COT:
Be honest with others but more importantly be honest with yourself. Honest about what you need to work on to improve. Encouraged all to look inward and find something we can improve about ourselves, if we look honestly at ourselves.
After the preliminaries were pronounced, we warmed up our arms and shoulders. Then we leaned out into some Willie Mayes Hayes.
When we were starting to get stretched, we moved the pack to the back porch.
THE THANG:
For our workout, we committed to 9 exercises for 40 second durations followed by a 20 second rest between each exercise. After completing the 9 exercises, we prep for 20 seconds and then started over. We worked that circuit 4 times.
Some people call that a “Tabata” or something. We just called it repetition and consistency.
The exercises were:
– HIGH KNEES
– SQUATS
– PLANK JACKS
– MERKINS
– MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
– APOLLO ONOS
– AMERICAN HAMMERS
– PICKLE POINTERS
– HELLO DOLLYS
MARY:
At the end we saved 4 precious minutes to spend with our girl, Mary. We (by which I mean I) decided to call out exercises that hit any muscle group we’d missed in our Thang. It was glorious. We worked our backs with some basilisks. We did some side crunches to hit those obliques. We tested our coordination and mental resilience with some Projectivators. And we ended the round with a particularly sinister round of shoulder burn.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
My word was a simple encouragement to not give up on doing good. As men, and particularly as men of faith, we must not let off the gas. We must do the same simple (right and good) things over and over. It’s our liturgies that are making us, not we who are making our liturgies.
