Wait..what?!?

WARMUP: @Double D kicked us off with a disclaimer and quick mosey around the parking lot before we circled up to do a handful of warmup-y type exercises…I would list them out, but can’t recall exactly what we did as (unbeknownst to most of the PAX) I was more concerned with concealing the speaker I was carrying for my portion of the Q.  Kudos to @Pusher for noticing. I do, however, recall the group providing the 5 core principles of F3 as we had an FNG EHd by @OldBay

THE THANG: After warmups, @Double D mentioned the theme for the day, which was Adaptability and Agility and then handed off his Q to YHC.  I proceed to expand upon Adaptability and Agility and the need as leaders to be both Adaptable and Agile as there is always something that comes at us unexpectedly.  We then proceeded to mosey to the Lowe’s parking lot where we circled up for 15 mins of EMOM (every minute on the minute) of the following exercises:
1 burpee
2 lunges each leg
3 merkins
4 low squats
5 SSH

*Music started off on AC/DC radio and switched halfway through to 90s Hip Hop to accommodate @Pusher’s musical preference.

The PAX then mosey’d to the top of the hill by the gas station for a few plank jacks before moseying back down to the lot for what started out as a quick broga session that didn’t feel right due to the 90s Hip Hop, which was adapted to a 16-PAX circle of PAX-led mary.

21s have short term memories

WARMUP:
SSH
Windmill
Low slow squats
Lil baby arm circles

THE THANG:
21s merkins and squats
Started at bottom of hill by light poles. Ran up hill to next light pole between sets. At 11 we turned around

For those who don’t know 21s, you start with 1 merkin and 1 squat. Work your way up to 21 each.

Pax were to fast so I had to make some stuff up on the fly to fill last 10 minutes.

Each pax grabbed a rock of medium size. Some pax don’t listen very well and they had to change.

Start on your back with rock at your waist. Arms extended. Raise rock over your head and touch it to the ground – 10

Toe touches – 10

Repeat those exercises with rep count of 8

Move up toward school to do some abs and 10 more merkins and squats.

Total of 240 merkins and squats for the day.
