Good to have Headgear out for his first Arena workout and 2nd overall. Poor guy made the mistake of buying a house between Notebook and Voltron – never had a chance…..
Weather: 40 degrees, raining
The Thang:
Intro, Disclaimer, Prayer and Lord’s Prayer.
Yesterday was April Fools’ Day. The crazy AOQ claimed there would be workouts at 0315 and 0415, but the fun started with some fools (2) running in the rain at 0435 with a few more showing up at 0515.
YHC had a plan, but due to the rain some slight modifications were put in place.
Mosey through parking lot for a half lap and stop for some COP. Some complaining about the wet stuff falling from the sky.
SSH X 20 IC
Merkins X 10 IC
Little baby arm circles – 10F and 10 R IC
Overhead Claps X 10 IC between LBAC.
Merkins X 10 on my count (that’s 30 total so far)
Imperial Walkers X 20 IC
Mosey back through the parking lot and stop under the breezeway.
Today’s modified theme was pretty simple – just do 100 reps of each exercise.
Started off with 10 burpees. Appointed Rock Drop to be the official keeper of the burpee count, and he did a fantastic job.
25 BBSU on your own.
Lunge to the other end of the breezeway.
25 Squats OYO.
Imperial Walker back to the other end of the breezeway.
Confirmed burpee count with Rock Drop – did 10 more burpees, now up to 20.
25 more BBSU. Run backwards down the breezeway. 25 Squats.
Run back – 10 more burpees to get to 30.
25 more BBSU – lunge down the breezeway. 25 Squats. Run back.
10 more burpees – Rock Drop confirmed that was 40. Last 25 BBSU to reach 100 reps.
Run down the breezeway for the last 25 squats and then come back.
10 more burpees to reach 50.
Merkins X 10 IC because we had more to do to reach 100.
LBC’s X 25 OYO. Down the breezeway running or lunging or something like that. 25 Calf raises OYO.
At 50 burpees – time running short – did 12 burpees this time to get to 62
Merkins X 7 IC. LBC’s X 25 OYO. Down the breezeway, 25 calf raises. Back down the breezeway.
Rock Drop confirmed burpee count at 62 – did 13 to get to 75.
25 More LBC’s and down the breezeway. 25 Calf Raises. Back down the breezeway.
12 more burpees to get to 87. Last 25 LBC’s. Down the breezeway for last 25 calf raises. Back down the breezeway. Rock Drop confirmed 87 burpees. Our bankers Notebook and Forest confirmed that meant 13 more to go, so that’s what we did – the last 13 burpees to reach 100.
Stayed under the breezeway for some Mary.
Finally the last two exercises that YHC always does to remember our lost F3 and FiA pax:
Merkins for Digits – 30, or as many as possible, on YHC’s count – pause – do last 6 together for a total of 36 and a grand total of 100.
Flutter kicks for Cheech, 30 IC, pause, and then 8 more together for Cheech as YHC always does.

Can God use me?
After the Israelites entered the promised land, they went through many up and down periods where they would follow the Lord, not follow and then follow again. During one such down time, the Lord called upon Gideon to lead the people.
Judges 6:12 “When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all of this happened to us?”
Judges 6:14 “The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”
6:15 “Pardon me, my Lord, Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”
God has a plan to use each of us to do His will. It doesn’t matter how poorly equipped we think we are. God works through us using His abilities, not just ours. Go be a mighty warrior for God!
