hamilton Let’s do Monkey Humpers on this Bridge! On second thought, no…

Date: 2024-06-03
AO: hamilton
Q: Legacy
PAX: Jag, Hobbyhorse, AI, Popeye
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
WARMUP: SSH, IMPERIAL WALKER, HILLY BILLYS, LITTLE BITTY ARM CIRCLES (AND REVERSE), CHERRY PICKERS, WILLY MAYS HAYES, DOWNWARD DOG, WGS
THE THANG: A “JG” Variant. We ran for approximately 3:00, moseying in the environs, and then we would stop for a superset of 1) 5 Burpees, 2) 10 Merkins, and 15) squats, we moseyed around Fleet Elementary then explored the neighborhood above Route 50. While first crossing the bridge the Q made a very ill-advised command to do Monkey Humpers on the footbridge over Route 50. Seemed an okay idea. But the Q received some feedback that persuaded him to revoke that command. This was wisdom. We came back on site, moseyed around a bit more in the JG format. MARY: Flutters/Toy Soldiers/LBCs–and one more set of the 5/10/15.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Please stay tuned to this channel for information regarding the workout at One Life Fitness this coming Saturday June 8 — no deets yet.
COT: This was already going to be the topic so it was just serendipity. Leaders use feedback. Negative feedback is a fact of life. Deal with it. As a leader, remember, you get what you praise, you need to be praising about 5x to 6x more than the negative feedback you give. SYITG!!!

Mary: J-Lo’s, American Hammers

Announcements: AFLAC Q Wednesday and Pad Thai Q Friday.

CoT: Throughout this workout, YHC invited the PAX to remember times in their lives when they have been frustrated or disappointed over things they could not control. YHC invited the PAX to remember those moments of frustration, and channel that energy into the workout, thereby giving “payback“ to the world.

However, at the end of the workout, why YHC remarked that the true character building comes when we learn to forgive those who have offended us.
Matthew 6:14 – “If ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you”
Doctrine & Covenants 64:9 – “Forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses stands condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin”
Russell M. Nelson – “Not forgiving others is poison for us. Grudges weigh us down. Angry disagreements separate us. Animosity and hatred can divide families”

Segment by Major Payne Q1: Count off by twos
Team 1 vs. Team 2
#1: Sandbag pass around a fountain identified by the Q (YHC). All pax lay on back shoulder to shoulder in a row at the starting point (also identified by the Q). First man pass sandbag to next man from the prone on back position, who passes to next man and so on. Once a PAX has passed the sandbag, he must get up and run to the far end of the row and wait for the sandbag. Repeat. Team 1 goes left. Team 2 goes right around the fountain and returns to start/finish. First team to get their last man beyond the start/finish point wins.
#2: mountain climbing side straddle hop relay. First PAX runs, second PAX leads team in mountain climbers. Once the first PAX finishes his run, he goes to the end of the line and second PAX runs. Third PAX then leads team in SSH until second PAX returns and goes to end of line. Third PAX then runs and fourth PAX leads team in mountain climbers and so on. Winning team is the first to get all PAX through.

Part 3: Bear Crawl Social Network. We will break into equal groups via the time honored tradition of the ‘count off’. Groups will circle up and execute the bear crawl social within their circle. All Pax hold the plank. 1st PAX bear crawls to someone in the circle, gives them a high, or low, five, both execute a merkin, then 1st pax crawl bears back to his spot. PAX #2 goes to someone else. This pattern continues until all PAX have bear crawled and crawl beared.
