4 PAX arrived ready to start their week off right.

WARM UP:

PAX moseyed to the traffic circle and engaged in some magnificent warm-up exercises.

SSH x 20 (cadence count)

LBACs x 10 (cadence count forward) and Reverse x 10 (cadence count)

Good Mornings x 10 (cadence count)

WMH x 10 (cadence count)

THE THANG:

Thoroughly warmed, the PAX hopped over to the small green hill.

Harkening back to the Hard Launch in  2017, YHC began with a set of “11s.” PAX ran up the steep hill, performed 10 Burpees, safely ran back down the hill to perform 1 Air-Squat. PAX continued to perform this breathtaking action until 1 Burpee was performed at the top of the hill and 10 Air-Squats were performed at the bottom.

Out of breath, the fun continued. PAX moseyed to the park.

PAX split into 4 stations: (1) Curls; (2) Pull-Us; (3) People’s Chair; and (4) Abyss Merkins

YHC instructed Pusher to grab the largest rock possible he could curl.  Pusher, as always, did not disappoint.  1 PAX started at a separate station.  The PAX performing curls was the counter and was instructed to complete 20 curls.  The PAX rotated through the 4 stations once.  Wanting more, the PAX completed a second round.

Biceps bulging, shirts soaked, the PAX moseyed to the infamous Bridge @ #therock.

After arriving at the Bridge, the PAX assumed the Tunnel of Love position.  The first PAX completed the Inch-Worm through the Tunnel and once all the way through, the same PAX would join his brothers. The PAX continued the Inch Worm Tunnel of Love until the entire Bridge was traversed.

Now at the bottom of the hill, the PAX RYAOed up to the summit of #therock one at a time while the remaining PAX engaged their abs through a Plank.

Once at the Top, a few minutes remained for MARY.

MARY:

Each PAX called out two exercises for a total of 8: WW2 x 20 (single count); Flutters x 25 (cadence count); Freddie Mercuries x 10 (cadence count); LBCs x 20 (cadence count); Superman Pulse x 20 (single count); Box Cutters x 15 (4 count); Isometric LBCs x 3 (hold for 30 seconds each); and Hello Dollies x 20 (single count)

COT:

Prayers for all those that could not be present; prayers for all those traveling; and prayers for all PAX to be the best partners, husbands, fathers, sons, friends, family members, and co-workers possible, to give us the strength to persevere, and the patience to listen.

MOLESKIN:

Once at the top of #therock, the PAX received a well-timed and well-received gust of wind.  After a tough workout that included some early NC summer morning temps, the breeze was exactly what we needed.  May we look to find, and ready ourselves to receive, our well-timed breeze after each difficult journey we undergo each day.

Another wonderful day in the Northern Province, and the best way to start the week.
