Four for Fighting

The Fort Horsemen (three of them) rotated Q of this morning’s workout at #Varsity.
Ruby started with a warmup and with SSH, Low Slow Squats etc. and added burpees between exercises.
Off to the pull up bars and Ruby directed us in a pyramid scheme:
Do one burpee—then two pull ups
Do three burpees—then four pull ups
Proceed likewise until ten pull ups and the reverse back down to one burpee. Smokey.
Headspin did a cinder block routine burner: KB swings, goblet squats, curls, rifle carry, and then murder bunnies (no blocks broken!).
Back to Ruby to cover Splinter’s hill work with a modified DORA. Partner 1 does jumping lunges while other runs down hill and nurs back up. Did a couple of sets, then switched to jump squats while other runs/nurs.
Harry Carry concluded with a fish tracks routine: bear crawl, stop and do merkins, repeat 3x. lunge walk, stop and do smurf jacks, repeat 3x.
Run to COT for Mary: flutters, gas pumpers, freddies.
Fini.

God often hides opportunities to be faithful. Don’t miss them

WARMUP:

Mosey around the parking lot admiring the new smooth pavement. Then some SSH, Windmill, Moroccan Nightclubs, Imperial Walkers & Hillbilly Walkers. Finishing with a mosey over to the band lot. Which it should be noted is not nicely newly repaved…

THE THANG:

Kind of a modified shuttle run design

From the end zone line, run to the other end zone and do one squat and run back.

Once back, run to the other end zone again, do one squat, bear crawl 10 yards, do 2 squats, then run back.

Once back, run to the other end zone again, do one squat, bear crawl 10 yards, do 2 squats, bear crawl 10 yards and do 3 squats, then run back.

Continue doing this until you are doing 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 squats, each with a 10 yard bear crawl on the return (so the return run gets shorter each revolution).

I interspersed some of this with a brief discussion of the impact of walking in faith in my life. God often presents opportunities that appear as struggles or obstacles/setbacks in our life. He never promised life would be easy, but did promise it is for a purpose. Life life with a purpose and faith in a bigger picture, and often you will see in hindsight, those obstacles were the refiners fire preparing you for opportunities you never even imagined.

Hebrews 12.1 says “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”

Choose Your Cluster

WARMUP:

THE THANG:
4 cluster of cones set up in the parking lot. 3 cones in each cluster. One exercise (and count) on each cone. Pax, OYO, run the loop through downtown Fort Mill, choose a cluster of cones, do the exercise in the cluster, then rinse and repeat.
