The PAX: Rikers, Hoff, Nolan, Bobcat, Bolt, Brisket, Mater, Microchip, Dial-tone, Gigawatt, and CrotchRocket made it out of the fart sack for a WWII style beat down. Lots of mumble chatter means the PAX is really warming up to their logs.

CoT: Ephesians 6:11-13 reads

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Taking our Daily Red Pill (DRP) and bricklaying (setting up healthy routines/habits) constitute our “armor”

THE PAX: @infinity, @walle (F3Princeton), @pawnstar (DR), and @citrus

THE WARMUP: SSH, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixote, WMH, cherry pickers, calf stretch, Downward Dog, and scapular pushups

THE THANG:
Stolen liberally from Lazlo’s “Millenials” workout, PAX completed 10 rounds of 50 high knees (in place), 100 reps of an exercise, and 50 buttkickers (in place)

For each round, once any PAX reached 100 reps we were finished. No PAX could be “first” two rounds in a row.

The exercises were (all single count):
1) Merkins
2) Calf raises
3) Lunges
4) Mountain climbers
5) Body weight squats
6) Air presses
7) Shoulder taps
8) SSH
9) Flutter kicks
10) Burpees
Round 10 broke spirits when YHC announced the exercise. YHC then raised them back up with the rep scheme: instead of 100 straight reps, PAX split into two groups. Each group alternated completing 10 total burpees (5 per PAX) while the other group Al Gored, to reach a combined total of 100 reps.

Kudos to @walle for the most relaxing, yet non-recovering, 10 count I’ve ever been a part of.

MARY: um…see round 9, above.

COT: If you’ve been overwhelmed by the pandemic, let’s give ourselves grace to be hopeful again, and pay it forward to your friends and family. We’ve had an unthinkable 12 months with the pandemic, and there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel.
