THE THANG
Today’s workout was designed to be flexible enough the PAX could adjust the level of difficulty to suit their needs and give those going to the Spartan today a little break although that’s not quite how it turned out…
It was broken up into 5 stations with exercises repeated for 10 minutes at each station. PAX were given the option of a ten-minute repeating timer or 30-sec interval timer and ten-minute station switch timer and this is where the confusion began. The intent with the 30-sec timer was that some stations had 30 sec/1 min workouts, but that message was not conveyed quite accurately enough and there was some confusion at the beginning that every workout was 30 seconds without rest.
Group counted off by 5s and were broken up into different stations. We were a little behind schedule after the warmup so the final station was only about 7 minutes in length.

Today’s words of wisdom revolved around the vagueness of the workout and the original intention of allowing for allowing flexibility for the PAX to adapt it to their own needs. I’ve recently been studying the Old Testament of the Bible, because I think sometimes Christians have a bad habit of simply ignoring that part of the Bible due to its complexity and immense cultural differences.
The verse that specifically popped into my today during the workout was Gen 12:1 “Now the LORD said to Abram, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.’
The instruction was vague but Abram followed the instructions given to him. Sometimes in life we receive vague instructions from God or our leaders and it is our job to continually ask for guidance and direction as to how to proceed with a little bit of our own gifts and ingenuity.
