“Wolves Hunt the Rabbit”
There is a 100m parking lot that is divided by 7 parking lanes. PAX start on one end of the lot – we’re the Wolves. One PAX (Erector) is our Rabbit – he gets a head start and goes to line 3.
Game starts when the Wolves howl. The Rabbit does 12 Merkins then advances to the next line….12 merkins – advance again… Repeat, working toward the end of the lot. He’s trying to make it to safety.
The Wolves do 8 Merkins and advance – we’re trying to catch the rabbit (he gets a head start but does more Merkins). When a Wolf catches the Rabbit, he becomes a Rabbit and they all advance together (doing 12 Merkins together). Rabbits win if they make it to the other side. Wolves win if all Rabbits are caught by the last Wolf.
Repeat the game a few times with a new Rabbit and new exercise each round. Perform with;
- 4 / 6 Iron Mikes (both legs)
- 4 / 6 Flutter Kicks (4-count)
- 8 / 10 Mountain Climbers (4-count)
- 6 / 8 Squat jumps
Line up at one end of the lot – divide into two teams. Teams will race to the other side of the lot, sprinting diagonal routes between the parking lot islands. When you get to an island on the west side, perform 5 burpees. When you get to an island on the east side, perform 10 Dead Bugs (4-ct). Each team will end up doing 3 sets of each. First team to hit the other side wins.
Repeat the race – this time west side does 10 merkins, east side does 10 LBCs
Mosey around to the back of the cinema…
DORA – Partner 1 bear crawls to the base of the steps, runs to the top of the steps and back to Partner. Partner 2 performs exercise. Switchero.
- 50 Werewolves
- 100 Rosalitas
- 150 Mountain Climbers
Long mosey home….

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
For millennia, the wolf has been revered across cultures and civilizations as the epitome of the warrior spirit. They are intense, fierce, fearful, fascinating creatures and unique in many ways. Wolves are incredibly complex. They have a ferociousness about them – yet they also have a very empathetic spirit.
Did you know that within the animal kingdom, wolves are one of the only animals that practice adoption? When they stumble upon an orphaned pup – even if it belongs to a rival, wolves have been known to take them into their own den and raise them as their own. That is entirely unheard behavior for an apex predator. Wolves are excellent communicators with body language – understanding each other’s subtle movements. Wolves are also very socially smart. Within the wolf pack, they seem innately to understand the responsibilities the strong have to the weak, the full to the hungry, and the young to the old. Wolves are not afraid to show affection – licking, grooming, nuzzling and even nibbling one another.
How tenderhearted this fierce creature can be. Wolves are full of potential intensity – and full of empathy.
In that sense, men – I am asking you to act like a wolf;
- You all have the spirit and intensity of warriors. Continue to be strong in the ways that count – fiercely loyal to your pack, alert, vigilant, a protector, rock solid… Be as bold as a lion! (Proverbs 28:1). Be zealous for good works! (Titus 2:14). When life requires it of you, be ready to spring into action with a fierce intensity!
But SIMULTANEOUSLY… (here’s what we can learn from the wolf – and here’s the part that I need reminding of from time-to-time…)
- Be SOFT in the ways that count. Be tenderhearted with your family and loved ones. Show humility. Avoid arguing. Speak evil of no one. Have sympathy for those less fortunate. Be socially aware and alert to those around you. Demonstrate brotherly love. Be playful with your kids and patient with them. Show gentle affection to your wife and pamper her. Be emotionally available. (See Ephesians 4:32, Titus 3:2, 1 Peter 3:8, Colossians 3:12).
To be a wolf is to be a brave warrior, but it is also to be tender nurturer.
You are called to be both.
