Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
This morning, I watched humans show up from all over the place. Then for some odd reason, we decided it would be fun to bounce, here’s the catch, they all repeated what I said, and then when I asked if they were all good…..well, they all yelled at me, two profound words that actually resonate with each of us.
We arrived, we ate some stairs, we had some hash browns, and then things got real! We were apparently going too fast, had some complaints about some lightning speeds up the stairs, next thing you know….it was a different kind of show up!
Who am I kidding….one of our insanely awesome members showed up while on the job and even dropped in his uniform to do some core! He repped the CPS well.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it….is to take this workout to the next level, give 100% and ‘SAVE THE SOLDIER’. Get through as many missions as you can in 40 minutes, and don’t forget to hug your partner!
Today, some alarm clocks got hit by the alarm monsters, and apparently we are short on repair men once again, didn’t matter though. We were on a secret mission, to conquer, devour, and spit out burpees, hills, and some other nutty, yet sane body movements.
Today, like every Monday we arrived, we maybe did some killer stairs, we maybe added burpees, and we maybe did some weird skipping thing. What I do know is we hugged some strangers, and welcomed some new faces.
I think each and everyone of us this morning, took a pause at the top of those pancakes…I mean stairs, and took a breath, the sun rose and our city was something to pause for, it was an amazing start to our Monday, maybe even…breath taking (yep, I wrote it).
Where to start….Peter led us off with a ‘bop it’ of his own, then into our bounce, where we mixed in some “Peanut butter…Jelly”, then we ran, oh San Fran….you could have a serious challenge going on in June, just puttin that out there now.
We ran our laps, maybe chasing down a chocolate burger, then we did more burpees than anyone can count (or we just lost track after the double digits). Then we dominated a few mountains. Once that was all done, we played a good game of pass the burger while in a v-sit, it was better than duck duck goose, although there may have been some attempts at taking bites out of the glorious burger.
Turkey Coma’s….some last minute cancellations for some well earned and harty stairs for breakfast. It was said that they slipped something in their turkey dinners that kept them from coming, I dunno if we believed it, but we still crushed some stairs, full on PB&J style.
We chanted the “peanut butter…jelly” beats, only those who show up know what its all about, guess you’ll have to be there Wednesday. Oh, and mother nature had a plan, she threw in some snow for us, and it was gorgeous, think the Easter Bunny asked her for it.
So weird, the Easter bunny pooped some egg’s all over the skate park, then made us work for them. He was kind enough to lend me his ears, just to make it more legit. He said that all he wanted was a hug, so we thought that was pretty fair, of course until he made us do 50 burpees and race hills to finish our workout, not to mention the team planks and mountain climbers. Thanks Easter Bunny, no wonder I was always told not to take candy from strangers.
Showed up, and took down stairs for breakfast once again. What was different? Well, not only the workout being switched up, but also our visitors from Winnipeg. Made me realize, this community that has started, this grassroots fitness….thing, well its pretty fucking huge, and awesome! The fact that we can go to 19 different cities and find these groups of people, these communities, these like minded individuals, and work our asses off, and leave with some pretty incredible friends. Can’t really beat it if you ask us, ok you got cheese instead of hashbrowns there.
We ran….then the games began. We rolled the dice to gamble away at how many of each exercise we were about to dominate. All I can say is wow, yep, this crew was beyond fierce this morning, they were ready for anything, and even after some possible green beer consumption, they crushed another Wednesday workout.
Today….Today, it snowed. We don’t care, we showed up, and embraced the snow, burpees were a challenge, so instead, we had jump squats for coffee with a side of stairs.
We have some ‘we missed you’ to add for the first time, and from what I was told, some alarm clocks didn’t work, looks like all alarm clocks in Calgary malfunctioned this morning, and we have a shortage on repair men, any offers from other November Project Tribes, I am sure the pay will be worth it since its in such high demand right now.
