Grating of Cheese

We started the workout off this morning with some foreign concept…this thing called stretching, and the PAX dug it.

7s – Burpees and squats with a loop around the parking lot in between each set.

The Cheese Grater – This was a fan favorite this morning. It is similar to an Indian Run :running: but you are planking with bear crawls and pushups. It was terrible as Sir Charles says.

Dora: Partner 1 – 100 flutters, 200 Hello Dollies, and 300 LBCs. Partner 2 – Run a lap around CVS.

Back to COT for prayer slow and praises.

Prayers for Half Shell’s mom, Charlie Kirk, family, and country.
