Coupons and Bear Crawls and Scissor Kicks

PAX followed the leader as Q ran through a series of coupon exercises for variable time counts – incline merkins, flat back rows, curls for girls, overhead press, negative curls, flat back rows, decline merkins (x3 sets)

After each set, we bear crawled up the bleachers, lunge walked across to the next stairs and then walked back down to the coupons for active rest.

*We mixed it up with a set of plank jacks, lawn mowers, more curls, triceps choice and back down again

Final set was PAX choice, starting with 10, 15, 20, – etc. until reaching 40ct. Then one final bear crawl up the bleachers and lunges across.

Circle of Pain at the end – each PAX chose a 10-count of a core exercise to end the workout.

Bring your best. I shared some stories about recognizing the great work effort of one of my younger colleagues, and also my kids. I’m happy to know people who give it their all, you men included. I am beyond grateful to know my kids think about others and can realize giving a good effort in life’s tasks is its own reward. My eldest son really went out of his way to make things work for his friend who is relocating with family to Florida. My eldest daughter did some household chores without being asked. My kids say please and thank you, they recognize and try to contribute to the needs of others, and that’s no small thing.
