“Be Fearless & Keep Smiling”

Steve Macdonald

Last Friday of the 4 week Period, so thought it was only fair to unleash Decker again…….great workout this……each suit corresponds to the exercise done, face cards are 12 reps, Ace is 11, and anything under 5 you do 5!!

Workout: Decker

Hearts: Single Leg Squats

Diamonds: Renegade Rows

Spades: Good Mornings

Clubs: Burps / Burpees

Joker: 400m RUN!!

Great effort by everyone.

And with the morning Crew, we finished off with a Round of……coffee at the New Hot Shots…great way to end the workout and get ready for the weekend.

Great Job by Ryan and Kris, the two attendees at 7pm……honest, the cards were shuffled…..I had no idea you would do so many squats together, so many renegade rows….and the less said about the burpees!!!

Achieved F bombs throughout……in both the 6pm and 7pm sessions……nice one

We have a number ways in which to measure the ‘effectiveness’ of a workout…..there is the layer system…..how many layers come off…..[7pm, only shorts were left on by one individual!!!]…..whether or not finger status is achieved [there was none today]……and whether F bombs are dropped……well defo on the F Bombs…..with one athlete, thought she was going for the shock and awe with the number of bombs…..one within 5 seconds of arrival……….LOVE IT!!!! No names no shame eh Tara?

Take 2 minute rest High Pulls and the Burpees to recover as much as possible.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…

It’s about learning to dance in the rain!

Contained in an email from Deb Ferner

Thought it was highly appropriate given that there were tremendous Thunderstorms and Lightening displays this afternoon……and due to the electrical storms I cancelled the evenings workouts. [We DO workout come rain or shine, but to be safe, we cancel if there are electrical storms going on]

So to that end here is the workout we did this morning and at the lunchtime session:

Workout: AMRAP [As Many Rounds As Possible] in 15minutes

  • 20 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 Squat & Press
  • 10 High Pulls
  • 100 Rope Turns or 50m Sprint between 2 cones [25m apart]

Well done to Jo ‘Legs’ for completing 12 Rounds!!!!!

Great to see Tara back, came along to the lunchtime session….and sure enough launched the F-BOMBS…..Fan ‘Frickin’Tastic!!!!

Due to the cancellation of the evening sessions, treated myself to a ‘playtime’ with Candy the Lab…..took her for a run in the forest…….in the rain…..running [running NOT jogging]…twisting, turning, ducking and diving through the trees, running up fallen trees…..BEAR CRAWLING [yes I bear crawled for fun!!] through the undergrowth…..Candy thought it was great…..and I had a fantastic 45 minutes play time in the trees….

Have a great one guys….again, sorry to call it off, but did not want to take chances with the electrical storm…..see you ALL Thursday
