Goblet Squat
Curls
Lunge
Upright Row
Deadlift (with extra weight provided by Black Betty and John Henry to feel the form)

Run break for some Cardio between Row and Deadlift

COT: Discussion of Courtesy. I was a Boy Scout ages ago and I always wondered why the Scout Law listed that a Scout was both Courteous and Kind. Aren’t those the same thing. Now that I’m older, I see that Courtesy is how you treat someone and Kindness is why you treat someone that way. You can be courteous without being kind (see the Southernism ‘Bless your heart’) and kind without being courteous (Papalock used the example of the old man in the movie Gran Tarino). Courtesy helps people interact without misunderstandings. I used the example of the internet as an area where Courtesy can be lacking and it be source of contention and strife. Ocho pointed out that both Courtesy and kindness can be viewed as proceeding from viewing everyone as made in God’s image and worthy of that respect.

Pray. It seems too simple and easy to be effective, but it’s not and it is. Don’t let the apparent ease of taking a few minutes stop you from doing it at all. Don’t let a high standard keep you from something simple. Prayer is the one thing we can always lean on.
