The BackBlast:

Conditions: 99.7% humidity and cloudy
10 pax gathered in the patriotic gloom, complete with cutoffs and other festive apparel for those who got the memo, for a sweaty celebration of ‘Merica’s birthday.
After a few fits and starts with the 4th of July Spotify playlist (99% country with a dash of TSwift for Sandworm) and an offer to take up a collection for an ad-free subscription, we got underway.
Warmup:
  • 10 x Arm Circles (fwd/bkwd)
  • 15 x Michael Phelps
  • 17 x Merkins
  • 76 x Mountain Climbers (1776)
  • 56 x SSH – in honor of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence
  • 39 x squats – in honor of the 39 men who signed the US Constitution
  • 6 x burpees – in honor of the 6 men who signed both documents
The Thang:
  • Stars & Stripes – back & forth across back parking lot
    • 4 laps Walking lunges
    • 4 laps Bear crawl 🐻
    • 4 laps Crab walk🦀
    • 5 Star Jumps ⭐ at each curb
    • Out & back sprint on last lap (13 total stripes across the parking lot)
  • Mosey back to the pavilion
    • Captain Thor (1:4 BBSU/American Hammers) to 10/40 until time
Closing Thought:
Today we celebrate our freedom and Independence as a country. But I think we often misunderstand what freedom looks like.  It’s not just the ability to do whatever we want – we are freed for a purpose.
It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows.
 
For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom.
 
If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then?
Galatians 5:13‭-‬15 MSG
