Finished with a quick message about our influence as men and how we use that influence in our day to day lives. Do we pull others up or push them down. Challenge to think about it daily and find ways to pull those around us up.

Prayers for incognito’s father as he recovers this week.

Carousel of Calorie Burn – all about Endurance

Weather: Refreshingly cool, low 50’s

Q: Stapler
PAX: 14 – Stapler, Zebra, Oshag, Radio, Ricky Bobby, Duggar, Kisses, Ollie, Barney Fife, Roadtrip, Lansbury, Sous Vide, Axeman, Hertz

Warm-O-Rama
Quick round of arm circles, near/fars, simulated jump ropes while we did our Name-O-Rama.

Overview of our Endurance workout with the message being that as we work on our physical endurance we will challenge ourselves to work on our spiritual and faith based endurance.

Tha Thang
We started in the Gridlock parking lot after warm ups and jogged the full circle. Lansbury says it’s .25 miles. Up one completion of the lap we started our carousel of workouts that went as follows:

5 Burpees
Another lap
5 Burpees, 10 Merkins IC
Another lap
5 Burpees, 10 Merkins IC, 15 Dollies
Another lap.. see where this is headed 😃
We added 20 SSH, 25 Squats, 30 mountain climbers to the mix after each progressive lap.

We stopped shortly before the last lap to talk more about our endurance, the push we put on our physical body in the gloom together and pushing each other and the collective to work on our spiritual endurance.

We finished the last lap and added a burnout round of Mary with exercises randomly picked by the Pax.

Circled up for joys and concerns and prayer.

Road trip and Stapler showed up at 6am for a pre beat down ruck, this separated the men from the boys 😉
