COT

Spoke briefly about the LADDER workout method, or in this case LADDIR, and how it can relate in our life to building good habits. Once you decide to build a good habit, it’s always harder at first (hence the 25 reps on the first round). Once we do that habit for a specific period of time, it gets a little easier mentally (5 reps on the last round). We can utilize this method in thinking about our spiritual, emotional, physical, etc. habit building. If we start strong and understand mentally that it gets easier as it goes along, we can stay in the correct mindset to build those good habits.


Moleskin

PAX let me know parking lot is not near as FLAT as the other AO in the area: Hacksaw. Could get injuries from uneven potholes.

Music was way too loud without a real speaker, had to yell to hear and constantly keep turning it down during the workout.

The word ladder can be spelled with an I instead, I guess. Couldn’t find a good E exercise to throw in.

Chimp calluses were filed to perfection this morning. Hard choice between that and wet grass but we chose to file.
