Warm-up/Disclaimer:

Thang.1:

Mosey to back of school and while running a lap around the “heart” YHC explained the concept for today: split into 2 groups (one with 3) and while P1 does AMRAP of the called exercise, P2/P3 run a lap around the heart. But you have to enter and exit the Heart from the same side.

We did:

  • H: Humpers (The Monkey variety)
  • E: Everest (Mountain Climbers)
  • A: Angle Grinders
  • R: Reverse Lunges
  • T: Turkish Get-ups

Each lap was ~0.2 miles and took ~1.5 minutes.

Thang.2:

Now that the calisthenics portion is complete, let’s sprint!

We sprinted from one end of the heart to the other through the middle with various MOT: AYG Sprint with mosey around the border back to start with speedbump of 20 APD with feet on a ball, Round 2: same as before but speedbump was 20 derkins with feet on ball, Round 3: 10 Merkins then AYG Sprint, Round 4: Karaoke while facing school to midway through heart then turn and AYG to other end. Round 5: Same as 4 but to the other side. Round 6: Bear Crawl to midpoint then AYG, Round 7: Crawl Bear then AYG

Finished off the PAX with a brief review of HEART with 5 reps of each exercise in the acronym.

CoT/Numbers/Names

What we Learned:

  • LMP Brass knuckling Numbtucks’ forearm Saturday may have helped…
  • Altidore has grit…stayed after it all morning.
  • YHC shared from a couple inspirational sources recently…SpiderMan may get knocked down, but he always gets back up.
  • More importantly, Jesus encouraged his fearful disciples by saying, “Take Heart, don’t fear…”
  • This Saturday, you might feel at the end of your endurance or strength, you might get knocked down physically, mentally or emotionally, but GET BACK UP! Take Heart…Enter the GAUNTLET and be reforged into something greater.
