The positive & negative characteristics of 11
It was 5:24 when No Regerts and I pulled into Conviction’s AO, and I was surprised to see the lot scattered with HIMs looking for their weekly moderate workout. By the time 05:30 struck, there were 11 total and we were ready to roll. YHC gave a disclaimer that suggested the workout was created for the AO, not any individual and that each exercise could be easily modified to fit each man’s fitness level. With that out of the way, we were off.
Slow mosey around main parking island to loosen up the legs. Gather at the curb facing the school & line up shoulder to shoulder. The COT started with a series of High Knees from one side of the lot to the other and Butt Kickers to return to the starting position. We repeated this 3X

Positive Characteristics: A Master number, the 11 is the most intuitive of all numbers. It is instinctual, charismatic, dynamic and capable when its sights are set on a concrete goal.
Negative Characteristics: The 11 can be anxious, shy, stressed, conflicted and scattered. When focus is not applied toward a goal, the 11 can be extremely self-sabotaging. As a Master number, the positive characteristics will turn into obstacles when not understood or used properly.
Why is this fitting? Because it accurately described the actions of the PAX despite my well-planned weinke. The exercises with the rocks reflected the “Positive Characteristics” — the exercises were instinctual, the group was charismatic and capable and the weinke was performed to perfection.
Not so for the pain stations in the bus lot. Per the description above, the PAX became stressed, conflicted and scattered despite my ability to clearly, concisely, & precisely verbally describe the instructions. The 11 clearly did not understand the vision I had in my head. For example, some pain stations had 3 people and some had 1 despite counting off in 2’s….
Regardless of the coincidental characteristics of the number 11 and the number of PAX in attendance, it was a solid effort by all who attended. If you disagree, Gypsy will refund your money.
It was an honor to lead. Keep doing great things
