Let’s Count to 30, Then Let’s Do It Again!

THE SCENE: Actually quite pleasant. At least better than earlier in the week. 

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER Did this. Just a few questions from the crowd. Moving on …

WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH IC x10; LBAC IC x10 EWay; Tempo Squat x10; 1 Burpee

THA-THANG:

Pavilion: Repeat 3x 

  • 10 Box jumps → Lap around the building
  • 10 Dips → Lap around the building
  • 10 Derkins → Lap around the building 

Playground:  Death by Counting 

  • 21s 
    • WWI Sit-ups / Diamond Merkins 
  • 9s
    • Imperial Squat Walkers / Smurf Jacks 

**Narrator: It was at this point (during the 21s) that the Q realized he had made a terrible mistake. WWI sit-ups became LBCs around the 15 mark. Q ended the 21s at the 11/10 mark**

Circus Maximus: Introducing the “Blindside Biscuit”. Like a Sea Biscuit, but better. 1 Lap, 30 reps of an exercise, ab work. As soon as the 6 gets to the ab work, the Q starts IC count x10, then onto the next lap. Keep the PAX together. 

  • 1 lap + 30 Iron Mikes + Flutter Kicks
  • 1 lap + 30 Squat Jumps + Freddie Mercury
  • 1 lap + 30 CDD + Hello Dolly

Back @ the AO: Peter Parker x2 each leg / Corner work

  • 30 Squats → Super Mario to next corner
    • (When the PAX commented on the Q’s performance of the Super Mario’s, he decided to change it for the next corner)
  • 30 Merkins → Carioca to next corner (see above) 

**Time Called** 

MARY: No time 

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA Actually forgot to do this. Whoops 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This was my 30th Q and first of 3 days in a row, hence the 30s and 3s all throughout the beatdown. 

Luke 12:48 says… “With much power, comes much responsibility.” Wait… that was Uncle Ben Parker from Spider-Man. What it ACTUALLY says in Luke is, “When much has been given to a man, much will be required of him.” We are rightly held to a higher standard as members of the Body of Christ. Because God wants all to be saved, he insists on us spreading the Good News. WE have been given the Gospel, it is OUR duty to save the lost.

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Where are your thoughs pinned? When everything goes slack, when you have downtime, when you’re pumping gas or driving the kids to school, where does your mind go? Train your mind’s muscle memory to go back to the things mentioned above.
