Plank Therapy

Eight of the Valley’s Finest brought the wood this morning at the Beehive.  A combination of physical therapy- inspired excercises and group plank work followed.  Yes, the planks were real- ask the guys that dropped them on thier toes….   Dropbox was the Last Man Standing- Tally-Ho!!

Moser Pavilion

Lat stretch, forearm stretch             Perspective: being injured forced me to stop and think about the things I take for granted- to be able to be active, that I can get in and out of the shower, that I have a hot shower twice a day if I need to… When life gets tough with any kind of set back- it’s good to re- focus our priorities around God’s perspective.
