Partners, Light poles and Blimps

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to the side of the school for exercises in cadence:
Windmills
Cherry pickers
Imperial walkers
Hillbilly walkers
Seal jacks
Side straddle hops

THE THANG: part 1 – partner up and either people’s chair or BTTW while partner 2 runs to the end of the lot and back. 3 rounds

Part 2 – Blimps at the light poles

At each pole pax added an exercise on the way up and dropped one on the way down. Burpees were never dropped – just because

5 – Burpees
10 – Lunges
15 – Incline Merkins
20 – Merkins (Modified to CDD’s on the downhill portion)
25 – Pulse squats AKA Monkey jumpers
30 – Squats

Two lessons from Seneca shared at the top of the hill

1 – we suffer more in our imagination than in reality

2 – he who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.

How often in our lives do we let our perception of events influence us poorly? Our response is all we control – the event doesn’t care how we feel about it.

After 11 light poles worth of “fun”……back to COT

MARY: Just enough time for protractors and rosalitas with just a few hello dolly’s. That took pax to 0715
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks for the call, Float Bridge. Honored to lead. :eye:

BHAG at the Hive

Leave a comment

YHC was making up for a missed Q two weeks ago due to sickness. As I was reviewing previous backblasts, I came up with a Big Hairy Audacious Goal for the workout to circle the entire FMHS while carrying the KB with pain stations along the way. I hadn’t seen it done so that was the plan.

Weather was perfect. Felt like an early Fall and time for college football.

WARMUP:

SSH x 10
Windmills x 10
Merkins x 10
Arm Circles x 10

THE THANG:

With the BHAG of circling the school, which is approximately 1.5 miles, we moseyed stopping (4) times for the following:

21 KB swings
18 Upright rows
15 Goblet squats
12 Curls
9 Tricep extensions
6 Manmakers

MARY:

Finished at the end with a circuit of the following:

LBCs
Flutters

Brought to you by the number 14

Leave a comment

Shared a quick message that we are not at the center of our universe. I’ve had lots of changes come my way in 2025 (some expected & some unexpected) and my decision making was made easier when I realize that I needed to put my faith and family first.
WARMUP: Merkins, squats, HWs, LBCs. All IC & reps of 14. Why 14 asked Bass? Because I wanted to honor the most recent win streak by the best team in MLB, my MILWAUKEE BREWERS!
THE THANG: jog to the track to find the gate locked. Guess we’ll have to pivot to some Lightpole fun. Run to first lightpole, do 10 merkins. Run back to startex. Run to 1st, do merkins, then 2nd light pole for 10 Bombjacks. Back and forth including squats at 3rd, LBCs at 4th, run to 5th. Then reverse the order and do the ladder again.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Invergence coming up, Bethel men’s shelter
COT: prayers for healing for families including Double D’s M.
