We share each other’s burdens, and we hold each other accountable.  With this workout, we were accountable to ourselves to put in the effort and work, and to keep good form, but we also had a partner to encourage us and keep us accountable for keeping count and good form.  Having bricks on our back also helped us hold good form!  If I heard any bricks fall off backs, I was going to have us do penalty burpees, but I didn’t hear any fall at any point! Not just during workouts, but in life, with our family & work, we need to be accountable to God, but also ourselves, and others.  But we need to be surrounded by people who love us enough to hold us & keep us accountable.

Thankful for Hardcode and him always teaching us and helping us practice proper form on WO’s!  Thanks for inspiring this WO, Hardcode!

 

Great work you guys!
