Pax split into two groups at the top of the stairs
Group 1 took one of non cinderblock coupons (40′ sand bag, 30′ ruck sack, 20′ ruck sack, 15′ weight vest) Group 2 stayed La Natural
Pax ran down the stairs, Group 1 performed 5 weighted squats at the base, Group 2 performed 5 burpees. On the return Group 2 Bunny Hopped up the Stairs (to make up for their lack of added weight)
Pax then switched, with Group 2 now carrying the weight, and repeated.
In between rounds PAX rested with 10 WW1s in cadence.
subsequent rounds involved bear crawls and lunges
Merry ended with a Pax calling out an exercise for the group while they performed 5 sand bag burpees.

COT:
2026 – challenge everyone to build a deeper community where conversations go beyond “I’m good.” Everyone has ups and downs and deep, accountable, and challenging relationships are a life line to our mental health. We cannot grow if we are just counseling ourselves and not sharing and encouraging each other.

Natural Ice and I host a small group every Wednesday night at 7:30 and you are all invited whether you go to our church or not.

Lastly thanks to Pep for being our new AOQ as he will take us to new heights and start being in our photos!
