Conveyance

AO:  The Patriot

QIC: Lucius

THE PAX: 4 brave souls – Dr. D; Prenup; Subprime; Lucius

THE SCENE:  Windswept

THE WARM UP:

SSH; Cherry Pickers; Wind Mills, Downward Dog.

THE THING:

Conveyor Belt:

Pax deep standing at cinderblock “stations” positioned 10 yards apart, perform 5x Lion Kings (cinderblock front squat and press), bear-crawl forward 10 yards to next cinderblock, then repeat.  Pax at front station runs to back of column, Ricky-Bobby style, after completing his Lion Kings.

Reverse Conveyor Belt:

Reverse the conveyor belt: Pax crawl-bear between stations, with 5x Merkins at each.

Railroad Tracks:

Pax start in a column. First Pax drops to low plank, second Pax jumps over first Pax, runs 10 yards, and drops to a low plank. Third Pax jumps over Pax 1 and Pax 2, then runs 10 yards beyond and gets in low plank.  Repeat all the way to the goal line.  Complete twice for 200 yards.

Wonderbras:

Starting from your chest, lift your bricks up and out.  Performed from a people’s chair (wall sit) with two bricks.  Two sets of 15, with recovery Merkins in the middle.

Bucket Brigade:

Pax Line up at bottom of stairs, one man on every other stair shoulder-to-shoulder. Man on lowest stair passes cinderblock up to next man, who passes it along the line. Once a Pax hands off the block, he runs up the stairs to end of the line to receive block again. Once at top of stairs, repeat going back down.

THE MARY:

LBCs, American Twists, Bonnies, and a terrible Flutter Kick/Scissor Kick/Flutter Kick montage.

THE CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Today’s exercises were about conveyance – keeping things moving.  Newton tells us that an object in motion stays in motion, while objects at rest remain at rest.  F3 keeps us moving.

Episcopalian church services often end with a prayer for “strength and courage to love and serve you … .” We should also ask for momentum — strength and courage are important, but so is continuing to push.

(See Book of Common Prayer, Holy Eucharist Rite II, at 365; see also 1 Chronicles 28:20 (Be strong and courageous, and do the work.))
