Loops around Gardenia. Oof!
WARMUP: Mosey to behind Empire for COP with various exercises in cadence including; SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers and a question answered incorrectly by the PAX. Therefore…..5 burpees OYO.
THE THANG: 3 lessons – 3 stations
Lesson 1 – The examined life is the one most worth living. We don’t learn from our experiences. We learn by reflecting on our experiences, then hopefully applying the learning in a positive way lest we repeat failure.
Lesson 2 – Mosey to the corner of Lowe’s: Today’s habits are tomorrow’s influence. Our “ordinary” is what others see. Our children and those we influence will emulate us. Why? They learn by watching us. And more are watching than we realize. More on that in lesson 3
11’s were called (month of November) – Hand-release merkins on one side and Makhtar Ndiayes on the other. Barry Manilow was highly pleased. PAX did this exercise together at three different points behind Lowe’s until the mulch piles were reached.
Lesson 3 – 2.8 – We influence an average of 2.8 people per day. In our lifetimes – it adds up to between 10,000 and 80,000 people. Our ripple effect matters – how are you cascading your influence? 3 series of 8 flying squirrels and 2 super slow burn squats with modes of transport varying between lunge walks and jogs.
A mosey to the grassy area near COT for Knee-tar Ndiayes and monkey humpers.
A mosey to behind Chik Fil A where we took geometry class by doing protractors, hello dolly’s and rosalitas depending on the angle.
A mosey back down the hill to COT and, according to Barry Manilow – it looked like we made it.
MARY: No time – open to all men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Of course
COT: Will always be the 5th core principle
PAX were challenged to be a stone in someone’s life. At an age range of 47-58, there is insight to be shared and others will benefit. Being that somebody by serving in this capacity is taking one meaningful step toward leaving our world better than we found it.
The lessons shared served as a reminder to the importance of the roles we serve in our homes and communities. They learn by watching us. Always.
Thanks for the call, Peach Stand.
Honored,
Cyclops

WARMUP: ssh, wind mills, imp walkers, plank, up and down dog, Peter Parker’s
THE THANG: we moseyed one lap around the large loop around the pond and LPL (counter clockwise) starting at cot. We stopped at every other street light and did some exercises
Along the first road ( through the row of restaurants, etc) we did 1 burpee, 2 bomb jacks, 3 big boys, 4 merkins and 5 squats
Along the second road towards the back of Kingsley, we did all the previous things, and added 6 side straddle hops.
We stopped along the way at the rip rap for a quick and painful interlude where we each grabbed a rock and carried it over our heads up to the LPL parking sign and back. We then continued our journey.
Along the next road, across the back of LPL, we did the previous 6 exercises at the designated street lights and added 7 monkey humpers.
Finally, along the road back to cot, we did these same 7 exercises, but doubled the rep count of each
We did one last set when we arrived back at cot and then we caught our breath, wiped the sweat from our brows and enjoyed the sunrise.

We did a little warmup with the usual exercises. I proceeded to introduce the topic for thought. What costume are you wearing? Are you being an imposter?
Mosey over to the first stop for some 4 corners. 3 exercises then a lap around the parking lot. Kinda went like this merkins, mtn climbers, shoulder taps 10,15,20. Take a lap. Squats, monkey humpers, calve raises 10,15,20. Take a lap. LBCs, American hammers, flutters 10,15,20. Take a lap. Side straddle hops, over head claps,Moroccan night clubs 10,15,20. Take a lap. Mosey to the next spot behind Lowe’s. Rail work with dips, irkens, derkins with a bear crawl across lot. Headed to the wall for some sitting and merkins. Back to COT for the finale. Wrapped it up with we should be putting on the full armor of God and not covering ourselves up with costumes. Eph. 6:12-24
