Life Lesson Challenge: Princess Aurora challenged area PAX to sign up to involve life lessons in their Qs for a month. I signed up for this task February. The life lesson today was three-fold. First, when handed a tough task – like carrying over 130 pounds of bricks for a mile – teamwork is critically important. Second, when performing an important and challenging task – like 55 decline pushups and 110 overhead arm claps – you must perform the task to standard because cheating the reps is only cheating yourself.
Warm-Up: 1/3 mile run, arm circles forward and back, squats, Wilie Mayes Hayes.
Coupon Mile Run: Life Lessons #1: 5 coupons. 130 pounds total. 1 mile. Start running. PAX switch out coupons early and often. Do the math, that ain’t easy, and you don’t need me writing a paragraph to explain that, and you don’t need me writing a paragraph to explain switching off makes that easier.
Merkins and Overhead Armclaps: Life Lessons #2: 1 merkin, 1 four-count overhead arm clap. Rinse and repeat and increase number of reps until reaching 10. Life lesson is to keep the items up to standard. As the reps get tougher and more numerous, resist the temptation to slack on form.

Sprints and Coupons: Life Lesson #3: Pair up. One PAX does a coupon exercise – either thruster or curl or row – while one PAX springs ~200 yards and back. Rinse and repeat for ten minutes. That’s quite a bit of sprinting, and that’s the life lesson – dig deep to get that done.
Mary: Flutterkicks, homer to marge, big boy sit ups, American hammers, crunchy frogs, flutterkicks, two burpees.
Welcome two new FNGs Centipete and Indecent Exposure abbreviated as IE.
