YHC was encouraged by Gamma’s post a few days ago about not being complacent and pushing yourself to get better.  I decided instead of just doing reps and sets that I’d try to race the clock instead.  However hard I wanted to push myself, so be it, I would get in all I could until the bell rang.  Thankfully, some more guys took the challenge as well so here’s how it went….

 

Disclaimer then mosey to warmup

• IST x10
• SSH x10
• Arm circles
• Windmill x10
• Mountain Climbers x10

 

Mosey to the raised flower beds

Clock set to 4 minutes for each of the following sequences.  Keep going until the bell rings.  For an added challenge, add another rep for each cycle.  1 lap is ~475ft.

• 10 dips, run a lap around the courtyard, 10 step ups, run a lap around the courtyard, repeat
• 10 derkins, run, 10 incline merkins, run, repeat
• 10 air squats, run, 10 leg curl twists (whatever we called them), run, repeat

Mosey to the parking lot

Same plan- 4 minute clock for each sequence, keep going until the bell rings, challenge yourself with an added rep for each cycle.  1 trip across the parking lot is ~160ft.

• 10 merkins, lunge walk across parking lot, 10 LBCs, lunge walk, repeat
• 10 WWIIs, bearcrawl across parking lot, 10 yurpees, bearcrawl, repeat
  • Audible- after 2 bearcrawls, changed to run
• 10 plank jacks, run backward across parking lot, RLBCs, run backward, repeat

 

Mosey back to start for Mary

• mason twist
• J-Los
• low flutter
• low dolly
• stretch it out

I’ve shared this before but I’ll say it again- whatever you do, give it 100% effort.  You can’t give 90% today and say you will make it up tomorrow by giving 110%.  100 is 100, can’t give any more than that so there’s the challenge.  Whatever you do- exercise, volunteer, lead, be a husband, be a father- give it 100% and you’ll be better for it.  Encourage others by your example to put it all out there.
