“Complacency Crusher: No Comfort Zones Here!”

Leave a comment

Rolled into the AO with four minutes left on the clock, a perfect reminder that sometimes showing up is half the battle—but the other half is leaving any hint of comfort behind.

WARMUP:
Started with a solid round to loosen up:
– Hip Openers
– Imperial Walkers
– Chain Breakers
– Windmills

Movement:
Moved over to the island, where we kicked things off with Toy Soldiers, followed by Butt Kickers back to the starting point, and ended with a WWL favorite—Power Skips.

THE THANG:

Mosey to the Large Parking Lot:
– 5 Burpees

Mosey to the Front of the School:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– Omaha’d to include 10 Muscle-Ups

Mosey to the West Side Parking Lot:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 Carolina Dry Docks (CDDs)

Mosey to the Backside of the Baseball Fields:
– Paused to discuss the importance of pushing against complacency, especially during the holidays. It’s easy to let our guard down with, “It’s just a holiday treat” or “It’s cold, I’ll skip today.” But when we hear that voice justifying the easy path, it’s a signal to lean in and push harder. Consistency beats comfort every time.
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons

Mosey to the Tennis Courts:
– Bear Crawled up the staggered retention walls, pushing limits further.

Mosey to the Backside of the School:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
Mosey to the Practice Field Utility Building:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
– 5 Prisoner Get-Ups

Mosey Back to the Parking Lot Entrance:
Wrapped up our discussion on complacency by identifying areas in our lives where we tend to coast and could use improvement. Accountability comes when we’re open and honest, encouraging each other to level up.
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
– 5 Prisoner Get-Ups

Originally planned for 10 Monkey Humpers, but we upped it to a solid 25 to finish strong.

Final mosey to the Circle of Trust (COT)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Thanksgiving Convergence
– Christmas Party
– Dam to Dam Bar 10k
– Upcoming Wine Dinner (details to come)

PRAYERS AND PRAISES:
– Gratitude for health and healing, including medication regulation.
– Strength for our families dealing with illness and aging parents.

Wrapped it up feeling stronger together and ready to take on the day.

100’s

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmill
THE THANG:
It’s been said that a real man can do 100 burpees in 10 minutes so we put it to the test.

Thang 1
100 Burbees in 10 minutes .
A timer was set for 1 minute intervals with no rest in between. The goal was to do 10 burpees each minute. Rest period is if you finish 10 burpees in less than a minute. (Pro tip: if you a get 11 per minute you basically have a minute rest at the end).

We moseyed around to the basket ball courts.

Thang 2
We lined up at the base line for 100 LBCs. Then we ran to the far base line of the next court for the next exercise of 100 Squats. Run back to the 1st base line and plank up for the six. Next round: 100 flutter kicks (R + L =1), run to the far base line for 100 lunges (50 each leg). Run back to the 1st base line.

Thang 3
Starting at the base line, bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and 1 shoulder tap (R +L = 1). Repeat, adding 1 rep to each exercise each time—bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, and 2 shoulder taps. Continue until you reach 10 reps of each exercise or reach the opposite base line, whichever comes last.

We moseyed back to the flag
MARY:
We had about 1 minute left for American Hammers until time was up.

Announcements: Golf Tournament, 10/28. @Happy Hour has room for one more on their team. Also room for single and doubles. Also a need for raffles and prizes.
Bottles and Bourbon
Christmas party

Prayers/Praises: @Band Camp sister-in-law 911 dispatcher deployed to Buckham county. Continued prayers for those still dealing with the aftermath of the hurricane.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
