Have You Ever Had One Of These Days?

Here's an interesting short story from my good friend, Joe.

A lot of you might recognize him from the hit movie "The Secret".

Wild and windy

For today's class, I split the group up into equal teams of 5.

Each team had a 12lb medicine ball, a couple of dumbbells and were challenged to score as many points on the following exercises as they could in 12 minutes.

1) Bastardos x 10 = 1 pt
2) Slam ball with the medicine ball x 15 = 1 pt
3) Dumbell swings x 20 = 1 pt
4) Situps x 25 = 1 pt
5) Dumbell alternate curls x 30 (15 per side) = 1 pt
6) 1 legged broadjumps (landing on 2 feet) = 1 pt

The goal was for each member of his/her team to perform as many exercises as they could and to earn as many points for his/her team in 12 minutes.

We played 2 games.

The winning score was 105 points!

It was a little windy and threatened to rain but no one noticed - nor did they care :)

Are you at level 1 or level 2?

Todays class was inspiring.

I was a little worried that this workout might be too tough.

But...I was wrong.

Here's what the class did:

Run along a marked course. The course was marked by orange cones. The length of the course was .75 miles - about 3/4 of a mile.

At the end of the running portion of the fitness course, I had 10 rings on the ground that each participant had to broad jump from beginning to end.

After they had run 3/4 of a mile.

At 6 in the morning.

Next, were 20 reps of ring rows, 20 reps of spidermans and 20 reps of step ups or jumps.

Finished.

Level 1's goal was to complete the course 1 time.

Level 2 was to complete the course 2 times.

I would use my stopwatch to time them.

I wasn't sure how many would finish the course once much less twice.

Most of this group was not use to running what I would call long distances.

Sure, they have endurance and strength but this was a different type of challenge.

But one that they all rose to the occasion to.

They all finished - some once, some twice.

And at the end of the class they walked off of that playground, heads held high, knowing that the day was theirs.

I should have had a level 3 :)
