Backblast 8/1/20

Summit Q:

Q: Summit
Pax: Bindi, Tinker, Summit

Warm up: arm circles, high knees, windmills (not in cadence because I can’t count)

The Thang: Blackjack on Tombstone hill, starting with block burpees at the bottom and performing side lunges at the top of the hill (1 side lunge = lunge right and left sides).

The Skinny: We kept things carefree this morning, we went ahead and did some modifications to the planned workout: we skipped the blocks and just did modified burpees with hand weights. Instead of the planned squats at the top of the hill we did the side lunges to give Bindi’s quads a bit of a break.  We stopped for water and stretching throughout.  The sun came out about halfway through our workout and really got us sweating!

COT: I shared the “Well Done Game” today.  The instructions go: “For the next hour, say “well done, [insert your name here]!” after everything that you do.  Example, “Well done for making coffee, Amy!”  Notice how it feels to give yourself praise and positive feedback.

I have been doing this intermittently the last week or two and it really reinforces how important every action you take is.  I feel like more now than every, everyone needs to be giving themselves and those around them grace, as performing even the simplest tasks can be overwhelming and anxiety inducing.  I truly believe that we are all just doing the best we can, and by playing the well done game, you can remind yourself that you are doing your best too.
