In honor of the World Cup I decided to do the beatdown on the soccer field. Kept it simple today with a 4 corner setup. We stayed together as a team, when finished PAX held squat, plank or SSH until 6 finished, when moving to next cone once a PAX reached cone, we picked up the six.
10 burpees. 25 curls, 25 coupon squats – rifle carry to next cone
25 skull crushers, 20 side lunges (10 each leg) – murder bunny to next cone
25 Reverse curls, 25 lunges – rifle carry to next cone
30 lawn mowers (25 each arm), 25 coupon swings – murder bunny to start rinse/repeat

Thankfulness. Yesterday was thanksgiving, a day for us to express our thanks for things in our lives to those we are with and love. My ask is that everyday we be thankful and let it show. We live in a country that is in the top 1% of the wealthiest in the world. We are free to move about as we want, to believe whatever we want, we have a roof over our heads, a warm bed to get out of, food abundant, and so much more. We are some of the luckiest people in the world and too often we let the troubles of life overshadow these truths. Bad shit will happen in our lives, we cannot control that but what we can control how we react. We need to try and remember the blessings we have in this life, be grateful for what we have, be thankful that circumstances are not worse than they are, not diminishing what’s happening not all, but be aware that it could always be worse. I believe that having a mindset of gratefulness, thankfulness and realizing you are blessed (remember 1%) that changes your demeanor, your inner self to that of being joyful even in the midst of trouble. There is no better way to spread joy than to show others how to be filled with joy and not let others, life .. take it from you no matter what.
