  • When: 02/21/18
  • QIC: Bada Bing
  • The PAX: McDreamy (respect), Snaggle, Outhouse, Full Monty (respect), Zamboni (respect), Bullwinkle, Gambler, EZ-Go, *69, Crash, Mad Hatter, Biscuit, Happy Feet, Check Please, Squeege (respect), Skim

That just happened…F3 Broga just went mainstream! 17 trailblazing, warrior PAX posted as they may have been told that Broga was the new bacon in the mens health and fitness world for 2018. Just as bacon will turn PAX into true warriors, Broga is the conduit to enter into your warrior spirit. As always, YHC pulled up to AO with a nama-slay classic rock playlist. However, today we would not be living “life in the fast lane” but devoting our attention to focus on precision and skillful movements. YHC kicked off Broga with a few pearls of wisdom for the PAX to chew on and think about.  

  1. “A warrior must be skillful both in action and non-action; both in movement and stillness.”
  2. “Remember, our breath is like an anchor, helping to keep us securely grounded in the present moment”
  3. “Focus on each movement and the transitions to master the basics while maintaining the fullest expression of the pose”
  4. “Don’t bail out when it hurts, breathe through it, endure the struggle and develop mental toughness”

COT/BOM

Genesis 2:7: “God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life”
The next time you’re in the middle of a challenging evolution – either in the gym, or in life – inhale deeply and remind yourself the breath of God is in your lungs. It’s not bailing out of the struggle but enduring through the struggle. Remember, “A warrior must be skillful both in action and non-action; both in movement and stillness.”
