Buckets (again)

WARMUP: We warmed up

Went to the now famous buckets workout.

Three buckets were placed around Kingsley. Upon arrival the packs found various exercises on paper slips that were pulled from the buckets at random. The goal was to spread the buckets around so that we got at least a mile if not a mile and a half of running for the workout.

Included in bucket 1:
Box cutters and burpees
Mtn climbers and grave diggers
Donkey kicks and merkins
LBCs and dying cockroaches

Bucket 2:
Donkey kicks and squats
Calf raises and Weezy Jeffersons
Butt kickers and Peter pointers

Bucket 3:
Burpees of various counts
Shoulder taps
Lbc’s

All thoroughly enjoyed. Good news…I believe they will all continue to post at the Fort.

Many thanks to the President and CEO of gloomschedule, <@U08G28Z7E> for the opportunity.

Don’t Carry Your Burdens Alone

Theme: How are you carrying your burdens?

Think about these things:

How the weight of your burdens feels as you physically move around.

How hard would it be to carry multiple burdens at a time?

How hard would it be to carry these burdens alone?

How does it feel to lay your burdens down?

Carry the Burden

Brick never leaves you. Hold it in one hand, carry to chest, overhead, do push ups on it, etc.

Thang

4 stations around Veterans Park/Main Street. 2 exercises at each station. 10 reps each.

Station 1 – Veterans Park
American Hammer and LBCs

Station 2 – Hobos
Merkins and Curls

Station 3 – Top of Main
Thrusters and Reverse Lunges

Station 4 – FM Pharmacy
OH Press and Shoulder Raises

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7

A burden shared is a burden halved.

The weight you carry today builds the strength you’ll need tomorrow.

Four sets of ten (minutes)

WARMUP: Skipped it. To much “thang” to do.
THE THANG: The plan was simple, complete four ten minute stations in different locations in 45 minutes. To stay on track, we did a 5:14am disclosure and skipped the obligatory warmup of SSH, windmills, etc.
Quick mozy to station one by the closed dental practice to pickup stones from the dry creek bed. For ten minutes we used the rocks for 20 reps each of flutters with press, triceps extensions, biceps curls, upright rows, halos, and presses. After ten minutes we returned the stones and ran to the church parking lot for station two.
Station two was simple; running for ten minutes. One long length of the parking lot was a run, at the end we walked to the next straightaway then sprinted back. At the end we walked until we got back to the start for the next run/walk/sprint/walk cycle. Rinse and repeat until the timer went off and we ran to the shelter for station three; body weight exercises.
At station three we did 20 reps each of calf raises, step ups, dips, merkins, Carolina dry docks, and bomb jacks. Rinse and repeat for ten minutes. When the ten minute timer went off we ran to COT for station four; Mary.
At station four we did 20 reps each of LBCs, box cuttahs, flutters, BBS, Freddy Mercurys, leg lifts to 45 degrees. Rinse and repeat for 10 minutes.
We were able to get almost all of it completed by 6:00.
