THE SCENE: For the 4th Charmin Q in a row, we’ve got rain. At least it’s warm. Shorts and T-shirt warm.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Pretty basic. SSH x 25 (4 ct), IC; ISW x 20, IC; BAC, forward and backwards.
THA-THANG:
It’s raining, of course, so that means Pavalon. We’re all about Tabata this morning. At least there’s music. We’ve got 8 different exercises, 8 cycles for each exercise before moving on to the next. 1 cycle=20 seconds on, 10 second rest. The exercises
- Bobby Hurleys
- Merkins
- Flutter Kicks and Hello Dollies on alternate cycles
- Forward Lunges and Side Lunges on alternate cycles
- Table Rows (8 cycles were rough!)
- American Hammers
- Calf Raises
- Mountain Climbers
Did I mention there was a topical playlist? There was! See Moleskin for the songs and artists. Waffle House was the first to note the theme, at song #3.
MARY:
Post Tabata, we wall sat for a bit, doing some Thunderclaps, since we were listening to Thunderstruck. Then we finished strong with the Howling Monkey.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
14 strong!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. addressed the criticism he faced (from well meaning Christian ministers) for pushing for civil rights advancement too fast rather than letting things happen “in their own time.” His response: The notion that time itself heals all wounds is a myth. Time is neutral. The passage of time can be used constructively or destructively; by people of ill will as well as good will. “We must come to see that huma progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God [i.e. HIMS!]. . . We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”
