Plank sequence

THE THANG:
String of Pearls
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
20 lunges
25 ....... something
added an exercises each stop. (e.g., first stop = burpees only, second stop = burpees and merkins, etc.)
the 25 rep count was one of the previous exercises. So, when we found the literal end of the road it was stop 5 and we did:
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-burpees in cadence
Next end of the road stop was
5-burpees
10-merkins
15-squats
20-lunges
25-merkins
Ran out of time before finding all the ends of the road.
MARY: did imperial squat walkers at COT for the 6....that's kinda a core exercise, right?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Food Drive happening now. Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch
COT: was held
NMM:
When you find yourself at the end of the road, your left with the same resources that got you there. Gotta use them to get moving again!
I heard a reference to a "second starting" line in terms of my mammon (teaching music). That is: once we learn the notes and rhythms, there's a second starting line. We're finally ready to make art rather than simply craft.
When you hit end of a road, turn around and think of it as the second starting line. Ain't nothing to it, but to do it.
