The Thang
The Welsh Dragon
Remain in plank position the whole time. Bear crawl forward 4 steps, do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and tap the BACK of each shoulder 1 time. Repeat adding 1 rep to each exercise each time – bear crawl forward 4 steps, do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, 2 sets of back of shoulder taps… etc. Go until you get to 10 reps each, you’ve covered 30-50 feet, or until your arms fall off – whichever comes first. Mosey back to corner of track.
Lt. Dan
Punishing leg exercise that is a cousin (of sorts) to Jack Webb. Named after Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, it combines 1 squat followed by 4 lunges (alternating legs) in ascending order (maintaining the 1:4 ratio). It will leave the PAX feeling like “they ain’t got no legs”. Start with 1 squat 4 lunges, mosey to next corner of track, 2 squats 8 lunges, mosey to next corner of track……..continue to 8 squats 32 lunges, mosey to starting corner of track.
Quarter Mile Monkey Humper
25 Monkey Humpers, mosey to next corner, 25 Gorilla Humpers, mosey to next corner, 25 Monkey Humpers, mosey to last corner, 25 Gorilla Humpers Q controlled up/downs.

Something that’s been on my heart lately is how the world sees Christians. I read something or heard something a few weeks ago, “Christianity isn’t about being right”. That has stuck with me and come up so many times since then. A couple other points that have been impactful to myself are……”Christianity is about transformation not morality” and “It’s interesting that YOUR religion is the TRUE one”. Just a few things that have been weighing on my heart as I continue to figure out who I am as a child of God, a husband, a father. These are thoughts meant to just make you think. Sweet
