if our workouts are already #adultrecess, what do we do when it’s time to *actually* go #backtoschool? for this week’s lesson, your tribe leaders prepared the class to expand our minds by making new friends and embracing growth. so we put away our shyness and those first day of school jitters- all those doubts, insecurities, and fears- and we woke up and welcomed the day with open arms.
lesson one: a quick “get to know you” squat warm up led to a “hello, my name is…” first name spelling challenge. and with introductions out of the way, for lesson two, we donned backpacks filled with donated school supplies (and weights), then ran through a circuit that had everyone bear crawling, hopscotching, and step lunging in the open air classroom that is baldwin park. and for today’s final lesson? continuing to roll our way through #hardCORE august, we wrapped the day up with a gnarly plank circuit that had us counting down the minutes until that darned bell rang. #savedbythebounce
after school special: thanks to ray for taking care of it for so long, but it was finally time to hand off the positivity award to our wonderful mariana, the shining light who deserves a gold star for all her infectious energy and generosity!
