Q: Atlas


Date: Monday, November 2, 2020 5:30am
AO: Riveter Station
PAX: Margarette, Freestyle, Msafiri, F-Stop, Gish, Peaches, Salty, Atlas
Disclaimer: I am not a professional. Workout at your own risk and modify exercises as necessary. Johnson City and FiA are not liable if you get injured. Please stay 6 feet apart and don’t share equipment.

Warm-up: High knees and jumping jacks in cadence

The Thang: There were piles of fun-sized candy bars and a list of the number of calories in each type of candy. Different exercises were taped to each piece of candy. This was a partner workout. One partner would pick a piece of candy and read the exercise. Then they would look at the calorie chart and that would be the number of reps the pair had to do. While one partner started on the exercise the other would run a lap to the farmer’s market and back. They took turns until the reps were finished then picked another piece of candy with another exercise. PAX continued until time was up.

The Skinny: “Say it with me: things grow here. This year is not a waste or a wash. You still get the opportunity to respond, to react, to cultivate what you’ve been given. It is happening – you ARE changing the world, with your words and actions and love and relationships. You get to decide how you’re changing it. 

Some quick questions to help you cultivate this season TODAY: What are you grateful for: are you able to express it? How are you using your words: to speak life or death? What does it look like to love and serve today: what small or big things can you do to bless those around you?

Things grow here. If you’re still standing (or sitting cause this year has been a lot), go ahead and get our hands dirty in the soil and see what fruit might be headed your way. God is mighty in you. Keep going ” Jessa Connolly

Salty Q:

Q: Salty
Pax: Buttercup, Cleats, Jewels, firecracker, Zinny, Splits, Lucy, DoubleMint
Disclaimer – social distance

Warmups- high knees, arm circles, jump jacks, stretches

The thang: There’s a pumpkin filled with candy. On each piece there’s an exercise and number of reps. (Rep #s coordinate with the amount of calories in each piece of candy so they were higher than normal). Everyone picks 4 pieces and do them as individuals. Then we will do a short Dora with other pieces. And a “lady bug” if we have time.

COT: Psalm 23:1 the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. We all have EVERYTHING we need!! (Maybe not all we want! But that’s ok! It’s character building and we can learn to be content). Life is crazy right now but we all need the reminder that we all NEED NOTHING!! Finances may be tough, COVID may have been a huge distraction, life may be topsy turvey but you have no NEED unmet! That’s awesome and worth celebrating. PRAY

CoT: “Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.” It’s been a really difficult time lately and tense/stressful situations have only gotten worse. Even in what seems like the worst moment or worst interaction, I want to make sure that I am choosing a positive attitude and radiating that to others.
