Was able to push myself harder on this ruck session. Got up into zone 2 more. May need to bump up the weight a little to see the work I really want here. HR would drop down to zone 0-1 real quick if I wasn’t focused on pushing.

I’m currently refining our Junior MMA program and would love insight from coaches and athletes alike. Beyond the poll, what have you personally seen work best when coaching kids aged 5–14?

Good morning. Today’s 800 meters of lunges aren’t just about legs—they’re about faith under pressure. In Mark 4:38–40, the disciples were in the storm, afraid, exhausted, questioning if Jesus even cared. Yet He was already in the boat. Present. Sovereign. Unshaken. Some days the work feels heavy. The progress feels slow. The storm feels loud. But just like today’s steps, obedience doesn’t stop because conditions aren’t perfect. Lunge anyway. Trust anyway. Move forward anyway. When fear speaks up, answer with faith. When doubt creeps in, keep stepping. The same Jesus who calmed the storm is with you in every rep, every stride, every moment. Stay steady. Stay faithful. Finish strong. #Lunge4Jesus #1BibleVerseEveryDay #StepsOfFaithLungeClub
