THA-THANG:
Mosey down under the amphitheater and up towards the first bridge.
Last week at Asylum I learned about a circle burp- introduced it to the Big Ballers this morning:
Pax to the left of YHC begins with one burpee while everyone else is performing merkins. The burpee is then passed all the way around the circle. Once back to the beginning, burpees increase to 2. Repeat until everyone completes the round of 5 burpees. Pax switched from merkins to squats to diamond merkins to standing lunges.
Mosey down to the second creek greenway parking lot for a circle of pain: monkey humper.
Mosey to S7- prime for tailgating and prime for some makeshift CMUs with the large rock garden available.
Dora 123- partner up and complete 100 merkins, 200 LBC, 300 squats. To spice it up, each team has a rock they have selected from the rock garden. While the first partner is completing reps of the exercise, the other partner is completing a lap around the parking lot while carrying the selected rock
Mosey back up to the bridge over Cumberland for a quick ab circuit:
- 10x Freddy Mercury
- 10x Freddy Mercury reverse
- 10x Crunchy frog
- 10x Flutter kicks
- 10x BBSU
- 10x American Hammer
Mosey back down under the amphitheater. Just passed the Clinch bridge, go all out back to the flag.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 14- Jesus is exhausted and sorrowful when he finds out John the Baptist has been killed. He tries to withdraw but the crowds find him. Though facing the full range of human emotion he chooses to treat the crowd with compassion and performs the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000.
We often will face similar moments. People needing compassion and support even in moments when we feel completely poured out and unequipped. In those moments we can rely on Jesus. He knows, He challenges and He provides.
