Thrive Challenge

Thrive Challenge

Thrive means to grow, develop, flourish.
Well how do we know if we are thriving? We need to have a baseline to measure from.

This was a different workout, no cadence, no COP, no Mary. This is you vs you to set a baseline to compare back to at a future challenge.

It went something like this…
Perform exercise 1 using whatever time you need to still have the best form you can muster. Once complete you will run, walk or crawl (Glass Joe with your #Dusty toes) a predefined lap around the perimeter of the parking lot which was about 1/3 of a mile.
Get back and complete exercise 2, do lap, etc.

Get through as much as you can until time is called. If you cheat or cut corners you are only hurting yourself and your baseline. I don’t care if it takes the whole time to get through one or two things, that will be the baseline you will work towards crushing the next time.

Here was the list:
Mountain Climbers – 100 (count each leg as one)
Lap
Calf Raises – 150 (50 regular, 50 toes pointed in, 50 toes pointed out)

Merkins – 100 (25 wide, 25 regular, 25 narrow, 25 diamond)

This was tough, as a challenge should be, and this group of PAX did such an awesome job! Seriously proud of this group of guys.

I was going to post how far everyone got but I will hang on to the results for next time. The only person I will call out is Shepherd who made it to the lap after squats which means he did 3 miles of running also. #Beast Although I am still questioning his counting skills to be about 2 exercises past everyone. #Wheaties #SuperPastor or #O2Dep #miscounts, you decide.

We will do this again in about 2 months and track our progress.
Always an honor to lead!
Aye!
