- Welcome – A hot 77 for 5:30am..
- Warmup- 35 Windmills, 15 Cherry Pickers, Plank Cross Hold (left knee to right elbow) + Merkin, Stretching Inchworms + Merkins.
- Workout:
- Tabatta Bear Mountain: Bear crawl up the Racket Club Road starting at the bottom. Crawl for 40 seconds, rest 20. Each successive crawl is 90 degrees to the right. So 40 seconds of straight bear crawl, then 40 seconds of side crawl to the left. Then 40 seconds of reverse bear crawl. Then 40 seconds of side bear crawl to the right, then 40 seconds of straight bear crawl. Sort of reminiscent of https://f3knoxville.com/the-tabata-bear-on-the-rock/ without the crabs and alligators. I was so glad that Anchorman, Pool Boy and Mermaid were there to see this version two of the bear mountain. We crawled all the way to the door of the racketball club! Great job gentlemen!
- Bleacher Mountain: (aka. 12 minute Bleacher AMRAP) Run as many up and downs on the bleachers as you can in 12 minutes. We also included the stair case going down to the track for good measure and so we could tally mark with chalk our up/down reps.
- WarmDown: Ring of leg fire – Leg lifts in a circle facing out. Each person runs around the circle tossing the legs down to the ground of the fellow HIMS. Do another round of this but also through in some random burpees for a dash of chaos. It was a hot mess – but fun!
- Words: Often times the hardest part of the workout is the words at the end, but I wanted to encourage yall to not let it be. Life is not all sunshine and rainbow s , so don’t be afraid to share anything that’s on your heart. It doesn’t have to be composed. Just share. We’ll support you. God may or may not give you an encouraging word to share – it’s ok. We are partnering with you and so is God. This weekend Rick Dunn gave a great sermon on God’s providence and love of us. ( https://middlebrook.fellowshipknox.org/sermons ) One of my favorite verses were mentioned 1 Thesalonians 5:24 “God is faithful and He will do it!” … It’s a great sermon, I encourage you to listen to it if you have the chance. Trust in Him today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 6:2-4
…2So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…
Why is this so hard? It’s so tempting to humblebrag. Why is it not enough that my Creator sees me and my heart when I do a good deed? I have had several moments this year where I helped someone out, didn’t tell anyone, and it was so hard to not share about it.
I’m faced with asking myself, who am I doing this for? Is it really an act of love if I’m doing it for myself, for my own glory? My challenge for me and you is to ask God to put someone in your path that needs help. Ask God to give you strength and true love for Him and the person you are helping. Afterwards, go back to God and give Him the glory.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Referenced Judges newsletter topic of Gluttony and explained how that struck a chord with me. Don’t be a Glutton, and don’t do things in excess. Eating, drinking, working, etc in excess can become a sin. We did a lot of Ab work today so that we may have sore abs and remember to make better choices about what goes into our bodies.

Isaiah 40:28-31
28Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
29He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
