“The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.”
-Longfellow

Workout:
This day we scored all three F’s: We expanded our souls with manly poetry, while building our bodies and bonding all at once! This impressive multitasking can only be described as poetry in motion.

Started with A Psalm of Life by Longfellow
One PAX reading while doing air squat
Each reading, alternated burpees and lifting rocks from squat to overhead press

Next up, If- by Kipling
Each reading alternate swerkins with pull-ups

Third, the Ladder of St. Augustine by Longfellow
Step-ups alternated with wall jumps

Finally, The Man in the Arena by Roosevelt
Balls-to-the-wall alternated with lunges, while reader did wall sits.

Our souls and bodies stronger, we ended with some Mary.
