Transparent Thought Life

WARMUP: 50xSSHIC followed by a short mosey to our first pain station.

THE THANG:
At the end of the warm-up mosey we found ourselves at the entrance to the loop at the front of the school.
Played Catch Me If You Can with the finish line being opening to the road that leads to the back of the school
Partner#1 Bear Crawled while Partner#2 performed 5 burpees and then moseyed to catch Partner#1. Continue to flapjack until you reach the finish line.

Nex, moseyed to the back of the school to use the benches and stairs. Reverse 1/2 Jack Webb: Started with 10 step-ups each leg and then went into 40 squats. We stopped after completing the 5 & 20 mark.

Next, moseyed to the playground for a Mini No-Run Dora.
Partner#1 moved into a straight arm plank position with feet in a swing – performed one knee tuck followed by a Merkin – that equals 1 rep – Partners need to complete accumulative rep count of 100. While Partner #1 performs the exercise, Partner #2 completes 10 pullups, returns to Partner #1 and flapjack until accumulative rep count is complete.

Finally, moseyed to COT from some AB work.

If during your childhood the holidays were nothing but joy and wonder—never realizing how many people spend this season hurting over loss, stress, or heartache—then what an amazing gift your parents gave you. Think about that now that we’re the men creating a holiday environment in the depths of winter for our families.
