For a short period of time I was an education major. Specifically Elementary education. I thought I would make a good school teacher and i liked the young ones. Then during a opportunity to be exposed to what really happens in the classroom I realized that it really was not for me. And the education department at Heidelberg College realized it to. When the parents found out that I was funding a paste eating contest and even worse allowing other teachers to place their bets on what kid could eat the most paste I had to go. We'll come back to that in a moment. But you should know that despite my career changes I've always had standards.
And that's how Diamond Head started off this morning was with the standard. After that we moseyed down to the basketball court for a round of old exercises done in a new way. Started off with 10 shoulder rolls in Cadence forward and backward 10 half side straddle hops – – in other words only moving your arms --and then 10 kettlebell press right and left. We repeated this three times. We then attempted to do a bear crawl back and forth and the basketball court with squats at either end counting down from 5. This was a horrible idea and was suspended rather quickly.
For our next round we did 10 Renegade row right and left 1 and 10 double protractors followed by 10 cleans left and right.. We then lunged back and forth across the basketball court with the squats it either at. Again we didn't need all of this so I suspended operation rather quickly.
For the next round we did 10 flat on your back chest press left and right 10 Louganis and 10 snatches left and right. We then did a backwards lunge with squat countdown . But continuing in the format I pulled the plug on this as well. We did not get through our last round which included waybacks left and right calf raises and curtsy squats left and right. Time was called and we had to do c o t .
NMM So every teacher knows what it's like to have a couple of wise ass students try to mess it up for the whole class. And apparently Doremi and hoedown were those students. I don't know if they're home situation has gone afoul? Maybe they need to be medicated? Or maybe they're just jackasses. Whatever it is as the teacher of the class today I struggled to keep all of the students in line. But I do have to say that the Beatdown was significant and I was glad that I was there even with the a-hole students.
Not much in terms of announcements except there will be a 10K sponsored by the boys at MIP on Saturday December 5th.
Thanks for joining me this morning . It's important that we all get together no matter what our opinions might be on the state of our country and focus on the things we can do together. I know the workout was hard and nobody left early. The commitment that we make to spend time together may not seem like a big deal but it's quite possible it's the most important commitment we can make right now. Let's take the lessons we learn by all being together no matter our perspectives and deploy them in the other areas of Our Lives.
