NMM
Throughout the workout, we stopped and talked about our favorite teachers throughout school. We talked about what made them great and how they shaped who we are today. Some leaders set the example for what you want to become, while others set the example of what to avoid. We have the same opportunity daily with our children. We should strive to be the best example possible. Keep pushing yourself for betterment and your children will see the example they should follow.

Aye!

LR Clowncar beatdown

WARMUP: Disclaimer brought to you by Slow Jams then an introduction to my fellow CO Q’s and the theme of the beatdown, Accountability, was explained and what that means to me. Followed by some in cadence exercises and stretching.
THE THANG: Mosey to bus loop where Slow Jams called curb 7’s. Starting with 1 curb dip, bearcrawl out to next curb for 6 incline merkins, crabwalk back. So on and so forth.
Cubbie was next up. He provided his insights on our group and where accountability plays its part. Mosey to pull up bars for partner station work. 1st station – 10 pull ups, 2nd station – 25 WW1 sit-ups, 3rd station – 25 leg lifts, 4th station – 25 v-ups, 5th station – 25 lbc, 6th station – 25 dragon flutters. Following the completion of all stations we then took a mosey to front entrance hill.
Skipper then took the helm. He zeroed in on a stoicism based message that aligned with accountability in your personal actions. We then proceeded with 5’s from light pole to light pole with lunges and jump squats. Final mosey to the band lot where Half Shell finished with a final message on how our accountability plays an important role in keeping him on track. He thanked us with 50 yard sprints and exercises that summarized the entire workout. 25 CDD’s, 25 Merkins, 25 BBS, 25 Superman’s, 25 Squats, 25 calf raises.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: bethel men’s, stuff the bus, tortoise and hare, blood drive
COT: we all got an opportunity to share what was weighing on our hearts and minds. Because after all, we are men and whether we like it or not, we can’t fix everything on our own. Don’t be ashamed to be vulnerable and reach out for help!
