YHC noticed the SUG was empty for the first Monday of 2021.  All it took was one digital HC by @Poutine for the commitment to Q.  A preblast was posted, simply requesting those attending to bring their coupon of choice and enthusiasm; both were needed this morning.  In total, five PAX chose to post the first Monday of 2021 with some Highlands Mettle.

A mild disclaimer was provided.

Mosey around the clubhouse circle and back to…

WARMARAMA:

Side-Straddle Hops, Imperial Storm Troopers, Weed-Pickers, Mountain Climbers, and Merkins.

THE THANG:

Everyone was officially welcomed to the 7-11-22 beatdown.  The emphasis was on anaerobic exercise and to limit the down-time as much as possible.  Each circuit contained two kettlebell exercises (11 & 22) and one without (7).  The goal was to attempt to get as many cycles as possible within a 10 minute timeframe. Each circuit contained three exercises to the rep number of 7, 11, and 22 (numbering had no special purpose).   The design also allowed for safe and proper social distancing.

Circuit #1:

7 Burpees, 11 Thrusters, 22 KB Swings

Circuit #2:

7 Heisman’s (2 = 1), 11 Upright Rows, 22 KB Curls

Circuit #3:

7 Apollo Ohno’s (2 = 1), 11 Skull-crushers, 22 Single-Arms Bent-over Rows

Slow mosey to the clubhouse circle and back after each circuit.

No time for MARY, much to the chagrin of @BlackSheep.

CLOSING PRAYER

MOLESKIN

• There have been a ton of announcements on Slack, c/o @Poutine.  There will be a stronger emphasis for community involvement this year, with identifying a cause to prioritize each month.
• Prayers included, but not limited to: the specific requests for the Uncle of @Overdraft’s M and @Poutine’s father-in-law; the local and national government leaders; continued appreciation for our frontline and essential workers.
• As we enter the first full-week of 2021, let’s take a positive mindset of what we GET to do, rather than what we HAVE to do.
• It’s always an honor to lead.

Iron Sharpens Iron.
