F3 Christmas Tree

Start with the base of the tree, Route 66.

Along the Greenway at the front of the Asylum.  At the first light pole perform a Candlestick Burpee (at the end of the burpee, jump up like a candle, with hands straight up hands clapped above your head).  Add 1 rep at each successive light pole until you get to 11 reps.  When finished, run back to the beginning and plank until the 6 arrives.

Mosey to the rock pile behind the Asylum.  Grab a rock and perform the following exercises.  In between each round, run down to the tree and back:

  • Round 1 (x15 reps of each): Narrow Squats, Bent Over Rows, Forward Lunges, Overhead Press, Jump Squats.
  • Round 2 (x20 reps of each): Narrow Squats, Bent Over Rows, Forward Lunges, Overhead Press
  • Round 3 (x25 reps of each): Narrow Squats, Bent Over Rows, Forward Lunges
  • Round 4 (x30 reps of each): Narrow Squats, Bent Over Rows
  • Round 5 (x35 reps of each): Narrow Squats
  • The Star: 40 Merkins.

Mosey to the front of the Asylum, stop at the orange cones.

 

Elf Runs
In order for the big guy to have a successful night, the elves have to be ready to move fast and do some work.  Elf runs are one of their key off-season training tools.

Set up like suicide runs with a baseline and 5 cones in a row.  Run to the furthest cone and back, do 10 merkins. Then run to the second furthest cone and back do another 10 merkins. Rinse and repeat for each of the cones.

Mosey to hill on the right side of the Asylum.

 

The Grinch’s Legs
We all want the strength the Grinch gets when he saves Cindi on the sleigh right?  Perform the following, then run to the top of the hill and touch the curb

  • Jump Squats x10
  • Side Lunges x 10 each side
  • Reverse Lunges x10 each leg

Rinse and repeat.

Mosey to the SP

Deuteronomy 30:19 – “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live“

This morning got up and enjoyed the crisp air with great men under a beautiful sunrise because we have a Creator who loves us and loves show us that love through his creation.  Every day we have the opportunity to enjoy those gifts, but we must make the choice to embrace them.  Seize every moment you can to pour life, love, grace and truth into those around you.

Courage: Courage is what allows you to remain calm while recognizing fear. Moral courage means having the inner strength to stand up for what is right and to accept blame when something is your fault. Physical courage mean that you can continue to function effectively when there is physical danger present.

Gain courage to overcome the aspects of life that cause you to fear by DOING them. Continue to do the things that cause you fear until you can complete the task without having fear.

The secret to growth is movement.  Whether it’s physical, mental, relational or spiritual it’s not enough to talk about change, you have to put it into action!

James 1:19-25
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.”

 

MOLESKIN
Intimate crew this morning, but the 5 HIMs gave it 100% and crushed the morning!  It was great to meet Dorothy, glad he could make it in from Albany.  Hopefully work will bring him back soon.
