Dizzy Lizzy at the Park

This morning was a cold one, so we warmed up:

• 10 side-straddle hops in cadence
• 5 burpees oyo (to warm up)
• 10 humpies in cadence
• 5 more burpees oyo
• 10 windmills in cadence
• 5 more burpees oyo
• 10 storm troopers in cadence

Then we mosey to the park and stop at the exercise equipment, and YHC explains the workout: 1 PAX runs to the Park’s traffic circle, circles it 5 times. Meanwhile, remaining PAX take an exercise station and perform as many reps as possible until the first PAX returns and shouts “up!” Each PAX goes to the next exercise station in sequence with the last station’s PAX running to the traffic circle. We had 7, so the first round had these 6 stations:

1. Picaboo Streets
2. Traveling Merkin
3. Pull-ups
4. Big Boy Sit-ups
5. Merkin + Rotation
6. Step-ups

Next round, 4 times around the traffic circle and:

1. Traveling Merkin
2. Plank Walk
3. Pull-ups
4. Big Boy Sit-ups
5. Merkin + Rotation
6. Step-ups

Last round, Reading 🌈 makes his exit, so we dropped a station, 2 times around traffic circle, and

1. Plank Walk
2. Big Boy Sit-ups
3. Merkin + Rotation
4. Triceps Dips
5. Jump Squats

With a few minutes to spare, we mosey back to the flag. Once there, it’s 6:14, so YHC calls 30 LBC’s and 30 RBC’s OYO, bringing us to time.

Count-o-rama, name-o-rama:

YHC shared an excerpt from Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book Cost of Discipleship:

The path of discipleship is narrow, and it is fatally easy to miss one’s way and stray from the path, even after years of discipleship. And it is hard to find. On either side of the narrow path deep chasms yawn. To be called to a life of extraordinary quality, to live up to it, and yet to be unconscious of it is indeed a nar-row way. To confess and testify to the truth as it is in Jesus, and at the same time to love the enemies of that truth, his enemies and ours, and to love them with the infinite love of Jesus Christ, is indeed a narrow way. To believe the promise of Jesus that his followers shall possess the earth, and at the same time to face our enemies unarmed and defenceless, preferring to inctir injustice rather than to do wrong ourselves, is indeed a narrow way. To see the weakness and wrong in others, and at the same time refrain from judging them; to deliver the gospel message without casting pearls before swine, is indeed a narrow way. The way is unutterably hard, and at every moment we are in danger of straying from it. If we regard this way as one we follow in obedience to an external command, if we are afraid of ourselves all the time, it is indeed an impossible way. But if we behold Jesus Christ going on before step by step, we shall not go astray. But if we worry about the dangers that beset us, if we gaze at the road instead of at him who goes before, we are already straying from the path. For he is himself the way, the narrow way and the strait gate. He, and he alone, is our journey’s end. When we know that, we are able. to proceed along the narrow way through the strait gate of the cross, and on to eternal life, and the very narrowness of the road will increase our certainty. The way which the Son of God trod on earth, and the way which we too must tread as citizens of two worlds on the razor edge between this world and the kingdom of heaven, could hardly be a broad way. The narrow way is bound to be right.

YHC prayed us out.

SYITG!
