ANNOUNCEMENTS: always – and read your newsletter too.

COT: My why for F3 is simple we can give others a path to being better while doing so ourselves. In our lives, there are things that make us better off, or worse off. The mission is simple and compelling.

Prayers were lifted up for U-Haul and his family and DD & his M going through cancer treatment.

Praise for Sofrito turning 50 and respect.

This was a Q school workout. Reminders shared wi the pax are below. Thanks for the call Cubbie 👁️

Q-school Tips: 3-31-26
1 – when running fitness levels vary widely; 4 corners is great.
2 – calling cadence demonstrated
3 – scout your site beforehand if possible
4 – keeping the group together: run-exercise-run-exercise-run-exercise
5 – 5 minutes of Mary – great way to have a new pax call an exercise and lead in a cadence
6 – have a modified exercise in reserve if fitness levels vary widely – ie: burpee modified down to a flying squirrel or a squat into a plank and return to upright. Modify as needed to avoid injury; don’t modify to avoid effort
7 – partner work (ie: Dora) – encourages pax and takes cadence off of Q (freed to lead…..and delegate)
8 – site q is responsible for site; q is responsible for the outcome of the workout: Credo part 1 – leave no man behind
Credo part 2 – leave no man where you found him

Good group for a chilly morning. Decided to be super creative and use date as workout plan. Yog over to side of lowes for 3 exercises, 13 reps of each: HR merkins, big boys, and squats. Repat this at 2 more stops until we ended up near the Imdian restaurant. Break up into 3 teams, 2 teams work while 1 team does active rest. Teams 1 & 2 do 10 merkins while team 3 holds plank, then 2 & 3 merkins and 1 planks, then 1 & 3 merkin and 2 planks. 2 rounds of this. Then same sequence but big boys were the exercise and 6″ leg holds were the rest. 2 rounds of that. Then another 2 rounds with squats and Al Gores. Yog over to main parking lot. Everyone line up on curb for 15 merkins, 15 big boys, and 15 squats, then run 3 line suicide. 13 merkins, 13 big boys, 13 squats, 2 line suicide. 11 merkins, 11 big boys, 11 squats, run to far line and back. Circle up, PAX are doing shoulder taps while 2 do 5 merkins. Rotate merkins around the circle until everyone has done 2 sets. Next round was lunges and 3 burpees. Again go around until everyone did 2 sets of burpees. Back to the cars for a few minutes of Mary. Thanks for the opportunity <@U04M7P605SM>!
