I just returned from a trip to England with our GrowRuck team. I learned that regardless of our accents, we are one PAX with the same mission in mind. I had a wife tell me F3 broke her husband (Hoops). It broke him and rebuilt him into the father she always desired for her children and the husband she married years ago. You see, F3 is more than a fitness group – it is a way to unlock a man’s hidden potential to love and lead well. I am so blessed to be surrounded by men like Hoops. He was just like so many of us – lost without know it. Let his story inspire you to find your “why” and rekindle your desire to be an asset wherever you are.

Dancing at the Ballroom with all my Rowdy Friends!!!

WARMUP: After a brief discussion on where to get the best sliders on the EC ( it’s in Jersey of all places ) we got after it.
All in cadence – WMx10, CPx10, HBWx10, OCx10, MNx10
THE THANG: We moseyed to the back parking lot in front of the baseball field. Completed 20 SSH in cadence waiting on the 6. Island to Island was the distance, used the 2 parking lines forward, conduct 1 rep of an exercise then go 1 line back and conduct the same exercise. 1st round was bear crawl moving forward and crawl bear moving backwards with 1 merkin completed at every line. 2nd round was alt lunge walk moving forward, alt backward lunges to move backwards with 2 squats completed at every line.
Had enough of that parking lot so we moseyed along the winding road heading back to COT. Of course, we stopped to do some dancing with DORA. Shortened the running distance to make it a SPEEDY DORA, partners completed 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, & 300 Flutters(SC).
These guys were crushing it so we had time for another routine. Headed to the benches at the school entrance. 1 PAX was the timer while all other PAX performed an exercise. The timer was 10 burpees. Rotated 3 exercises as we moved down the line with PAX performing their 10 burpees – Step-ups, Gerkins, & V-Ups.
These guys don’t quit so we had time for more at COT. Asked the PAX to think of a physical weakness, then think of an exercise they will perform for 1 minute to strengthen that weakness. Battlebot definitely picked the most interesting weakness. You gotta show to know.
After the minute of pain was up we sat down and concluded the final 3 minutes of our wo time together with stretching ( something YHC doesn’t do nearly enough of ).
MARY: Didn’t need her as we practiced our 2 step and then danced with DORA.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter serve on 11/2, fundraising events, READ YOUR NEWSLETTER!
COT: Closed in prayer. Just wanted to say this was one of the most uplifting, encouraging groups I’ve had the privilege of leading! Loved every minute of it! Thanks for the opportunity Boogie Down!!!
