Title loading…

WARMUP: produce pickers, windmills, imp walkers, plank/down and up dog stretching, Peter Parker’s, all in cadence
THE THANG: we moseyed to the back parking lot and started at the first island of the top row. We progressed up the row, stopping at each island to do a set of exercises and the moseyed to the next island. Once we reached the end of the row, we moved to the next row and made our way back

The exercises were called in an accumulator fashion. First island was Carolina dry docks

Second was ccd and merkins
Third was ccd, merkins, and adding big bois
Fourth added American hammers
Reaching the fifth island added flutters
The sixth added monkey humpers
And the seventh added jump squats

The rep count for the first pass through this garden of bliss was 5

The second row we did 10 of all of it

The third row we did 15 of everything

We didn’t quite finish row 3, but we got in the work

Once the mumble chatter hit that magical point where the complaints started to drip into the conversation, I shared that my first idea for this morning was way worse and consisted of basically spending the 45 mins bear crawling around the parking lot, and when you needed a rest, you could take that rest while you did LBCs. This would have been way less enjoyable, and thankfully we were all spared this terrible idea

MARY: we barely made it back to cot on time

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!
