Repetition is always the precondition for success.

We spread the cards out, face down…then flipped them over and followed the commands . Example – 5 of Hearts – 5 Burpees; Queen of Clubs – 10 Merkins.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Temptation…it gets to all of us.  Key is to try to not not focus on the temptation…that only makes your brain think about it more. Rather, you should replace the temptation with a positive thought.  Temptation can drive your emotion, which drives your thoughts, which drives your actions, which determine who you are.

Mosey to CMU pile and while en-route do, side steps (both sides), Kerokee both sides, Crab walk (forwards and backwards), Bear crawl (forwards and backwards).

Shuttle Movin Hill Hundreds:

Each Him grabs a stack of six CMUs and carries them to the start of the hill bowl (starting marked on pavement).  Do 50 reps at the bottom of the hill at each pavement marked station, carry one cmu to the top of the hill and do another 50 reps of the same exercise.  Come down the hill to your CMU stack and move your cmu stack to the next station however you want and then start the next exercise marked on the pavement.  The exercises are:

  1. Merkins (alternate raised with cmu)
  2. Squats
  3. Thrusters

All exercises are with the cmu

MARY:
Ran out of time for Mary, so used up the time trying to finish.  At the Curl station, due to time we dropped the reps down to 25 (top and bottom).  Then At the American Hammer station we dropped it to 10. Then for Push Press’s and Rows we dropped it to 5, and were still over time.   For next time suggest only have 2 CMU’s per person and only do 25 reps for a total of 50 per shuttle station.
