The Cleaver’s cleaved. And the bootcampers seemed to really enjoy, really embrace the medley of burpee variations on the docket. All men gave it their all. But it seemed there were a few complaints about the rough pavement in Scary; some heavy breathing, not much mubblechatter. The Q witnessed a coupla times PAX bent over heading toward the bushes. But all in all we survived the following:
5 pump merkin burpees x 5, up the stairs for Superman’s 5 i.c. Then sets for 4 pumps, 3, 2, and 1. We moved on and did a few new combinations: Pike Burpees, Elbow-back burpees, Bear crawl burpees, Plank Jack burpees, Box jump burpees, and we ended ended with some Navy seal burpees. The PAX did a coupla hundred or so merkins, all in. Maybe 80 or so burpees? Each burpee was always finished with a standing tight core movement- either a left/right knee up or a left right twist to finish the burpee. Sadly, we did not get to our Creeper burpee. Perhaps next time. Back in time for a few minutes of Corkscrew crunches (circle the legs, getting hips off ground) and some Tombstone crunches (circling the upper torso with shoulders off the ground), doing each in both directions for proper form and balance, of course.
COT was quiet for prayers and praises. And that’s ok. At a minimum the PAX were reminded that COT is for sharing, in trust. All men have stuff on their hearts, and they work thru the stuff in their own way. We must, as Q’s, continue to offer a COT setting, continue to offer that moment to the PAX where they can share, they can offer up lesson’s learned by sharing a story in their life. It’s free counseling, free fellowship. The ability to have F3 in our lives, to take a active role in our region, our AO’s was our reward.
