ANNOUNCEMENTS: bethel, trash pickup
COT: Many men fail because worry convinces them not to act. Leadership often requires moving before certainty arrives.

Your body and brain are telling you something is out of place.

Acknowledge it and then identify an action you can take.

It may not immediately solve the problem, but It will keep you moving forward instead of getting stuck in the worry loop.

Matthew 6:34 – “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”

Slow mosey around the perimeter of the parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following
WARMUP:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 Windmills
  • 20 MNC
  • 15 Strawberry Pickers
  • 20 OH clamps

THE THANG:
5-25-250
In honor of Memorial Day (5-25) and the 250th Birthday of the United States of America
Run the WEP sidewalk loop. Start at the bathroom side so we get that nice uphill There are 11 swing stations. Run between stations. Stop at 10 of them, then do 25 reps of each of the 5 exercises at each of the 10.

  1. Merkins
  2. Mountain climbers
  3. LBC
  4. LSS
  5. Imperial walkers

At one station about halfway through we stopped to talk about the history of Memorial Day.
So mathing things out
5 exercises
25 reps each
10 stations
250 reps total of each exercise
By the time we got back around to the amphitheater it was 6am on the dot.

Simple yet effective. Repetition seems boring but doing max reps of an exercise, until it burns, builds tolerance, endurance, strength. We hit all major muscle groups. Got smoked.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter and get involved.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Family health issues, kids, parents, teachers finishing school; anniversaries; sons going into harm's way to help others; PAX health both mental and physical; and more.
