Three lessons and……burpees

WARMUP: Mosey to Kimbrell’s parking lot. The following exercises in candence with burpees in between.

Windmills
Cherry Pickers
Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
Seal Jacks
Side Straddle Hops

THE THANG: Mosey to the site formerly known as Footloose

Lesson 1 – Treat the body rigorously so it does not fail the mind.

Partner DORA – 50 burpees, 100 squats, 150 flutter kicks

Mosey to the top of the hill at the parking lot on Monroe White for lesson 2.

Lesson 2 – You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

7’s in the lot – Burpees on one end, NUR to the other lunges on the opposite end. Note – Tesla is fast.

Mosey to Print Shop parking lot for LBC’s in cadence and rosalitas in cadence.

Mosey to the Millstone downtown. Touch the Millstone and do two burpees.

Mosey to the Parking Lot on Massey for Lesson 3

Lesson 3 – You should not give circumstances the power to rouse anger. For they do not care at all.

19 merkins of different types at each light pole.
This idea looked better on paper than in reality and the 559 bell rang while in the midst of attempting completion of these. PAX headed back to COT to make the 0600 deadline.

MARY: Was left at the Print Shop
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter

BushHolePit. Best if used on or before 08/13/25.

17 men, 3 Ruckers and 14 of The Ungovernable, came to BushHolePit to celebrate National Left-Handers Day. Or just to workout. Whichever.

WARMUP:
Like we needed it warmer out there. But we did do a little moseying, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.
THE THANG:
We went the long way around the school (is there a short way?) stopping for some things along the way. Some Dora, some bear crawls, dips, step-ups, muscle ups, etc. You know what we DIDN’T stop for? Pull-ups? Why? Because the AO got all bougie and walled them off from us peasants. Oh well. I would elaborate on this mornings festivities, but I made no weinke and I am not smart enough to recall all the things.

All you need to know is Birdcage was there and you probably weren’t, so you missed out. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. Love him.

Ok, back to life.
MARY: No chicks.
