Started off the Pre-Veterans day workout with some standard warmup exercises:
11 SSH IC
11 Windmills (steady pace)
11 SJ IC
11 MNC (IC)
11 Merkins (IC)
Stretch
11 Mnt Climbers (IC)
Mosey to Mavis Brakes (this was a nice long mosey across Gold Hill)
Planked up and waited for the 6.
In Plank I talked about the next portion of the workout. Something I like to call the “Sergeant Major”
In short, the rep counts reflect the different units my Dad (a Sgt. Major) served in during his lifetime.
The workout for today laid out like this…
28 Burpees
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby
28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby
28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
112 HR Merkins
3 more laps around the parking lot of the school nearby
Whenever you finished you went and picked up the 6.
After this we mosey’d back to COT with a few minutes to spare
Led a round of Mary..
22 Flutters IC
22 HD IC
22 FM IC
Pusher quickly picked up on why the rep count for this last portion of the exercise. The point was made that our gratitude for our veterans should be equaled by our concern for their mental health and a desire to help them in any way we can.
COT was another great example of why we all joined F3 and still come back. What was said, stays there but it was a lot of what I needed to hear that day.
Men I’m extremely thankful for the service and sacrifices of our veterans (my Father and Brother in law among others…)
Hope the example of service and sacrifice continues to inspire and push us all to be better leaders in our communities and lives.
Take care,
