Kickball & Burpee Planes

Date: 2026-07-28 AO: Middle Tooth Q: Toothless , PAX: Betty Ford, Old Maid, Pep, Cowboy, Toothless, Pole Dancer FNGs: None COUNT: 6 CONDITIONS: ROASTY, a low of 77º overnight is not cool (literally)
WARMUP: Lil circle of fun, SSH, high knees, big arm circles and the like. Did Scorpions to end though which were so nice on the freshly blacked asphalt that was still radiating heat.
THE THANG: Kickball. 2 teams. 1 winner by the points, but all winners by the workout. – 10 merkins + runs scored for incoming fielders and 10 merkins for incoming kickers – Foul balls are an out, get tagged with the ball or regular force outs for other outs – Bonus burpees: Any plane sighted earns an immediate 5 burpees! Got maybe 5 planes throughout, not too bad
MARY: SSH in silent cadence to try and end on time and avoid the burpee penalty. YHC went too advanced and tried double count merkins vs single and the PAX were not able to stay in sync so we celebrated that poor decision with more burpees
MOLESKINE: Was fun and games but still enough to be winded and work up a sweat with only 3 per side
ANNOUNCEMENTS: you know ’em, see ’em every week!
COT: – Prayers for Chunks travel, Pep, and Toothless

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America”

Date: 2026-07-02 AO: Atlantis Q: Puzzlah , PAX: Puzzlah, Focker, Pole Dancer, DintyMoore, ShockJock FNGs: 1 ShockJock COUNT: 5 CONDITIONS: Warm
WARMUP: Stretchin
THE THANG: 1764-1789 Trivia
Station 1: Q: We all know “Taxation without representation”, name at least 3 taxes that were levied on the colonies between 1764-1775. A: Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Act, Tea Act
W Partner: 342 Step ups/Dips total while partner runs around the silo to represent the 342 boxes of tea dumped into the Boston Harbor during the Boston Tea Party.
Q2: G-Dub was disgusted by MassHoles, but after Henry Knox took cannons from Ft Ticonderoga and brought them to Boston and they were secretly brought to Dorchester Heights (6 blocks from where I grew up), the Colonial Army forced the British to evacuate Boston in spring 1776. On what day, appropriate for Boston, does the city celebrate Evacuation Day with City Offices closed?
A: March 17 Partner up, carry your partner up the hill.
Q3: The Declaration of Independence was voted for on July 2 by the Second Continental Congress, leading John Adams to write to Abigail, “. “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.”
While only John Hancock had signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, who was the oldest signer and how old was he?
A: Benjamin Franklin, 70 years old
Right answer: 13 “Bolts” (for his lightning bolt experience)–>13 half quats (top), 13 half squats (bottom), 13 full squats, 13 full squat tuck jumps (like Usain Bolts) Wrong answer: 70 Monkey Humpers because Benny Boy loved the ladies
Station 4:
Q: In a desperate “Victory or Death” gamble, Washington marched his freezing, ragtag army to the banks of the Delaware River on Christmas night. In the middle of a brutal nor’easter blizzard—with ice floes smashing against their wooden Durham boats—they crossed the river in pitch darkness and marched 9 miles through the snow to catch the elite Hessian garrison completely by surprise, leaving a trail of blood. While we are familiar with Washington crossing the Delaware, during which battle did this occur?
A: Battle of Trenton
Wrong answer: get barefoot, ice skaters from the foul pole to the outfield fence. Mosey back. Sprints (increasing in percentage from (19%, 50%, 64%, 76%, 89%, 100%, 180% representing years associated with key revolutionary activities).
MARY: – American Hammers: 76 reps IC (Finish out the year) – Big Boy Sit-Ups: 56 reps OYO (Shared with a partner—28 reps each to honor the 56 signers) – The 1789 Constitutional Plank: Hold a low forearm plank for exactly 89 seconds.

Atlantis

MARY:
MOLESKINE: intentional ministry and helping others. It’s good to have a variety of mission opportunities in your life. It’s easy to stay in your circles and help your affluent friends and neighbors who are already close to you and honestly, it probably isn’t making a massive delta or a change in their life.
A challenge to each of us to get out of your circles and help those that are truly hurting where you can actually make a massive positive difference. Lots of Nonprofits out there to find these opportunities if needed.
The needs are there, 100%. Just need to look. 5,000+ kids starve to death every day around the world. Donate to these ministries is an example. Less than $1 can feed a kid for a day. Look it up on Claude.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: summer LeanPax July 5th on the leanpax channel
COT: prayers up for Squatter and DintyMoore family at school. Prayers up for a family at SalPal church. And all other unspoken.
