06/18/2025 - rosewater - #growwithjo beatdown!

BackBlast:

At 6am this morning per our usual, three PAX were at Rosewater, underneath the awning due to some misting. We stretched it out with:

• Good Mornings to wide open arms, repeated
• Squat to side bend, alternating to each side
• Squat to twist with raised straight arms to both sides, palms facing up, twisting both directions

Then I hit play on a #growwithjo YouTube workout (which I hadn’t pulled out in a while!), and it included a warm up (and cool down)! I watched and followed Jo on my phone, while the other PAX followed me. It was a high-energy,  moderate-cardio workout with upbeat music, that got our hearts pumping, moods boosted, all muscles working, and days started with supposedly 5000 steps already in! It was a variety of exercises for different parts of the body set to varying timers tabata-style, with 2 water breaks built in and a handful of ads to skip, throughout.

Here’s the link to the specific workout, but her whole channel is great!

We paused at her cooldown to do a few rounds of Ab-o-Rama on our mats, before finishing up the video with her cooldown stretches! And we were able to chat and catch up with one other along the way.

Wrote my own COT for today:

The more we have, the more we have to give!

The more we learn, the more we have to teach!

The more we know, the more we’re accountable to!

The more we are loved, the more we can love! And we are loved to the utmost by the Father, so we can love well!!

Then as always we wrapped up with announcements, Name-o-Rama, and a group photo! Sun had come up and no more mist! Just a ton of sweat from humidity and a good cardio workout😍
