COT:

What are you disciplining your mind with these days? Are you aware of the influences on you?

Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas, they exchange images. They do not argue with propositions; they argue with good looks, celebrities and commercials.

THE THANG:
YHC setup a playlist of 7 unique classic rock songs and 7 classic Nickelback songs, which may or may not have just been the same Nickelback song 7 times. Nobody can really know for sure. Played in shuffle mode, the PAX either did musical DORA or 5-rep tick-tock burpees.

I guess that means that Nickelback > Classic Rock? Numbers don’t lie 🤷‍♂️

It was cold and snowy so we did things that you do in the cold and in the snow. The Q was a little concerned at first because the pax were so bundled up he had no idea who was there. FNGs? Infiltrators? Oh well. Give em a good beatdown and it’ll work out ok.

WARMUP: stealing a page from the book of @citrus we alternated a warmup exercise with a set of burpees and coupon tempo squats. The burpee/cts count was 2-4-6-8-10-9-6-4-2

THE THANG: Four groups. Group 1-3 did an exercise while group 4, the timer, pulled a coupon on a rope from midfield to the end zone and back.
Group 1 did a different exercise each set. Magellans, coupon swings, and OH press. Group 2 did tick tock burpees.
Group 3 did calf raises, Moroccan night clubs, and seal claps

Part 2: sled races. Team 1 vs team 2, and team 3 vs team 4. Pull your partner on a sled from mid field to the end zone. Flapjack and return. While the rest of the pax did an exercise.

MARY: flutter kicks, American hammer

ANNOUNCEMENTS: none

COT: Today is national quitters day. The day that Americans are most likely to quit in their New Year’s resolutions. When you make a resolution that makes you better, or is better for your loved ones, commit to it.

COT:
Pain and chaos are barriers to movement because we seek safety which drives us to maintain the status quo. It’s not the pain and chaos we can’t handle, but the fear of those forces. Set your goals and don’t procrastination. Meet those challenges head on.
