GAMES/PIZZA NIGHT– Thank you to all that attended. We had a great turn out and the night was lots of fun. Once again I forgot to take photos, however many pictures are etched in my mind (most not resembling what they should have) 😀 Well done to Chloe’s team for taking the win for Pictionary, and it appears that Lloyd is taking the blame for Nata’s team for loosing, but at least he brought the laughs 😀
REMATCH shortly???

Unbroken Man makers *

*Increase push-ups on each rep.

Partner workout

Four rounds for max points.
In 6 minutes:
Run 560m,
then in remaining time:
AMRAP of:
Devils Press (2 x 22.5/15kg) (3 points)
Wall Ball 9/6kg (1 point)

Rest 2 minutes

*Both partners complete the run, then can share movement/repetitions anyhow. Only 1 member can be on a movement. Eg. Partner 1: devils press, Partner 2, wall ball, then swap. Either partner can start movements prior to the 2nd member completing the run.

Photo: You may have noticed Winnie’s name on the board over the school holidays. Each day she would create a workout to complete as the adults did their session. These often included a cart wheel during transitions. I think I might take some programming inspiration from her.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps:
Dumbbell Bench Press *
Strict Gymnastics Pull

*Choose a weight that allows for unbroken efforts on the bench press.

Photo: Congratulations to our beautiful girl who just won Bronze at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships in Dehli, India. You never cease to amaze me with your dedication, determination, love and humility. We love you beyond belief and are so proud of you!!
We are blessed to be travelling this path with you. The world is yours – keep loving and living it the way you want!!!

Photo: Karla. It is great to see Karla back into the swing of things, regaining strength and pushing it in the box. Awesome work 👏
