Gal 2:20 Now…REPEAT the full routine – starting over with your rep count
I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me
and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave His life for me.

From AW Tozer, Crucified Life: last time I spoke of living the crucified life – it has a currency. We have to give some things up. Pay something.  This is not salvation – Jesus Christ paid that price in full, but for our sanctification, it costs something.
We looked at Fun
Also consider: Safety |Convenience |Popularity| Worldly Success

Let me be clear, these are not things we have to give up – but if God asked us to, would we.
Would we write the check that says.
All our security and safety?

It would be safer to be at a gym where no one is going to ask you to lead
It would be safer to store up more treasures on earth in case things fall apart in the future
It would be safer to stay in comfortable, familiar settings and not risk it

It would be safer to not go on that missions trip.

It would have been safer for Bonhoeffer to stay in England and not fight the evil of Nazi Germany.
But God calls us to live the crucified life because it is worth it. Eternity is on the line

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the new building.

The goal was to go around the building and perform the exercises that were indicated in each of its 7 entrances. The number of repetitions will be dictated by throwing a dice. We repeated the loop twice and the destiny decided to beat us with 20 repetitions each time :). Below the exercises.

  • Squats.
  • Lunges.
  • Burpees.
  • Derkins & Toe Merkins.
  • Box jumps & Dips.
  • BBS.
  • Heels to heaven.

Mosey the CMU pile.

The goal here was to do an inverse ladder with exercises using a CMU and then going up the hill to do some pull-ups. Below the exercises:

  • At the top of the hill we will start with 10 pull-ups and decrease by 1 each time.
  • At the bottom we will perform the following exercises with a CMU: bicep curls, triceps and over-head press. We started at 20 and decrease by 2 each time.

We were not able to complete the whole ladder due to timing restrictions :).

MARY:
We let the dice decide the number of repetitions of each exercise. We did some push-ups and some burpees.

  • Word

“Practice makes progress, not perfection.”

“The comeback is always stronger and more redemptive than the setback.”

I think these two things tie in very well to this metric workouts that we are completing together this year. If you come out here wanting to crush it and have a perfect workout every single time you’ll be disappointed. If you come out here and want to get 1% better and engage in progressive, incremental growth, your ROI will increase tenfold. 

What’s for dinner?
