WARMUP: I don’t recall
THE THANG: We only do this for the stats
MARY: No chicks
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter
COT: The 5th Core Principle
There’s something special about having 3 people posting together. The group is small enough to keep everyone together and it’s easier to have some meaningful conversation along the way. I really enjoyed my time with these guys this morning. IT was a cold one!
WARMUP: 10 SSH, Imperial Walkers, merkins, Mt. Climbers
THE THANG: A leisurely run around NaFo, We toured the campus while stopping at each feature to various exercises. At each stop we discussed Thankfulness and what our response should be to all that we are thankful for.
MARY: LBC, Flutters, dying cockroaches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter
COT: Prayers for all that we are thankful for!
This was the first time Qing at TC Elem. Not the closest sight for me. Started with a mosey around the back with a couple stops for SSH, stretch, IW, HW more mosey. Get to bus drop off area for more warm up MNC, O/H Clap, merkin and Peter Parker. I came by earlier and dropped off sand bags and station cards.
We had 4 stations with 4 rounds. The thang was do each exercise for 1min and then move to the next station. Complete 4 stations = 1 Round. After each round a lap around the bus parking lot.
Round Sta 1. 2. 3. 4
1 – Curls. Merkin. Dips. LBC
2 – O/H Press. WAM. MH. Plank Jacks
3 – Curl/Hold. Diamond. Calf Raise. Plank Tucks
4 – Squat. CDD. SSH. Flutter
Mosey with bags back to front of school for Mary. Closed out with COT.
Thanks Maximus for the opportunity to lead and share the sandbags from an old AO “Normandy”. AO was an original at the complex and had a mix of Indian Land and FM guys. That is where my F3 journey started 10yrs.
Rebel out
Instead of giving a long disclaimer, I made the mistake of saying this was an old and grizzled group of vets. It pretty much went downhill from there. But in my defense we did average about 50% brace rate (knees, elbows. ankles, etc).
Anyway, short mosey around the lot then circle up for some warmups. Hillbilly walkers, 4 count squats (crowd favorite), mtn climbers, peter parkers, parker peters, MNCs.
Relocate over to near pull up bars. Partner up for lazy dora. 100 merkins: p1 does 10 while p2 holds plank. Switch back and forth until 100. 200 LBCs: p1 does 20 LBCs while P2 does 6″ leg hold. Switch back and forth until 200. 300 squats: p1 does 30 squats while p2 holds Al Gore. Switch back and forth until 300. 400 SSHs: p1 does 40 SSHs while p2 hangs on the pull up bar. Switch back and forth until 400.
I had more planned at front of school but based on time audibled to stay close to start point. Stay with same partner for partner burpees. P1 does burpee, then P2 does burpee, keep swapping back and forth up to 25 total then run to stop sign and back. 4 rounds (100 total). Finished up with 20 big boys and 20 flutters.
We may be old and grizzled but it was a really fun morning. Lots of mumble-chatter seemed to make time fly by. I appreciate all the old and grizzled as well as newer less grizzled guys we have in this group. Thanks Cake Boss for the opportunity to lead!
WARMUP: Mosey to pickup a few cones and headed around the back of the school, with some dynamic warmups (toy soldiers, karaoke) along the way. Stopping stop texting the parking lot in front of the school for some more warmups: SSH, Windmill, Merkins, SSH, Imperial Walkers all 10 count in cadence

– Mosey to the second cone and complete a side plank waterfall (flip in the middle)
– mosey to school entrance looking for cameras to do some monkey humpers – no cameras..no monkey humpers, but we did use the benches for dips, Derkins, step ups and box jumps – all 10 count OYO

By yourself you’re unprotected.
With a friend you can face the worst.
Can you round up a third?
A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped.
