Stairs are fun

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We got our getty up on right out of the gate with a mosey around the big church parking lot and back to COT. SSH we’re up next, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, and finished up with honeymooners and down dogs.
THE THANG: took off from COT over to the church down the street where we paired up for some Dora. Partner one ran around the church but then up and down the big set of steps before tagging partner 2.

Dora 1 was: 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 shoulder taps.

Moved to spot #2 which was the big parking lot across from the stairs that have all the steps and about 8 sets you can snake. We changed up Dora partners for Dora #2.

Dora 2 was: 100 lunges, 200 American hammers, 300 calf raises.

Changed to last set of partners where we made our way back to COT. On the way back we found the small set of stairs at the church by the ramp and snaked those with our partners, then over to Church of God big set of steps where we snaked all those sets of steps with our partners. Then back to COT.

MARY: Around the circle for Mary call outs. Pretty sure this was Hemingway’s first time calling cadence and he’s potentially got a career here. Unlike his old man, he called something other than gas pumpers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2Dbar big pickups
COT: Prayers for Slash and his family

Mississippi Mud

Leave a comment

It was a chilly morning in The Fort, but the firey mumble chatter kept us all warm. So did the pain!

After a plethora of warmup exersices we were off for some wall work.

The Ascending Testicles (not so distant cousin to Balls to the Wall)

15 Degrees – 10 Derkins
45 Degrees – 10 Derkins
Balls to the Wall – 10 Derkins

Then a round of The Australian (aka decline mountain climbers

We then moseyed over to the track to celebrate the birthday of our beloved state Mississippi.
Fun Facts: Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state on December 10th 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Mississippi is known for being the birthplace of American blues music and is also famous for its fertile soil, which makes it an agricultural powerhouse, as well as for its catfish farming industry.

The Thang:
18 of one exercise, run half a lap around the track. Then 17 of the same exercise, and run the other half of lap (year 1817). We worked our way all the way down the list.

YHC was reminded yesterday that someone is always watching you. Whether its your Concentrica, the Pax or work colleagues, you have infinite opportunity to influence others positively or negatively. The choice is yours. As leaders, ask yourself after interactions with other people “How do they feel after speaking with me?” Did you lift them up or bring them down? Set the temperature for others. Be the light!
