Throughout the workout, pax reflected on hard choices related to living life fully out of a commitment to be our best self for our family. Pax shared about struggles and choices related to healthy eating, exercise, alcohol, porn, tobacco, foul language and more. Thanks to everyone for pushing through the stiff humidity and sharing openly. Inspiration came from the prompt below that crossed my radar in the past two weeks:

You say "I would die for my family"

OK, but …

Would you exercise for them? would you eat healthy for them? would you chase your dreams for them? would you quite your bad habits for them?

You don't need to die for them

You need to live for them

Thanks @U08N41FCN0Z for the Q invite! #KeepPosting

AI Gone Wild

Leave a comment

The talk of the morning was about the AI videos created by JWOW had gone off the rails. The conversation would take our minds off the wet and rainy weather.
We began with a trip around the park stopping at each swing for an exercise. We detoured twice out in the field to enjoy the moist grass. Next, we made our way to front of Pike Engineering where we did three rounds of dips, derkins, split squats. Short trip to the adjacent parking lot for three rounds of partner exercises, Partner 1 ran while Partner 2 did muscle ups on the brick wall.
Next, we bear crawled to the top parking lot, continue our journey to the parking lot across from the Donut Shop. We did a short version of concaine bear. Ran it backways, replaced merkins with CCDs.
We made our way to Print Shop for 10 good pull-ups. Back to WEP for a round of 7s and a bear crawl around the theater.

5 – 25 – 250

Leave a comment

Slow mosey around the perimeter of the parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following
WARMUP:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 Windmills
  • 20 MNC
  • 15 Strawberry Pickers
  • 20 OH clamps

Then mosey over to the start of the WEP loop near the parking lot.
THE THANG:
5-25-250
In honor of Memorial Day (5-25) and the 250th Birthday of the United States of America
Run the WEP sidewalk loop. Start at the bathroom side so we get that nice uphill There are 11 swing stations. Run between stations. Stop at 10 of them, then do 25 reps of each of the 5 exercises at each of the 10.

  1. Merkins
  2. Mountain climbers
  3. LBC
  4. LSS
  5. Imperial walkers

At one station about halfway through we stopped to talk about the history of Memorial Day.
So mathing things out
5 exercises
25 reps each
10 stations
250 reps total of each exercise
By the time we got back around to the amphitheater it was 6am on the dot.

Simple yet effective. Repetition seems boring but doing max reps of an exercise, until it burns, builds tolerance, endurance, strength. We hit all major muscle groups. Got smoked.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter and get involved.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Family health issues, kids, parents, teachers finishing school; anniversaries; sons going into harm's way to help others; PAX health both mental and physical; and more.
