Comfort Zone

While I’ve posted at Bulldog and Painlab in the past, I’ve never had a Q at either one. I was a little concerned about whether or not I had enough planned to fill the time, and also if the Weinke would challenge the PAX that would assemble. Too late to worry about it now, the time has arrived and there are 12 PAX itching to get in some work. Everyone grabbed two bricks from my truck (to be used for all exercises) and after a short warmup we got started.

Partner Alarms

One partner lunge walks across the drive and back while the other does the exercise until the total cumulative reps are reached.

A – Shoulder press x100

L – Squats x150

A – Flutter kicks (bricks above chest) x200

R – Randy’s (arm flutters) x250

M – Mountain Climbers x300

Part one is complete, so let’s do a little station work. 5 Stations are set up along the drive with three exercises listed for each station. PAX completes the first exercise at a station and then moves to the next. After completing all 5 stations, move to second exercise and repeat, etc…..No walking from station to station, PAX choice of bear crawl, crab walk or lunge walk.

Station 1 – Tricep Extension x25, Curls x25 each arm, Chest press x50

Station 2 – American Hammers x25, LBC’s x50, Nolan Ryan’s x15 each side

Station 3 – Moroccan Nightclubs x25, Sun Gods x25, Front raise x25

Station 4 – Seal Jacks x25, Man Makers x5, Shoulder taps x25

Station 5 – Sumo Squats x25, Dying Cockroach x25, WWI’s x10

Everyone made it through all the exercises at least once. Time to put up the bricks and finish off with a couple of minutes of Mary.

Comfort Zone

As I mentioned, this was my first Q for a low impact type workout, so I was definitely outside my comfort zone this morning. So why do it? When we stay in our comfort zones we fail to reach our full potential, struggle with reaching our goals and fall short of living our lives as God intended us to. The next time you are faced with an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, draw strength from the following verse:

2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power, and love, and self control.”
