Warm-a-Rama
Chumbaburpee
To the song “Tubthumping,” the #1 hit single (in Canada, Italy, Ireland, and Australia) from the 3x platinum album Tubthumper by the timeless band of musicians known as Chumbawamba:
1) SSH as soon as the music starts to play. Continue SSH until end of song unless you are performing burpee (see step 2).
2) When you hear “I get knocked down, but I get up again,” execute one burpee.
YHC forgot to bring his portable bluetooth speaker, so the music was not as loud as promised. YHC will do better next time. The PAX seemed to hate this warm-up, so we’ll be doing it again soon.

MERKINATOR
Start at one end of parking lot.
Bearcrawl to station #1; perform one merkin; mosey back to start.
Bearcrawl to station #2; perform two merkins; mosey back to start.
Bearcrawl to station #3; perform three merkins; mosey back to start.
[At this point, the QIC should remind the PAX that they are only doing 21 merkins for this entire exercise.]
Bearcrawl to station #4; perform four merkins; mosey back to start.
Bearcrawl to station #5; perform five merkins; mosey back to start.
Bearcrawl to station #6; perform six merkins.
[Hold Al Gore until all PAX finish.]
YHC was going to have the PAX complete the next exercise in the grass. However, when he was holding Al Gore, he noticed some fireants crawling along the curb directly in front of his feet. He then felt a bite from one of those ants and decided to vacate the premises.

The PAX were nicely lathered up at this point but had finished the routine five minutes ahead of schedule. This put YHC in a bind, as he was not prepared for such excellence. When in doubt, do squats!

Count-o-Rama [Radio had to split, but asked the PAX to pray for his family after the loss of his grandmother.]
Name-o-Rama
COT / BOM: YHC had prepared a word from the Word about physical and spiritual training, but Radio’s request had put him in an Emotionally Erect state. YHC had heard of Radio’s grandmother’s death at church just yesterday and was impressed by the Legacy left by Patti Ozier. Dredd is focusing on Legacy this week as the topic for QSource, and this woman indeed left one behind. Her obituary reads, in part:
She was devoted to her family and is survived by her [three] children, . . . nine grandchildren, . . . and 20 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, First Evangelical Church Missions Fund and Young Life of Memphis were lifelong ministries she supported.
A legacy indeed!
