Do 1 More

Leave a comment

WARMUP: lap around the parking lot, SSH, Moroccan Nightclubs, windmills

THE THANG: Do 1 More
This is a 12 round AMRAP 1 minute each with a 45 second break to do as many as you can. I told the pax to write down their number after each round. I did not tell them if a high number was good or bad or how it would affect the other pax good or bad so that they would push themselves. The rounds were:
Merkins
Squats
CDDs
Burpees
SSH
Bobby Hurleys
Plank jacks
Big boys
Shoulder Taps
Overhead Claps
Mtn Climbers
LBCs

Then we talked about how much we accomplished, but how much more was till to be done. But that you can do more than you think you can, so add 1 more to each rounds reps for round 2. i.e. 41 Merkins in round 1 meant 42 Merkins in round 2.

By the end, we had completed as a group (13 bootcampers) 9,155 reps in 45 minutes. Feel accomplished, you guys did a ton of work!

MARY: No Time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, Newsletter, Overnight silly-ness ruck event, Strawberry 5k.

COT: Marriages, health and healing, travel, reach out to someone you haven't heard from in a while and let them know you're thinking about them. It'll make their day even if they don't respond with more than thanks. Or you might talk to them for an hour. But reach out, you never know when someone needs it.

We never know what someone is going through. Could be divorce, a health scare, loss of a loved one, inability to pay rent, loss of a job, or mental, physical, or emotional stress. Sometimes life hits you hard and you just need someone to listen and support. That’s what F3 is all about. Sure, we could all get a good workout at Burn Bootcamp (shoutout to the coach across the parking lot yelling “encouragement” to her class). We might even have a bit of fellowship with our coworkers. But when life gets hard, most people lack a support system to help them get through it. F3 has been that support system for thousands of men worldwide. But that support system can only help if you share your burdens. Get to know the men around you in COT. Build those relationships that carry you in the hard times and celebrate with you in the good times. You never know when life will get hard, but it sure helps to have friends to get you through.
