Have you ever thought about the power of a high five? Yeah, me neither. But today’s workout had me thinking about it. We asked y’all to make sure to do one thing as you passed each other on the top of the levees today – high five and motivate each other. And now, while I often make grand requests like this, everyone typically starts off listening but the energy fades as the exhaustion of the workout kicks in… but not today.
After a solid 15 minutes of self-paced levees, we had y’all partner up. The workout went as follows: Partner A did an ab exercise of Partner B’s choice while Partner B ran to Lou, who was far, far away, and then returned to relieve Partner A. Swap & Repeat. I was lucky enough to get to join in on the fun today with Two-A-Day Todd. And holy shit, I was tired. But you know what kept me going? The high fives. Every single one. All the way to Lou and back, I was flooded with positive energy, motivational shouts, and fucking high fives. Most of this week I’ve been pretty low on energy (yes – it’s possible), but y’all had me in such high spirits on those levees this morning. Fuck yeah.
Off to good ole tabata we went to kick some more ass. While I could talk for days about the greatness of our tabata sessions, the best part of today was when Glenn pulled a Glenn and had us do Imma Stars. And with that, I just want to say this: YOU ARE A STAR. I don’t care how you feel or what you say, I am going to go about my day today thinking one thing: you are a fucking star.
So go win your day, NOLA. And remember that you are a star and that everyone could use a good high five.
