COT:
Praise for health, family, F3. Prayers for family with illness, aging parents, traveling mercies for parents coming to town.

It was another great morning with my F3 brothers. The humidity was high, and so was the effort from the pax (all respectables today!). YHC heard some chatter about whether certain elements were ‘moderate’, but I don’t think anyone present this morning was unhappy about how they felt at the end of the workout. Having 50-plus and 60-year-olds out at 5am each morning, pushing ourselves, should make us all feel proud and extremely blessed. Few would have thought we’d be doing this at our ages! It was a pleasure leading the group today, and I look forward to the next one. Stay young, gentlemen!

5 alive not at the hive

Thought the title was catchy since it rhymed with hive. Nothing crazy, started with a little broga and a slight mosey to back lot. Did a few high knees, toy soldiers, butt kickers and mosey up and down the BB court. Did one round at benches of derkins dips and step ups 20 each.

Moseyed back to the front of school for the bulk of the work. Supposedly 4 exercises per minute but timing was a little skewed due to the Qs ADD. 10 reps each of WAM, merkins, mtn climbers, shoulder taps. Big loop mosey. Next squats, sumos, clave raises, and monkeys. Little loop. Abs big boys, weezy Js, amer Hammers, Flutters Big loop. SSH, jump squats, OH claps, Moroccan Nights. Little loop.

Had a brief Q/a on what’s big thing for summer. Good family focused responses.

Ab lab and wrap up.

Staying Dry

Listen: while I had an idea of what I wanted to do yesterday, I made this up as we went along. The rain cause me to modify. Needed to stay dry (well—WANTED to stay dry). I had a 2hr drive right after the workout to head up to see my dad in the hospital

We spent a lot of time undercover. And utilized a bunch of squats and lunges. Burpees are apparently frowned upon at a moderate. Duly noted :smiling_imp:

Prayers for our kiddos and our parents.

Happy days

WARMUP: ssh, windmills, imp walkers, hillbilly walkers and Peter Parkers, all in cadence
THE THANG: a round of 13s – 2 stations were set up a hundred or so feet from each other. Station 1 the pax did merkins and shoulder taps – starting count was one. The pax migrated to station 2 via lieutenant dans, and at station 2 did big boi sit ups and American hammers ( or was it Russian twists, I forget) – starting count was 12. The pax returned to station via a mosey around the parking lot.

The task proved a bit ambitious for us, as we reached 6:00 with a couple of rounds left to go, but at f3, we get paid by the hour, not by the rep, so the effort was honorable

After reminiscing about the old abc wide world of sports, we spent some time brainstorming some good f3 names inspired by IP of our youth. Don’t be surprised if an upcoming fng goes home named something like Danny Zucko, Fonzie, or Grimace.
MARY: negative ghost rider
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: prayers were lifted for vuvu and other pax in attendance
