Fitness, Fellowship, Faith

Day: November 25, 2017

Thanks are given

The regularly appointed time for today’s workout was delayed until 7am due to the fact that it was Thanksgiving! Hope you guys enjoyed the extra sleep. This holiday can be minimized or overlooked sometimes but it is a important day to reflect and recognize all that the Lord provides us. We should never take all of our blessings for granted, especially one as awesome as the opportunity to work our bodies. Let’s get it on!

Pledge of Allegiance

Warmup

Goofballs x15IC

Shoulder Presses x15IC

Grass Pokers x10IC kind of

Mosey up the road but then a quick about face down to the bridge to Goat Island.

Thang part one

Bear Crawl the wooden span of the bridge to the other side. Once the six arrives perform about 10 Fairy Jacks IC. Then karaoke to the bridge at the other side of the island. Crab Walk the span of this bridge and plank for the six. Mosey across the bridge then karaoke to the other bridge, cross it for more Fairy Jacks. Bear Crawl the length of the bridge again and plank for the six. Skip (yes like when you were a kid) all the way to the other bridge.  Crab Walk this bridge again then mosey down to the parking lot.

Thang part two

Doracides – Partner up and do cumulative 100 World War II situps, 200 Peter Parkers, 300 Dying Cockroaches and 400 LBCs. While partner 1 exercises the other does suicide runs to the first light pole, then the second, then to the end of parking lot (not the next light since there wasn’t one!). This six pack maker should help with the mega meals we were sure to indulge in later on.

We finished with just enough time to mosey back to the start.

Announcements and Prayer Requests

Great work today men. I’m still sore. You are all awesome and I am Thankful for you friendship!

Getting those legs warmed up!!

7 HIM blew back the covers of the fartsack to show on a cold brisk morning at the Yank. Our resident mumble chatter (Tool Time) getting over his sickness, I was sure to get a laugh or two. Orangeman showed with a surprise FNG, his twin brother, up from the Atlanta area. The morning was sure to be fun! With Broke, Slim Shady and DR Seuss ready to go as well we started.

Slim Shady stepped up and guided us through some yoga plank moves. Being halfway through the workout we devided into teams and played some Frisbee rules football. Not keeping score we had a blast chasing a slippery and hard football around. 15 Min. to go, we mosey to the picnic shelter for some merry. Everyone took a turn calling out an exercise. A few Burpees, Al Gore, Step-ups, Derkins, Diamond Merkins, Cherry Pickers, and some Dips, we mosey to the statue for the COT and naming our FNG.

5 Principles

14 showed at Midoriyama on Tuesday. I figured since we had a SFN race coming up we might as well get in some more running.

Pledge

Warmup:

I asked one PAX to give me a core principle of F3.

We did a few warmup exercises and then we started the mosey.

The Thang:

We moseyed across the road to the new loop. Stopped and done some core work while we waited on the 6. Moseyed some more. As we came to some of the fences we did lunges(forward and backward) and some bearcrawls. We also stopped a few times for more core work. During some of these stops I would call on another PAX to tell us another core principle. We made our way back across the street to the shed for stepups and dips. We moseyed back to the main drag. Starting at one end we moseyed to the other stopping at each light pole for 5 jump squats. Once complete we made our way back to the flag.

COT:

Announcements: SFN Christmas Town race, Christmas party 12/1, Convergence and OST collection 12/2. Pizza Man is collecting used shoes to donate. Be on the lookout for him.

Prayer Request and Prayer

Moleskin:

5 core principles

  1. Free
  2. Open to all Men
  3. Held outdoors, rain or shine, hot or cold,
  4. led in a rotating fashion by the men that participate
  5. Must end in a COT
