And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.  Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.  Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.  Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me-everything you heard me and saw me doing.  Then the peace of God will be with you.

if it ain’t broke…don’t fix it. So I’m rehashing my workouts from this week. Laziness…I think not.
Start at first cone. Do qty of 1 of 1st exercise. Move to next cone, do qty of 2, next cone qty of 3 etc. Total of  10 cones down one side of the Circus Maximus. Run a lap around the lot after completing all cones and go back to where you left off doing same exercise adding up again back to start.  switch to second exercise, then 3rd,4th. While waiting on the six, do LBCs or Al Gores.

exercises with travel movements are:

  • Merkins with runs
  • Squat jumps with bear crawls (every other cone)
  • Dry docks with low Bernie Sanders

apparently the circus maximus is bigger than I thought. We only got through three exercises this time around. Mosey back to the AO for some ab work

If you are accelerating, always look around and make sure you bring pull someone with you. I recently self imposed a 10 day challenge to workout every day, and my brothers supported me and kept me accountable to help me reach my goal. But I didn’t feel like I thought at the end, because I realized I missed an opportunity to push someone else to go a little further. Never forget to reach back if you are lucky enough to climb.

It’s easy to get into a workout and make it about us.  How hard it is for us.  To think about ourselves.  We do it too often.  Encouraged each brother to look outside of themselves.  To reach out to another brother today.  To check in.  To say they had their 6.
