repeat starting with 10 diamonds at KW and so on.
We did this for 3 full sets and managed to eat up a good amount of time.
MARY: Airborne special
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter
COT: prayers for our family, jobs, each other…and lots of things we can’t control.
YHC was honored to be given the Q stick at Slow Burn and challenged the Pax to get 1% better this AM. You see, status quo is comfortable and safe because it is known. Showing up to an AO offers disruption because you do not know what you will encounter from the Q. As a Fort Redwood I dont have tons of new ideas but I do challenge those in attendance to get better as I am confident that this momentum will carry you through the day as it has for me over the years.
