Slow Mosey to the CMU’s, and everyone takes one.
Take half the blocks to the swings, and half the blocks to the pull up bars.  Divide into two groups, one group has three guys to swing pullups, while the onlookers do rows.  Rotate in an out until the second group arrives to relieve you.  The second group is at the pull up bars.  Perform 10 Pullups or 10 negatives (jumping up and slowly coming down).  The onlookers perform lawn mowers.  After everyone does 10, rotate to the swings.  Rinse and repeat 3 times.  After three rotations, we did some curls and bench press with the CMU’s before putting them away.

Dream big.  Jesus did more than was expected he saved lives, he performed miracles, he did more than anyone could even imagine.  The challenge for each of us to to step outside our normal thoughts and think bigger.  How can we dream big, what do we need to push out of the way to open our minds?

Mosey to the Merkin Mile
1st round
Pair up with a partner, and at each line one partner does 5 merkins, at the next line the 2nd partner does 5 V ups, and rotate in this fashion until you reach the next speed bump.  At the end, swap exercises and work your way back.
2nd round
Same format as before, but 10 squats while the partner does 10 LBC’s
3rd round (cut short for time)
Same format but one partner did 20 Shoulder taps, while the other partner did 10 BBS

Time was called and we set a timer for 10 minutes.
The goal was to hold plank starting on your elbows for as long as you could.  When you break plank you perform the following:
10 Burpees
10 Lunges (5 each leg)
20 High knees
then resume the plank position.  It was ok to modify to planking from your hands.

Repeat this until the timer sounds at 10 minutes.
