      COT

      We partnered up in the beginning of the workout to symbolize as men we need other men in our lives, for accountability, fellowship, encouragement and affirmation.

      We are better together. Find a bro you can “Kick” it with!

      Today’s workout was all about getting the HIMS out of their comfort zone and to do something unfamiliar like kicking and punching targets. Payback for all the workouts when I felt awkward or not confident of my exercise form 🙂 


      Moleskin

      Q needed help during warm up – right calf injury still not recovered from Friday beat down at Hacksaw. SSH’s were killing him…..

      Lots of groaning as they were asked to kicked a little higher and use muscles and joints that don’t get used that much….

      Q observed that no ones knees are safe around these men, with the exception of Uncle Fester, his FNG – Outbreak & Pink Panther who were at least landing kicks above the waist! 😉
