Lessons, Learnings and Mahktar Ndiayes

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to behind Empire for COP with various exercises in cadence including; SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers and a question answered incorrectly by the PAX. Therefore…..5 burpees OYO.

THE THANG: 3 lessons – 3 stations

Lesson 1 – The examined life is the one most worth living. We don’t learn from our experiences. We learn by reflecting on our experiences, then hopefully applying the learning in a positive way lest we repeat failure.

Lesson 2 – Mosey to the corner of Lowe’s: Today’s habits are tomorrow’s influence. Our “ordinary” is what others see. Our children and those we influence will emulate us. Why? They learn by watching us. And more are watching than we realize. More on that in lesson 3

11’s were called (month of November) – Hand-release merkins on one side and Makhtar Ndiayes on the other. Barry Manilow was highly pleased. PAX did this exercise together at three different points behind Lowe’s until the mulch piles were reached.

Lesson 3 – 2.8 – We influence an average of 2.8 people per day. In our lifetimes – it adds up to between 10,000 and 80,000 people. Our ripple effect matters – how are you cascading your influence? 3 series of 8 flying squirrels and 2 super slow burn squats with modes of transport varying between lunge walks and jogs.

A mosey to the grassy area near COT for Knee-tar Ndiayes and monkey humpers.

A mosey to behind Chik Fil A where we took geometry class by doing protractors, hello dolly’s and rosalitas depending on the angle.

A mosey back down the hill to COT and, according to Barry Manilow – it looked like we made it.

MARY: No time – open to all men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Of course
COT: Will always be the 5th core principle

PAX were challenged to be a stone in someone’s life. At an age range of 47-58, there is insight to be shared and others will benefit. Being that somebody by serving in this capacity is taking one meaningful step toward leaving our world better than we found it.

The lessons shared served as a reminder to the importance of the roles we serve in our homes and communities. They learn by watching us. Always.

Thanks for the call, Peach Stand.

Honored,
Cyclops

It is what it is!

As is typical of YHC, I wanted to do some ladder work at the Ballroom to keep the Pax moving today so I researched old backblasts for ideas. While not original, I love reading the old backblasts to see the Pax, the mumblechatter and the work being done. I stumbled on a few good ideas from Fogerty and Cake Boss but settled on a Bonsai from 2022 that included over 700 reps which I thought was appropriate for our 1st sub 30 degree day this Fall.

WARMUP:
After a thorough disclaimer, we commenced to Indian Run to the track with the 6 doing 5 merkins and then sprinting to the lead.

We circled up in the track/football field parking lot for the following:

SSH x 30
Cherry Pickers x 10
Seal Jacks x 20
Windmills x 10
Plank Jacks x 20
IW x 15

We moseyed to find a gate that was open so that YHC could deploy the Weinke.

THE THANG:

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 1 burpee
Run to the 20 yard line, do 2 burpees
Ladder up then down to other goal line

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 5 merkins
Run to the 20 yard line, do 10 merkins
Ladder up then down to the other goal line Run

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 squats
Run to the 20 yard line, do 20 squats
Ladder up then down

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 flutters
Run to the 20 yard line, do 20 flutters
Ladder up to the 50 then pause
Bear crawl the remaining 50 yards

Mosey home
