Burpees and Fun

Neck Rolls, High Knees, Mountain Climbers, Merkins, Frankenwalks, Windmills

PAX moseyed to pain shed. Each PAX grabbed a coupon and circled up in @Johnny5 Stadium B
Did an EMOM of Burpees: 1st minute PAX did 1 burpee then rested the remaining time, 2nd minutes did 2 burpees and then rested the remaining time, then 3 burpees in the 3rd minute…etc.
Each PAX challenged themselves to see how many rounds they could go while completing all of the burpees before the 60 seconds expired.
Congrats to @Waddle and @Finch for finishing 12 full rounds. As a prize, they selected @Bumblebee to VQ next Monday’s Beatdown!
PAX then did Curls to the Sally Song. Holding coupon at 90 degrees on the down calls
After Sally, we lined up along the pain shed, assumed a squat position, and passed the coupon up and down the line for a few minutes
We then lined up and completed a couple of minutes of plank coupon pull through
Finished with 20 H2H
CLEAR!

Today’s beatdown focused on my weaker exercises…burpees in particular. While we should always be putting our strengths to work to serve others, we also need to face our fears and address our weaknesses
Watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding with my wife and daughter Saturday night. I had not watched this movie in 20+ years, and I was struck by the gift (a fully paid for home) the parents gave the married couple during the reception. At first I was moved by the magnitude of the gift and realized I would never be able to provide this for my children. But I quickly shifted my perspective and saw how this gift represented how God blesses us beyond measure. It was a good reminder of the awesome gift of his Son and how much he loves us.
