Sergeant Major

Leave a comment

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,

Don’t let F3 be your mistress. No matter how great F3 is, we can’t allow it to take time away from our families. Get fit, make friends, strengthen your faith, but don’t prioritize F3 over them. Don’t let F3 become your primary focus.

Aye!

I just returned from a trip to England with our GrowRuck team. I learned that regardless of our accents, we are one PAX with the same mission in mind. I had a wife tell me F3 broke her husband (Hoops). It broke him and rebuilt him into the father she always desired for her children and the husband she married years ago. You see, F3 is more than a fitness group – it is a way to unlock a man’s hidden potential to love and lead well. I am so blessed to be surrounded by men like Hoops. He was just like so many of us – lost without know it. Let his story inspire you to find your “why” and rekindle your desire to be an asset wherever you are.

Skipper’s Tour de Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
– Quick mosey around the lot followed by COP…windmill, produce picker, low slow squat, merkin, up dog and down dog.
THE THANG:
– Started with a merkin gauntlet in front of Bubbles ‘N Bows. PAX formed a line arms length apart and held plank. PAX took turns traveling the gauntlet, stopping to do a merkin at each planking PAX. Rinsed and repeated, swapping out Al Gore for the plank and burpees for the merkins.
– Mosey thru the parking lot to Stockbridge Dr, right on Arbor Village to Grant Farm Dr. Completed a round of 7s on Grant Farm hill. Burpees at the bottom (entrance to apartment complex) and hand release merkins at the top (fire department parking lot).
– Mosey back to Bubbles ‘N Bows for a DORA…300 sumo squats, 200 Superman, 100 wide arm merkin. Cut the Dora a little short to save 5 minutes for Mary.
