WARM-O-RAMA:

Side Straddle Hop, Tempo Merkins, Willie Mayes Hayes, LBC’s, Moroccan Night Clubs, Knoxville Cherry Pickers and we were ready to go.
THA-THANG:
Workout area was set up like a clock with each hour of the clock identified with a placard identifying the hour and the exercise to go with it.

12 o’clock- Merkins, 1 o’clock- heavy squats, 2 o’clock- low planks, 3 o’clock – Hello Dollies

4 o’clock- curls, 5 o’clock lunges, 6 o’clock – high planks, 7 o’clock box cutters

8 o’clock- triceps extensions, 9 o’clock 8 count body builders, 10 0clock- mtn climbers, 11 o’clock Freddie Mercury’s

The Q kept the time of 1 minute increments continuously running.  Each HIM was on a different exercise and when the timer was started the first round, each person would do the exercise for 40 seconds and then move to the next exercise within 20 seconds.  This was done until the round was completed (12 minutes) and then time stood still as we ran appx 200 meters.

Once the group was back in position, the Q started the clock and the group repeated the trip around the clock with 50 seconds of exercise and 10 seconds to move to the next exercise.  This was done until the round was completed (12 minutes) and then time stood still and we ran appx 200 meters.

For the 3rd round, we took turns picking out an hour on the clock and doing the same exercise as a group until 6am.

Rampart had 6 HIMs beat the gloom and utilize our time that we were given to strengthen our F3″s
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The word came from Luke 13:6-9.  The story of the gardener that took care of the owners fig tree.  The owner comes and sees that the tree once again has not produced fruit (after 3 years) and tells the gardener to cut it down “Why should it use up the soil”!  The gardener asks for another year to fertilize and care for the tree.  It in one years time it has not produced fruit, it will be cut down and replaced with a tree that will produce fruit.

As we emphasized the use of time and the importance of utilizing the limited amount that we are given, we must look at this parable and see that we are given a specific amount of time on this earth to produce fruit.  If we don’t produce the fruit, God will use another to fulfill his will and we will have missed out on the opportunity he has given us.  At the end of our life we will be judged.  We will not enter Heaven by our good works (our fruit) but by the mercy and grace given to us freely by God and the sacrifice of Christ.  It is because of this mercy, grace and sacrifice that we should strive to utilize every second that we have to produce good fruit.  This can be leading people to Christ or just showing the love that Christ showed to others.  Our clock is ticking, utilize every moment.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

On the evening of March 29, 2023, two 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) helicopters crashed in Trigg County, Kentucky. The crew members, all members of C company 6-101 Aviation Regiment, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, were flying two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters during a routine training mission when the incident occurred. All nine soldiers who were aboard the helicopters died in the crash. All were posthumously awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, and three soldiers were posthumously promoted in a memorial service and award ceremony held in Clarksville, Tennessee on April 13. The June Tribe WOD is in honor of these 9 soldiers.

Gone but never forgotten. Do this workout in honor of them.

Live each day as if you don’t have another

Memory Card Game. Q placed two sets of cards arranged in a 5×4 square. Each Card has a workout designed. PAX split into teams and played the memory card game. If they flip over two cards that match they preform the exercise then run to the end of the lot and remove those from the board. If they don’t match then they preform both exercises, run to the end of the lot. Flip them over and try again.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reading a book called “Comfort in Crisis”. Talks about how the body and spirit improve by doing really hard challenging physical tasks. Made me wonder if the same benefit could come from doing the difficult things spiritually. Praying when you seem way to busy, bringing the lord up to someone who doesn’t want to hear it, showing grace to someone you really don’t necessarily like.
