Don’t Forget the Flowers!

WARMUP: Cohiba’s attempt at the F3 Mission flopped so we started with 10 burpees flower by SSH and some other moves. Then we set off on a field trip.
THE THANG: Pax covered 2 ish miles today with stops at Town Hall, Courtyard fka as Pike Electric, Millstone Park, Veterans Park, WEP playground. At each stop, pax took turns naming an exercise of choice and passing a Valentine to another pax. That pax got to draw one of 5 cards which led to the # of reps:

All hearts today
10 = 10 reps
Jack = 15 reps
Queen = plank while chosen pax shares Valentine’s Day wisdom learned the hardway (through Failure)
King = 20 reps
Ace = 25 reps

We moseyed home after the playground
MARY: yes, a few mins at the end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break the Dam, trash pickup
COT: prayers for health for several, job searches

A great morning of movement and fitness including many reps and many burpees. The pax were frisky and playful like a bunch of puppies, and the mumblechatter was strong throughout.

One of the many things I love about F3 is the multigenerational nature, and we had pax from 38-59 today. The span of age, geographic origins and backgrounds provided wide ranging experiences around the topic of romance and the Valentine’s Day holiday. Grateful for the enthusiasm, wisdom and humor everyone brought!

Parking lot Donuteeria was a success as well. Who’s gonna turn that into the norm?

Thanks for the invite JWOW and your solid leadership of our flagship AO!

Hitting all the Corners

WARMUP: Mozy past the bathrooms and stopped for SSH. We kept going and headed up the hill toward the parking lot for windmills then ran back down the hill and stopped near COT for squats.
THE THANG: We continued past COT ran up the parking lot entrance and across the street to the adjacent parking lot where four cones were roughly placed at each corner. (Not exactly a square and more like a “P” than anything else.). We did a “four corners” workout where each Pax did a full lap and stopped at the next cone for reps. After doing 20 reps of each exercise we ran a full lap + the distance to the next cone. Rinse and repeat until we completed all four cones. Cones were broken out as follows:
– Upper: Merkins, CDD, Dips, Shoulder tap merkins
– Lower: Calf raises, Bomb jacks, Squats, Monkey humpers
– Abs: Big boy sit-ups, American Hammers, Flutters, Box cuttahs
– Full Body: Burpees, SSH, Mike Tysons, Single-leg merkins

Once completed, (we did more running than planned) we found a patch of grass for Jack Webbs. Overhead claps/Plank jacks. 4/1, 8/2….32/8.

Mozy back to the Clam Shell for a wall sit ladder. Everyone in wall sit position with the person at the end bear crawling out to the grass for 5 Merkins. Rinse and repeat down the line until everyone took their turn. Back to COT with 2.6-2.9 total miles completed depending on whose watch you were going off of.
MARY: Just a bit. Hammers, Box cuttahs, Double D’s SSH thing while we were all face down on the pavement.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: upcoming CSAUPs.
