11 Pax posted for our Saturday beat-down.
I hate burpees, so we knocked out the big rocks first:
10 burpees, 9 burpees, 8 burpee,…. etc and on with the pattern continuing down until there was nothing left and then we finished off with another.. 10 burpees.
Then we did short a short mosey to go warm up.
- Side straddle hop (20x)
- arm circles
- imperial walkers
- hillbillies
- peter parkers
- plank (1 minute)
Then a short mosey over to an animal planet:
- bear crawl (approx 15 yards out and then back)
- crab walk
- spider-man crawl
- bear again
Another short mosey:
We reflected on a conversation from Alice in Wonderland:
Alice: `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?’
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat.
`I don’t much care where–‘ said Alice.
`Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.
We tied this in to our purpose for where we are going with family, community, career, and more relevantly – how we can reflect on our direction in and purpose on this workout to strengthen our bodies to do more of God wants us to do.
We put this practice with a round of Merkin Tabata
Then to help us push through limits… we reflected on this recent article from the WSJ: The Mental Tricks of Athletic Endurance
Another round of Tabata but this time all 4 minutes were mountain climber.
Short mosey over to do a partner wheelbarrow out and back about 20 yards – 2x
Mosey back toward the flag. We slowed it down along the way with about 30 yards of Zombie walkers.
Final COP of abs:
8 more minutes of tabata with flutter kicks, american hammers and hello dollies mixed in.
And.. we closed out with Roxanne.
