Don’t let F3 be your mistress. No matter how great F3 is, we can’t allow it to take time away from our families. Get fit, make friends, strengthen your faith, but don’t prioritize F3 over them. Don’t let F3 become your primary focus.

Aye!

11th of The Fort

Posted In: The Fort

WARMUP: Quick mosey around the parking lot to lay out our lap we will do during the WO.

THE THANG:
Repeat performance of my Q yesterday at the Stockade. 45 minutes wasn’t enough so I am hoping 1 hour will do.

11s for 11 Years of The Fort
This was not a typical 11s workout, more like a mini board of pain. 11 rounds of 11 reps of 11 exercises. Do all 11 reps of each of the 11 exercises in a row, then run a lap, then repeat. After all 11 rounds are done, then finish it up with a crowd favorite.
Exercises were:
1. SSH 2 ct
2. Merkins
3. Mountain Climbers 2 ct
4. LSS
5. Imperial Walker 2 ct
6. CDD
7. Plank Jack
8. American Hammer 2 ct
9. Flying Squirrel
10. Ski Abs 2 ct
11. Lunge 2 ct
>> Run a lap (about 250m)
>> Repeat
>> When all 11 rounds are done, celebrate with 11 burpees!!

We got in 10 rounds plus the 11 burpees!! Great job PAX!!

While we were working out, when we could talk, we had some great discussions about
* Our needs or our why that motivated us to come out to our first F3 workout.
* Who EHd us, when, where
* What are we getting out of F3? How has it improved our lives in all three Fs. Short answer is alot and in many ways.
* All the impact F3 has outside of ourselves. A LOT!
* The importance of finding someone you can call a shield lock, whether within F3 or not.
* Who has inspired you? The importance of leading by example. Many reasons but also people see what you have going, how you are living/leading/leaving right and they may be inspired by you to attain that too.
* Who do we see in our everyday lives that could have a need or want that F3 could help with. Those are prime EH opportunities right there, Give it away!!

The stories share/heard today were nothing short of inspirational and reinvigorating.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* 11th anniversary of The Fort just passed. More celebrations are coming.
* Alot going on. Read your newsletter and get involved.
* D2D charity fundraising events for F3 The Fort scholarships and Bethel Mens Shelter will be coming soon!

COT:
* We each offered a prayer and a praise and laid them down at His feet for guidance, solace, peace, healing, strength.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. SYITG and Blessings.
