Ode to Nairobi

Leave a comment

WARMUP: usuals
THE THANG: started off by discussing the brief history of our connection with F3 Nairobi and Safari (Phelix), shared the mission of bringing clean water to Homabay Africa, Safaris home and how it was divine intervention perhaps that brought Jonathan Fraufenhaur (F3 Mapquest) into F3 where he learned of F3 Nairobi. Our plans to raise 50,000 to fund the project over there led by Living Waters International of which Jonathan is an executive, and the involvement of the Fort.

I brought a Jerry Can to represent the cans that the people of that part of the world have to use to get water every day walking 3-4 miles to get to water sources that are not even clean!

The goal was to keep the can in the air the whole 45 minutes while we travelled to several pain stations bringing the kettlebells with us to complete the exercises at the stations.

Station one:

One Pax holds Can while other pax rotate through 4 exercises 10x each exercise once the Pax complete the 4 exercises the Can gets passed to the next Pax- 7 minutes total then we move to the next station-

There were 3 stations, actually 4 but we missed one because YHC forgot about it :man-facepalming:

Station 1
Press
Squats
Twists
Swings

Station 2
Bent over rows
Lunges
Clean to press
Plank drags

Station 3
10 Kettlebell Bent-Over Rows
• 10 Kettlebell Swings
• 10 Kettlebell Deadlifts
• 10 Kettlebell Sumo High Pulls

After this we walked back to COT, we held plank while PAX carried YJC to end of lot and back, then next Pax went to end of lot and back while we all did exercise called by the last pax that got back. Did this for 8 minutes

The hammer of Thor

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We got the party started with SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, and some stretching (hamstring and back).
THE THANG: Today was pretty straight forward and kudos to the avenger Thor for the inspiration of the different exercises.
– 10 reverse curls
– 10 shoulder press
– 10 tricep extension
– 10 squats
– 10 lunges each leg
– 10 upward rows
– 10 Thor hammer chops each side (basically low to high across your body, hip to above your shoulder)

Quick 30 second break, short jog, short walk back, farmer carry the weight to the next stop.

We got through 6 rounds. Thor hammers were deemed the worst.
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter, convergence and invergence happening
COT: jobs and mental health for the guys in the circle
