Observations: Each PAX put in a good effort. Welcome back Pavarotti! In addition, 2 Percent really rocked the Bonnie Blairs, along with other movements. YHC was so tired at the end of the workout, that he had trouble getting a group photo (apologies). This type of workout will give a good caloric burn for hours afterward—be sure to each very soon after these workouts to avoid zombification.

Announcement: We will continue the virtual workouts on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. Wednesdays we will continue joining Rousey’s Safehouse virtual workout group. Mondays and Friday’s will just be our own small group—there are pros and cons to either (this way, we get all the pros and few of the cons). 2 Percent agreed to take Q for Monday.

CoT:

The PAX reflected on the principles that accompanied the exercises (purpose, hope, joy, balance, faith, gratitude, patience, love, momentum, praise, perseverance, and reflection). Throughout the workout, YHC emphasized proper form over number of reps. Doing lots of reps with bad form is like spending lots of money buying junk bonds—you won’t get the dividends you seek. As in our workout, so in life: we need to pursue that which is meaningful, not what is expedient. As we pursue that which is meaningful, we will be taking the harder path, but it is a path that leads to better results.
