1% better at Slow Burn

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to be given the Q stick at Slow Burn and challenged the Pax to get 1% better this AM. You see, status quo is comfortable and safe because it is known. Showing up to an AO offers disruption because you do not know what you will encounter from the Q. As a Fort Redwood I dont have tons of new ideas but I do challenge those in attendance to get better as I am confident that this momentum will carry you through the day as it has for me over the years.

WARMUP:
Mosey to Persis parking lot and circle up
Windmills x 10
SSH x 20
Mtn x 20
MNC x 10
IW x 10
Lets go!
THE THANG:
Mosey to Lowes with (3) stations. At each station, we completed max number of reps for each exercise within a minute. Pax were instructed to use sidewalk chalk to note their number

Station 1
Burpees
Flutters
WAM

Station 2
Lunges
Hammers
Diamond merkins

Station 3
CDD
Big Boy

Rinse and repeat but with a caveat to do 1 more rep of each exercise with a partner

MARY:
Twister on Gas Pumpers
Boogie Nights on LBCs
Barry Manilow on Dying Cockroaches
Assassin on Peter Pointers

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Prayers for safe travels, new jobs and for grace

Ran to wall beside Indian restaurant. Did 3 rounds of wall-sits with pax taking turns various things (burpees, runs to a manhole cover, and a round of Jack Reachers.

MARY:
Mosey back to COT for a bit of Mary. Maybe…or maybe we were at time.

YHC is always learning at these workouts. Today, I learned that none of the pax had any idea of the name of the closes galaxy outside of our own Milky Way. I also learned that you can’t talk about a manhole cover in a group of all men without there being some confusion on what is meant by that.

Great work by all men. So thankful to be a part of this F3 thing.
