YHC was coming in hot this morning having just finished the “Not-So-CSAUP CSAUP” (see backblast for it) I was rucking in at 7:01 to find the pax were ready and waiting.  Thanks to Gastone for keeping them occupied with some SSH.  Very brief thank you was given for all those participating in the CASUP – we collected over 12 bags of trash in just 90 mins.

 

Warm-up

LBCx20

That’s enough – we split into pain lab (Watts Up Q)  and bootcampers following me to the Grier track with a quick stop at the wall for 10 or so Hip slappers.

 

Thang:

10 exercises AMRAP for 1 min with 100yard run in between all exercises. Before each exercise was announced the pax were given the opportunity to earn immunity by answering Christmas movie trivia questions.  We found out that Stroganoff in addition to being an outstanding Nantan and CEO of GSM, also knows his Christmas movies earning 3 of the 10 immunities (yet he still performed most of the exercises anyway- what a HIM!)

Exercises included:

Plank Jacks

SSH

Flutter Kicks

Bobby Hurley

Diamond Merkins

Mountain Climbers

American Hammers

Peter Parkers

Monkey Humpers

LBCs

With just 20 min left we then divided up into two teams and played some ultimate football – good guys won by a narrow margin

 

Mosey back to Gashouse for one last surprise exercise – We all gathered around and did up/downs to Tubthumping – basically do one up/ down every time the words “I get knocked down” are sung.  This took us to time

COT – What a positive impact the 40/50 day challenge has been.  I noted that although we not have stuck to the diets as well as we liked, we all learned a lot about ourselves what it takes to lead a disciplined life to get our bodies in better shape.  When we get knocked down we need to get back up again!  I then emphasized that we take what we learned from this challenge and apply it to other aspects of our lives – namely growth in mental, emotional and spiritual health.
