COT: Corrie Ten Boom story of courage and forgiveness. One of the meanest guards at the concentration camp she was at, came up to her after she’d spoken at a church service and told her he had become a believer in Jesus and asked her to forgive him. He extended his hand to shake hers. She froze. She realized she didn’t want to forgive him but she knew with Gods help she could. In that split second she asked the Father to help her forgive and she extended her hand to shake his. She knew it was only by His Grace that she could do so. Life is all about choices. She chose to forgive and continue to move forward and do good. She could have let the pain and bitterness win but she didn’t. She lived to be 91 and spoke extensively all throughout the world about her story of forgiveness.

Warm Up: high knees, potato diggers, stretch while I explained the workout

The Thang: Burpee Power Hour

I used a power hour music mix on YouTube, this switched the song every minute. We did 100 reps of exercises.

When the song switched, we did 1 burpee and continued counting.

The exercises were:
-bicep curls
-tricep extensions or kickbacks
-hillbillies
-lateral raises
(Ran a lap)
-shoulder press
-imperial walkers
-bent over rows
-squats
(Run a lap)

I think we did about 40 burpees

Ended with abs- 1 min of each heel taps, crunches, bicycle crunches, plank.

COT: between the FiA nation declutter challenge and watching a documentary about minimalism, I’ve been thinking a lot about my stuff, what’s needed, what’s clutter, etc. I’ve been a maximalist my whole life, but have found it so freeing to get rid of stuff I don’t really need.

Warm Up: squats, side lunges, jumping jacks

The Thang:
Blackjack with block burpees and Mike Tyson’s.
We finished with an ab circle: 1 minute of ankle biters, glute bridges, and leg raises.

The Skinny: I was a wreck this morning and forgot my contacts and water (ran back to the house for contacts lol); but the weather was warm so that’s a plus. It was rainy so we moved to the pavilion.

For black jack we ran half the length of the pavilion alternating our exercises.
By 18 block burpees my shoulders were screaming.
We took a break and did 2 rounds of 20-20-20 jumping jacks, squats, and bicep curls.

COT: I wish I was interesting and had something interesting or funny to say for a COT. BUT, the weather is warming and I’m so thankful for a change in season coming up. That’s all I got . Lol.
