YHC was eager to Q the day after his birthday. The Ranch is and always will be one of my favorite sites. There are so many possible places around the grounds to deliver pain to the PAX.
After finishing a great book last week titled Mindset, YHC felt like he should share some of the lessons from it that he learned to the guys. We all have come to F3 for various reasons. Some to get into shape, some to be around men from the neighborhood who seem to have something figured out. Some just get an earful from their kids soccer coach that they say hey I’ll show up only to find out their are a bunch of guys in their community who just want to become better. Better husbands, dads, sons, people. For me it was a lot of all those things. 3 years ago I was just doing life, making it one day to the next, eyes only set on future career moves and making sure their was food and clothes for the M and 2.0s. I was in a fixed Mindset
Speaking to the PAX this morning about this book I wanted to let them realize no matter where they were personally at in their life we always needed to be looking at growing. We cannot become stagnant. We must challenge ourselves to grow, face challenges and accept being critiqued.
We definitely did all of these things during this workout hopefully we can keep it going throughout the rest of our days.
The beat down went like this.
Disclaimer- had to break it down myself since my lawyer did not show up. Plus we had a FNG.
Warmup- mosey, shuffle facing school, shuffle away from school, regular, butt-kickers, high knees, karaoke right and karaoke left.
Circle up. SSH x 41 (guess how old YHC turned), 10 windmills, 10 IW’s all in cadence.
Mosey to picnic benches. Talk about challenges in life and how we deal with them.
Derkins x 10, squats x 10, step ups x 10 all for 3 sets
Mosey to bus drop off- mumble about how we face obstacles in life and how we deal.
10 flying squirrels, 10 calf raises, 10 merkins take a lap around bus island do 3 sets.
Mosey to playground- yap about effort and always putting out our best.
5 pull-ups, 10 in and outs on swings, 15 leg lifts do 3 sets.
Mosey to back of school while trying to breathe talk about taking criticism on using it to better us.
wall sits, diamond merkins, jumping lunges x 10 on each for 3 sets.
mosey to front of middle school. ramble about the success of others and that we should try and find lessons and inspiration from it.
Now the fun do 10 burpees run around the big island until time is up. we only had time for 1 lap so whoever got done early had to do continuous burpees until the six came in. Mosey back to COT as a group.
Once at COT we discussed the results of having a fixed verses a growth type mindset. We all need to try and get into a growth mindset. I struggle, you struggle, our Ms struggle. We aren’t just here for the butt whooping we here to help each other out.
