AO: Riveter Station – WAR

PAX: Remi, Mango, Calamity Jean, Bindi

Disclaimer and Warm-Up

For this workout we did a Christmas themed bingo aka ‘CLAUS’. Pick a line either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal and do each workout, with a short run in between each exercise.

Countomara and Namorama

COT: Don’t take anything for granted, we never know what tomorrow will bring especially with the year we’ve had. Put everything in perspective and don’t dwell on the negative. Seize the day!

Q: Doublemint

AO: Ettas Nest
Pax: Jewels, Bindi, Salty and Lucy

Warm-up: 5 Motivators
High Knees in cadence
Little Baby Arm Circles in cadence forward and backward without dropping arms into Randy’s (Randy is from A Christmas story when little brother Randy can’t put his arms down. Just pulse arms up and down)

The Thang:  See pic below

COT: Today our workout was in the shape of a Candy Cane, so I wanted to share the story around the Candy Cane.

It had to be special to be a gift for the King of Kings, thought the humble candy maker from Indiana. Not just any piece of candy would do. It had to be hard candy because the church is built on solid rock and God’s promises are a firm foundation. It would be formed in the shape of the Good Shepherd’s staff. A “J” that would also stand for the precious name of Jesus.
But it had to say more. White stripes would symbolize the virgin birth and
sinless nature of Christ. Three small red stripes would represent the scourging Jesus suffered on His way to the cross. One large red stripe would remind those with eyes to see and ears to hear of the blood Jesus shed as payment for our sins. It would be a gift of love that would tell His story –
the greatest story ever told

Merry Christmas everyone!!

The Thang: DO YOU KNOW YOUR CHRISTMAS MOVIES?
split into teams! It’s a competition.

Team 1 reads off their Christmas movie line. If they figure out which movie the quote is from, they get to choose which exercise we will all do. If they choose to pass they can. If the other team gets it they get to choose the exercise. If team 2 gets it right, after the pass, team 1 has to do 10 burpees. If they get it wrong they run to the island and back. The team with the most points at the end will choose if we do Ring of Fire or Sally.

COT: share about Ben Bright suddenly passing away. Hug your people and love them well. Bless this family if you can!

Firecracker shares that her husband had a stroke this week. He’s in rehab now but needs a lot of prayer.
