Stretch, stretch, stretch a roo!

Stretch, stretch, stretch a roo!

Seven men gathered in the Matthews UMC Eagle’s Nest for 45 minutes of deep stretches along with a few core exercises.  YHC had an early Q fail and forgot about the devotion.  I was a bit too worried about filling 45 minutes and it slipped my mind.

Here is your delayed Gumby Bible Verse of the Day from 1 Corinthians 16 verse 13.  ^“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”  Seemed appropriate for Pearl Harbor Day.  Always a good verse to keep in mind regardless of what’s happening in life.

The Thang: I started out yesterday’s planning session writing stuff down but after about 15 minutes I was all over the place so I had a loose outline in my head and winged it the rest of the way.  Not always the greatest way to Q but I think it worked out this morning.  We started with some deep breathing followed by a good 15-20 minutes of good, old fashioned flow complete with warrior series and a few hamstring stretches.  From there we moved on to about ten minutes of hip/IT band stretches, basically an extended runners lunge and pigeon series.  These hurt so good.

We finished up with some ab/core work in the form of a modified LBC series followed by a short merkin/plank series including the always popular diamond merkin.

Moleskin: I’m a HUGE fan of yoga. I spent about two years doing hot yoga at least three days a week and I miss it dearly.  Big T-Claps to Swiss Miss and High Tide for getting Gumby off the ground. My body appreciates it.  It’s hard to justify spending 45 minutes at home stretching with chores, etc .. needing to get done so Wednesday’s at the Scout Hut are among my favorites.  Deep stretches are good for the soul.  Thanks fellas for allowing me to Q this AM.

Announcements: Gumby is in need of Qs!  Swiss Miss and High Tide have set up a convenient signup genius.  The aforementioned site Qs have done every week up until today.  Madison and I have signed up for next month so let’s help out and put it on your schedule.  It’s as easy as watchin a youtube video and picking out a horrible playlist on your favorite online music service.
