YHC pulled in at Midoriyama a little early to get some cones set up and low and behold there’s HUCKLEBERRY! No better place to kick off a 40 day challenge than the AO most famous for mumble chatter, whining, heat and of course the JV style workouts. PAX continue to roll in and when 17:30 hits we’ve got a total of 13 seasoned professionals ready to put in some work. After the short version of the disclaimer and the pledge, we skip the warmup and head out.

 

Mosey to the small soccer field and circle up for a countdown. Four exercises, all done IC, starting with 10 reps and working all the way down to 1. We did these quick with no rest between exercises and it definitely got the blood flowing. Exercises were SSH’s, Merkins, LBC’s and Low Slow Squats.

 

Next up was a “modified” version of Rugby Sprints. PAX perform called core exercises until YHC says go, then run a suicide to the cones set up across the field. Instead of the normal walking to cool down, run a lap around the entire field. Three rounds of this with Flutter kicks, American Hammer’s and Rosalita’s. This routine gassed everyone pretty good, so YHC decided this would be a good time for a little talk.

 

The Q Source discussion last week was on Candor and how a virtuous leader is not only willing to tell others the hard truth, but is willing to hear it. After leaving Q Source YHC started to think about something else…What does it mean to be candid with ourselves? Is our perception of ourselves accurate, or is it some kind of story that is running through our heads? Take some time this week to step back and take an honest look at yourself and determine what you need to do to make yourself better. Now back to our regular scheduled programming…

 

More suicides!!! Run to first cone, do 5 reps of called exercise, then back to the start for a burpee. Run to the second cone, do 10 reps, then back for a burpee. Continue with 15 reps at third and 20 reps at far cone. Two rounds total, HR Merkins and Big Boy’s.

 

Back to the flag for 6 minutes of Mary and we’re done.
