WARMUP: 50xSSHIC followed by a short mosey to our first pain station.

THE THANG:
At the end of the warm-up mosey we found ourselves at the entrance to the loop at the front of the school.
Played Catch Me If You Can with the finish line being opening to the road that leads to the back of the school
Partner#1 Bear Crawled while Partner#2 performed 5 burpees and then moseyed to catch Partner#1. Continue to flapjack until you reach the finish line.

Nex, moseyed to the back of the school to use the benches and stairs. Reverse 1/2 Jack Webb: Started with 10 step-ups each leg and then went into 40 squats. We stopped after completing the 5 & 20 mark.

Next, moseyed to the playground for a Mini No-Run Dora.
Partner#1 moved into a straight arm plank position with feet in a swing – performed one knee tuck followed by a Merkin – that equals 1 rep – Partners need to complete accumulative rep count of 100. While Partner #1 performs the exercise, Partner #2 completes 10 pullups, returns to Partner #1 and flapjack until accumulative rep count is complete.

Finally, moseyed to COT from some AB work.

It’s about community

Leave a comment

WARMUP: The heartstrings got loosened up out of the gates as Warning Track unloaded some baggage from a tough week, acknowledging the challenges of Living Right through the Flux of life and the importance of showing up this morning to be lifted up by his brothers. He followed up with the Obligatory SSHs and then set off from WEP.

THE THANG:

WT took the pax to the old Pike Elec parking lot stopping for some windmills, burpees and other fun enroute.

Pax broke into groups of 3 for a modified Dora across the parking lot. Midway through WT called audible due to pax incompetence and simplified to Dora in groups of 2. Terrible things like Merkins, squats, lunges, flutters, burpees, etc were unleashed on the pax

WT took pax to Memorial Park for more burpees and more shared pax stories of Why they come out to the Gloom on a wet Sat morning.

DD took the reins and moved the pax to a series of parking lots (pharmacy), Pike front courtyard, Town Hall back wall for pain stops including shoulder taps, wall sits, plank jacks, burpees, mtn climbers, peter parkers, Parker peters, etc.

Pax returned to WEP to appreciate JWOW’s lovely Christmas tree. Two rounds of partner work included bear crawls around tree + flutters followed by crawl bears around tree + HR merkins.

Mosey to grass in front of band shell for more partner work (merkins, shoulder taps, sit ups) interspersed with some burpees and lap around band shell. Finished off with Knee Tar N’dyae and Mahktar N’dyae.

Mosey home

MARY: included throughout

ANNOUNCEMENTS: coffeteria at HC

COT: great morning where we welcomed 3 FNGs + a Kotter while pax from 30s to 50s mixed it up and pushed each other to get 1% better.

“Our youth are our present” I heard my pastor say from the pulpit recently. Note he did NOT say “our future.” It’s as true in The Fort and in our community as it is in NYC with a 34 yr old mayor. Younger pax, you ARE leaders today — embrace your opportunity and duty. Seasoned pax — your leadership focus IS about bringing along the next generation of leaders — embrace your opportunity and duty.
We are blessed men to have these roles at this time.

Thanks to JWOW for the opportunity and Warning Track for the partnership.

Love you brothers!
