YOGA

THE THANG:
Mosey to the entrance of Pike Engineering for -2s of Derkins & Dips
Q3.10 Consistency – “The Consistent Leader is constant and regular in everything he does. His followers are drawn to him because his steadiness provides a safe harbor from the howling winds of Chaos and Flux that blow periodically through their own lives. He is their rock.”

Mosey to Print Shop for -1s of pull ups and knee ups.

Mosey to First Baptist Parking Lot
Plank it up – “Strong Routines are the framework of Consistency.” We in F3 know what to do. Wake up and exercise, everyday, We shouldn’t have to think about it, just do it. Remove unnecessary decisions, and create routines.
4 corners.
• First lap included 10 merkins at each cone
• Second lap included 20 squats at each cone
• Third lap included all of the reps – 10 merkins, 20 squats

A couple of teenagers stumbled upon us in the parking lot and joined in on the fun. We asked what they knew about F3 and appropriately answered “Yall are crazy.” A brief intro to F3 was given, and they were named Nastradamus and The Cobbler. Nastsradamus runs cross country and stayed with us to the next stop.

“The Virtuous Leader focuses on bandwidth not perfection.” Reminded the PAX that consistency will help minimize the flux in our life. This isn’t about perfection, but about limiting the lows in our life. The things that keep us away from a healthy lifestyle that enables us to lead.

Mosey to Massey Hill.
7s at the Massey Hill. CDDs and Peter Parkers.

MARY: Flutters to 0730hrs
