Hello Newman

I. The Warm-O-Rama (The Tip-Off)
• The Mosey: A light 5-minute jog around the AO (Area of Operation) to get the blood flowing.
• Side-Straddle Hops: 20 reps in cadence (IC).
• Imperial Walkers: 15 reps IC (keep it slow to stretch the hip flexors).
• Windmills: 10 reps IC.
• Rebound Jumps: 30 seconds of small, rhythmic hops (stay on the balls of your feet).
II. The Thang: “The Road to the Final Four”
This is a four-station circuit. Spend 4 minutes at each station. If the group is large, split into four teams and rotate.
Station 1: The Round of 64 (High Reps, Low Impact)
• 64 Mountain Climbers (Single count): Focus on form, not speed.
• 64 Air Squats: Steady pace. Keep the chest up like you’re boxing out for a rebound.
Station 2: The Sweet 16 (The Core)
• 16 Big Boy Sit-ups: Slow and controlled.
• 16 Box Jumps (or Step-ups): Use a curb or bench. Step-ups are the preferred moderate modification here.
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 3: The Elite 8 (Upper Body)
• 8 Merkins (Push-ups): Quality over quantity.
• 8 Carolina Dry Docks: Great for the shoulders.
• 8 Werkins (Wide-arm push-ups):
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 4: The Full Court Press (Cardio)
• The Suicides: Run 10 yards and back, 20 yards and back, 30 yards and back.
• The Modification: Perform this at a 60% “recovery” pace rather than a sprint.
III. The “Buzzer Beater” (Finisher)
The “Bobby Hurley.” On the Q’s command, everyone “slaps the floor” (squats down to touch the ground) and jumps up for a jump shot.
• Perform 15 reps total.

Go through gauntlet again as a group

Change is the Game

WARMUP: Cold morning required a warm up session for the Q so the rest of the pax got the same
THE THANG: Mosey to basketball court on far side of school. Stopped on way at picnic tables for some step-ups and dips (3 rounds). The routine at the court involved 2 laps of yogging followed by a round of 3 core exercises followed by one set of suicides. We rinsed and repeated for a total of 3 full cycles of this routine. Then moseyed back to launch.
MARY: She joined throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break the Dam, trash pickup
COT: Some quick departures shrunk the COT crowd. We identified Honky Tonk and Sugar Bug as Ballroom regulars we hadn’t seen recently. One pax committed to reach out to each for a check in.

Throughout the Thang, pax traded experience regarding how change has impacted their life and whether they felt the rate of life changes was accelerating as they age or slowing. General agreement was that the volume and rate of change GROWS as we age. A comment was made about the rate of change vs EXPECTATIONS. Q Source says we prepare for what’s expected so that we’re in the best position possible to respond for the inevitable times when unexpected change will come our way.

My experience and study on life change indicates we go through many cycles and each one reflects three stages: an ending to the current reality, an uncomfortable in between period, then a new beginning. Moving past the “ending” that is really the start of change often requires a “letting go”….maybe even a grieving period. What do you need to let go of so you can move forward?

Grateful to Bass for the Q invite and the very timely reminder at Flight Plan Mon morning. Also grateful for the covey of Respectable HIM who posted to help sharpen me. May God continue to bless The Fort!
