Turbine then took the opportunity to discuss the word of the month; Humility. The discussion was to symbolize that one must be humble and willing to look up the rungs of a ladder to the next man who needs the support of F3 in his life. We as leaders have a natural tendency to look down the ladder rungs as we reach higher and higher on the ladder, but in reality, we need to always look up. Looking up to lift the next brother with us. Example used was “A” man who has things figured out and is a HIM, while we need to be look for the “B” man who need us and need the uplifting.

Thanks Turbine for stepping in at the last minute to help Burgundy Co-Q.

Burgundy took over and made everyone get in the plank position in a big circle and we did a Burpee wave. One person did a burpee and then got back in the plank position – then the next man did a burpee and we went around the circle. Then we stretched out legs and then did the Burpee circle again just in the opposite direction.

Then we ran to The Octagon (covered picnic shelter) and did two rounds of the following:

10 Merkins

10 Derkins

10 Ierkins

10 Spidermen

10 Carolina Dry Docks

We did one round of the following:

10 LBC’s

10 Flutters

20 Gravediggers (10 each side)

10 American Hammers

10 LBC’s

Now for some fun – we ran to a big soccer field and counted off 1 – 2 – 1- 2 and so on.

The PAX # 1 lined up on the end of the soccer field against PAX #2 and Burgundy was in the middle.

The people on the end had to sprint to the middle of the field to Burgundy and whoever got there first had to give the losing team exercises to do. After several rounds of sprints, we did a bear crawl race and then a burpee broad jump race. Fusion destroyed it!

Then ran back to the American Flag for COT.

It was a hot, humid day and not sure the protocol of taking your shirt off in a workout, but today was a close one of that happening.

So proud and happy to see the guys over 50 (Respect) showing up for a workout. You guys are true leaders.
