It has to happen. No matter how awesome a location you have to host your #worldtakeoverworkouts or how creative the leadership may be, at some point you have to go back to the war chest and reuse some of your favorite workouts. Behind the scenes, NPNO leadership does a lot of analysis and critiquing to try and get the perfect balance of “Dam that was hard” and “Shit that was fun”. This also leads to an occasional freak out.
Side story/Example: Its Tuesday night and you are trying to celebrate your kids one year old birthday and you suddenly realize that you forgot to tag the shirts, you don’t have certain props for the workout, and you also realize that you lost the speaker for good when left it at the Friday workout. (Author note: If anyone happens to drive by the lakefront and sees the speaker sitting out on the boardwalk, please grab it for us). Big thanks to Cameron for making a night run to costco last night to SAVE the MUSIC.
Don’t get me wrong, this is not complaining. We all love this group and love doing everything that comes with it. We just want to put on the best work out and have everything be Fucking awesome. But sometimes, even with all the planning, you have to go back to an old faithful workout. It is nice though when you can add a little twist to it. Todays Twist: Tennis Balls
Today we did our bounce (broadcast live on Periscope!), we did our stairs, and then we did a circuit workout. Then there were tennis balls being thrown around with different workouts written on them. When you had completed the workout, you were to pass off the tennis ball by yelling “INCOMING!!” and then throwing the ball to another tribe member. The sound of people randomly yelling “INCOMING!!” throughout the workout and the sounds reverberating off of the champions square walls was pretty funny. All in all it was a great day.
Want to give a shout out to Carl for winning the positivity award today. Carl #justshowsup and fiercely attacks the workout on Wednesday and Friday. Sadly, we could not give the positivity award to Carl because last week’s winner Tina left the stick at home. So in place of presenting the stick, Carl and the rest of the Tribe was serenaded by Tina to a rendition of “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”. Video of the singing to come later.
Announcements:
Friday workout will be at the lakefront this week. We get to 80 people and #hotcheetos and #takis are going swimming. This week could be the week.
