Stick a Fork in 2024

No FNGs so the disclaimer was light. It was concluded that we could sue <@U01CGBKBQ64> if things went sideways, but we decided against it since he was our gratuitous host this morning.

Quick warmup and we were off. Is was discussed that the toilet water in Australia flushes backwards, so we decided treat The Australian Mountain Climber the same.

Moseyed across 160 for 4 corners of pain. We did 24 reps of the 4 exercises to pay homage to 2024. Then we obviously did 6 laps because 2 + 4 =6. It’s science.

Back to COT for announcements/prayers.

30/30 Round 2

It was a crisp morning at <#C055Y70G5QE> and the Pax were fired up for some 30/30!

1st F
Run 10 yard and nur back 5 yards with adding a burpee at every 10 yard line.

Topics What does living out your beliefs look like? What does your life look like when you are aligned with your beliefs and what does it look like when you are not?

We all agreed that whatever your beliefs are, it needs to come from a place of love. The meaning of love according to Bishop Robert Barren is to will the good of the other. When you are taking steps towards love, you are taking steps towards God, because God is love.
It is most important to show love to kids because studies have shown that kids brains get wired at a young age. A pathway of love at a young age is setting the ripple effect of a child in the proper trajectory toward a life of love.

We also touched on the idea that where sin abounds, grace abounds more. The grace that we have been given by our creator is not ment to be held onto, it is ment to be given away. The spiritual physics is the more grace you give away, the more you are given in return. When we hold onto that grace, we are turning that free gift into sin.

Nice work done by all! God bless!!

Rotating Bells of Pain

It was a rainy morn at The Pit of Snakes and the pax were fired up. A quick warmup and we were on our way.

Thang:
There were three bells this morning where the pax rotated around. Two of the bells were on one side of the parking lot and the third was on the other.

The HIM with the two bells would do man makers, while the third pax was the timer and ran across the parking lot to the third bell, where a plethora of KB exercises awaited. The timer would do 10 reps of an exercise and run back to rotate with the other two pax.

10 KB Swings
10 OH Press
10 Figure 8s
10 Goblet Squats
10 Lunges
10 U Hauls
10 Curls
10 Scull Crushers
10 Flutters
10 Chest Presses

Back to COT for prayers and praises.
