The Thang

To keep it fun and light, the plan for today was to introduce a few games into the mix.

1. Agility Warmup Team Race. Split into 2 teams of 7. Using cones and boob-shaped markers, PAX bunny hopped the marker, shuffled left and right to cones, then repeated down the line through 6 sets of cones and markers. Once a PAX got to the second marker, the next PAX would begin. Rd 1, hold plank when you're done. Rd 2, hold low squat when you're done.

2. The Cone Game (i.e., Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Cone). PAX line up across from each other in low squat hold with a cone between them. A PAX at one end says the words head, shoulders, or knees as the PAX move their hands to touch that body part. When the PAX at the end says cone, the first PAX to grab the cone wins. Winning PAX do 3 merkins, losing PAX do 3 burpees. Then PAX shift one spot and repeat (12 times total today).

3. Suicide Team Race. Split into 5 teams of 3 (one team only had 2 and someone had to go twice (sorry Yo-Yo! ). 4 comes are each placed 2 parking spaces apart. One by one each team member does suicides down to each cone and back. Hold plank if not running. Rd 1, regular suicides. Rd 2, suicides with a burpee at each far cone. Rd 3, suicide with a burpees at each far cone and at the base (turnaround) cone.

4. Tic-tac-toe game. Split into 4 team of 3-4 PAX each for two simultaneous games of tic-tac-toe. PAX line up and team members take turns running down to the game board to place their marker. Each team only has 3 markers so once the first 3 are placed, subsequent runners must move one of their markers to a new space. First team to get Tic-tac-toe wins.

COT

Today, we talked about the idea that our often habits are the entry point that drives our behavior. Choosing whether to pick up a book or our phone dictates whether we spend the next hour reading our storing social media. Recognizing and capitalizing on these short, small cues can lead dramatic changes in our overall behavior. This topic is #3 in the 10-minute video below, though I recommend watching it all if you have the time.

After multiple suicide rounds having to run twice, Yo-Yo exasperatedly exclaiming, "I'm going back to Vortex!"
