It’s been awhile. Had my third child, Anna Joy Rinaldi, and been anxious to get back. I’ve had this idea in my head about the pain of isolation, as I certainly experienced this while having to step away from F3, making sure Anna, my M Sloane and family were taken care of in her early months.

THE WARMUP (10 in cadence except burpees) – Side Strapple hops, burpees (5), plank jacks, burpees (5), and peter parkers

Mosey….

THE THANG – Dubbing it now as The Isolation Train. Each HIM in plank position. One HIM runs around the building, all other HIMs do shoulder taps until returns. this is repeated, with next exercise being mountain climbers, then left foot to right hand, right foot to left hand, until all 13 HIMs have completed…Analogous God’s mercy and grace, through in some isolated LBCs…We moseyed back to the  starting point after doing a lap, to the next part – The Isolation Wall. Similar to the Isolation Train, Each Him would be inverted on the Wall. This time, two HIMS would run at a time around the wall, until all completed 2X. The exercises would be Hip Slappers, Donkey Kicks, and Jock Straps (my version of Ballz ;-)) to the Wall… Again analogous of God’s mercy and grace, through in some wall sits to ease the should stress…All HIMs returned back to the where we had completed The Isolation Train and repeated it. This time with two running together around the building, while others completed shoulder taps, mountain climbers, etc…We mosey’d back to the starting point to wrap up with two exercise symbolizing the power of sharing each other’s burdens and being there for one another through struggles. Each group of two did patty cake merkins and hand shake squats…Dolph concluded us with Big Boy Situps.

I spoke about the theme of isolation…Asking the question of where do we often carry our burdens? With HIMs answering on our shoulders…And where was the focus of the workout?….Shoulders!!!

There’s so much good that comes when we come alongside each other and share each others burdens, be there in times of need, celebrate in God’s many ways of blessing us.

That’s the dilly dilly!!!
