Whatever It Takes…We’re Still Standing!

Preamble:

Norseman got after it on the last beatdown of May…a 13PAX of @BottomBunk @Callahan @Stu @Ha-Ha @Jethro @Crikey @Blistex @WaywardSon @NachoLibre @Saint20 @Cox @Funyun & @WalkieTalkie headed out into the slightly brighter (but definitely warmer) gloomfor a May 27th 2021 Beatdown.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to the pavilion for some Side Straddle Hops, Weed Pickers, Windmills, Hillbillies & Arm Circles. You’re right, Ha-Ha…they were actually Imperial Walkers. 

The Thang:

First, grab a coupon. DJ Jazzy Walkie Talkie had prepared a sick 8-song playlist that looked a little something like this…

Otherside – ​​​Merkins & run lap in two teams

Fight For Your Right – ​Squats & run

Good Life – ​​​LBCs & run

Final Countdown– ​​Curls w/coupon & run (no, not done yet)

Whatever It Takes– ​​Group Lunges & Burpees on “Whatever it Takes”

We Are Young –​​Skull Crushers w/coupon & run
Glory Days –​​​Flutter Kicks & run

I’m Still Standing – ​​Group SSH & Burpees on “I’m Still Standing”

@NachoLibre led the Mosey back to the flag for a minute of Mary. Great job pushing yourselves on the reps, Gents.

COT:

Heartfelt gratitude for all of those who gave their lives serving this great country.

Reminder of Alpharetta Murph workouts on Monday; three locations. Happy Memorial Day weekend, all.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Thanks to Ha-Ha for the coffee & bagels.

YHC Brought the Truth Nugget…Andy Stanley did a message on Sunday at NPCC called 5 Rules for the Road. It’s a great listen. But it reminded me of a book he wrote years ago called The Principle of the Path: How to get from where you are to where you want to be. It’s a phenomenal little book but one of the many takeaways is this…

Direction, not intention, determines your destination. We can’t get to Florida going north no matter how badly we intend to get there. Said another way…Discipline, not desire, ultimately determines where we end up. So congrats on having discipline in the area of exercise today. But take a look at the other areas of your life and make sure you are on the right path. Don’t procrastinate a U-turn if one is needed.

In the words of Imagine Dragons…”Whatever it takes. Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins. I do whatever it takes. Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains. Whatever it takes. Yeah, take me to the top I’m ready for Whatever it takes. Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins, I do what it takes!”
