PAX:Kimchi, Nhi, Chipper

As I reluctantly rolled out of the fartsack dreading the Louisiana humidity, this memory came to mind. Close to a decade ago, I did a research paper on Fitness and Nutrition and shadowed and exercised with a gymnast.  He told me I needed to stay three dimensional and maintain Discipline, Determination, and Dedication.   I couldn’t help but recognize the numerical significance behind F3, 3 Dimensions, and The Trinity. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 

With this scripture in mind, I roll up to the AO to start a morning with a PAX of, you guessed it, three.

Warm-Up:

Mosey to the tennis courts.

  • SSH x20 IC
  • Arm Circles x10 IC
    • Forwards, backwards, overhead
  • Butt Kicks (about 10 yards)
  • High Knees (about 10 yards)
  • Low Slow Squats x10

The Thang:

  • The Cooper: 10 Burpees, 10 Squats, 10 Merkins, run to batting cages for 9 Burpees, 9  Squats, 9 Merkins, back to Tennis courts for 8, 8, 8 and you get the idea.

Mosey to the Pull-Up bar (or PlayStation)

  • Six Pack: 1 Merkin, 5 Pull-Ups, 2 Merkins, 4 Pull-Ups, etc. until the value switches. Then back the other way from 5 Merkins, 1 Pull-Up to 1 Merkin, 5 Pull-Ups

Mosey to the parking lot

  • 6MOM: (well, a minute maybe) Flutter Kicks x20 IC, Pickle Pounders x20 IC, Freddie Mercury’s x20 IC

Counterama, Namerama, Announcements, and Ball of Man to wrap up the morning.

Nhi has a perfect attendance record and is an unmatched example of Dedication, Determination, and Discipline.  And he has 7 kids! And I’m nervous about my first one. Kimchi is a die hard 3D HIM who shows up for every workout even though he says he hates it.  I actually didn’t hear him say anything about hate today, even during Namerama (YHC was the sole sub-30 year old in the PAX).  I guess I’ll have to try harder next time.  I doubt I’d be out in the park at 5:30 AM if it weren’t for the HIM of TW, so I respect and stay grateful for these guys, always.
