Introduction
Workout goals are varied. We all walk a different path. Today is an opportunity to tailor your workout to fit your needs at this moment. Hit the gas pedal if you need a tough one. Coast if you’re in recovery. Just keep moving…

Mosey to 5 points
The Thang
Standard issue 5-points workout. Perform an exercise at the center of the 5-point complex, jog to a point for another exercise and then return to the center. Proceed through all 5 points.
Central exercise was 10 merkins for first time around the star, 30-second plank for second trip around the star, and plank push ups if you got to round 3.
BA Hill was always a bear crawl from the bottom to the top.
Gate Lane was always 5 burpees.
The other 3 points of the star were open for Pax to choose their own exercise and rep count. A goal was given by YHC to maintain a consistently elevated heart rate and keep the tempo high. Do not use the exercise portion as an opportunity to rest.
Circle of Trust
Thoughts for those associated to our group and suffering from medical illness. Thoughts for QT’s family and those children left without a good education opportunity in the coming months.
Naked Man Moleskin
Radical candor and vulnerability are traits to nurture – however uncomfortable they make you feel in the moment. Put yourself out there. Hold yourself accountable in front of your peers. Admit when you are falling short. Get better every day.
And get up early enough to use the restroom BEFORE the workout. YHC has become well aware of the precise location of each bathroom at any given point in a Q.
