NMM
The humidity was as high as the spirits this morning as we endured Wisdom by Walker and a couple solid bar jokes. I hope today’s workout was the hardest thing we do today, but most likely it won’t be. Maybe it’s a past due Honey-do list or a hard conversation with the M. When whatever that thing is manifests today or this week, I encourage you to attack it with the same vigor you attacked today’s beatdown. Do the hard thing today instead of letting it eat at you for weeks. You got this!

Once back to the school, we did a series of exercise combinations in the parking lot. Lunge walk, squats; Reverse lunge walk, Calf raises; Bear crawl, merkins; Crawl bear, CCDs; Crab walk, LBCs and Burpees broad jumps.
