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.
