This morning, while the rest of New Orleans slept, Project November (or is it the other way around?) gathered to play games, to compliment each other and to work their butts off and caught it all on camera.
While my voice was only at a 4/10 today, the bounce must go on and it’s here that we find our first childhood game of the morning. 120 people started bouncing together as whispers spread round the crowd in the most successful game of Telephone ever! When the hushed voices ceased all yelled the mantra in unison, “Be good! Do good! Work hard!”. “Good morning!”s got louder and “y’all good?” was responded to louder still until even our friendly neighborhood cameraman wished he could join in the fun. Off they go for a lap and some stairs!
(Seriously, Patrick from WDSU, if you ever do get switched from the morning show gig we’ll welcome you back to be part of the workout. Until then, keep feeding live shots of these crazy/happy/loving humans to all those who wish they’d just shown up!)
Breakfast is essential and stairs are on our menu every Wednesday, but after a healthy portion we were all ready for a little fun and games. Time to enter the battle zone! After you lunge your way to zone 1, you must find a partner and challenge them to a Compliment Squat battle. Face off in a squat hold position and compliment your opponent until a winner emerges…You Laugh, You Lose!
The laughing side starts back at the beginning with burpees, lunges and then another shot at glory. Winners lunge their way up the stairs to tackle a new challenger – Rock, Paper, Scissors in Zone 2.
Rinse, lather and repeat as the winners lunged their way up more stairs to reach the high heights of Zone 3. A win here earns you 1 point and one less stair sprint at the end.
Enough with the dramatic explanations; if you’re still confused then maybe you just had to #justshowup to experience the laughs and chaos with us. Thanks again, tribe, for putting up with my voice and my goofy workout ideas…thanks for looking as beautiful and strong as ever for our live morning news spot…and thanks for being you.
“Be good! Do good! Work hard!”
