Practice Makes Permanent

THE SCENE: Upper 60’s, clear, humid as always
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH x 15, Rockettes x 10, Tempo Squats x 10, Arm Circles x 10 forward and backward, Shoulder Taps x 10, Phelps, This and That, Cherry Pickers x 5

Then we ran a lap around the park and headed over to the parking lot
THA-THANG:
For the workout we did one minute of an exercise, followed by a run out and back across the parking lot, followed by 15 seconds of rest before moving on to a minute of another exercise. I encouraged all of us to spend that minute focused on performing each exercise with as close to perfect form as possible, not worrying about how many reps we got done. Better to do 10 perfect push ups than 20 half hearted ones here

  • The exercises we did were: Burpees, Squats, Cobra Merkins, Big Boys, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Plank Shoulder Taps, American Hammers, Hand Release Merkins, 6 Point Lunges, Catalina Wine Mixers, LBCs, Wideout Merkins, Sumo Squats, and Plank Rotations

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was reminded not too long ago of a coach I had in high school who would always say to us “Practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect.” If we spend every workout doing rushed, poor-formed exercises then we’re only training ourselves to continue to do rushed, poor-formed exercises. That mentality applies to the rest of our lives as well. If we approach our families, marriages, churches, jobs, etc. with rushed, poor-formed actions we’re only cultivating flawed families, marriages, churches, jobs, etc. So not only in our workouts, but also in our lives as well, lets all focus on going through the entire motion, digging deep, taking the time to do things right, and training ourselves to do the right thing, since we know that practice makes permanent, not perfect.

Psalm 83:1-3
1 O God, do not remain silent;
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,
how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.

Discussed the need to trust in the Lord and bring our cares to him, rather than trying to argue with those around them thinking we’ll change their mind – God is in control and we need to have Him change hearts

“A man’s pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.”
Proverbs 29:23 NASB
“When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom.”
Proverbs 11:2 NASB
“Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.”
James 4:10 NASB
Pride is probably one of the world’s greatest evils. Just recently I witnessed a very prideful individual who it seemed wanted nothing more than exalting themselves. But then it hit me, I am walking a dangerous line myself. I was thinking to myself, as I noticed this person, “I don’t have that problem”. When I had this thought, I was exalting myself as better than them. Instead, I should be recognizing my own shortcomings and working on my own humility. It is not up to us to lift-up ourselves up or praise ourselves for the things we accomplish. We need to instead give God the glory and He will exalt us when the time comes (James 4:10).
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
July 7th YHC will be handing off the shovel flag to Snaggletooth, who will be taking over as site Q.

Off The Chain CSAUP at the Dogpound July 18th.
