ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
QSource – Q1.3 – Queen – what we put in our bodies – nutrition. You can’t or king your Queen. Meaning you cannot do enough fitness (king) to get to ignore nutrition. The sooner we accept this the sooner we can work on the balance. It is as much( if not more) a quality game as it is a numbers(calorie) game. AND factors like Sleep & Stress have proven physiological impacts on the what the body does with the food you give it.

Neese’s was almost the death of us

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yes, IW; HW; some yoga.
Introduced the reverse burpee (you go down on your 6, lay on your back, and then return to standing for a jump). Stagecoach busted his wrist and YHC was tired of seeing him modify.
THE THANG:
Found a wall
10 stepups (each leg)
10 derkins
10 bulgarian split squats (each leg)
10 irkins
Found another wall (it was stupid high)
10 stepups (single leg) this was dumb
10 derkins this was also dumb but not as much

found a moderatle parking lot
10 mike tysons
bear crawl
10 curb alberts
crawl bear
10 mike tysons
lunge walk
10 curb alberts
reverse lunge walk
10 mike tysons
burpee broad jump
(the sprinklers came on and YHC didn’t want a complete mutiny)
mosey back to the dry side for
10 curb alberts

Mosey back by the wall and hit it again

A 60lb sandball was at COT
One man did an over the shoulder lift
Everyone else held a squat down and raised up when the ball hit the ground. Return to the held squat for the next guy to do a lift. 15 guys….
Rinse and Repeat with Split Squats and a reverse burpee

NMM:It’s nice to be motivated to workout, but falling in love with the process of acceleration is even better. That can survive a waning motivation. Or maybe it just is motivation itself?

Hockey Gold

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick run around the parking lot, back to COT area, circle up for the following:
– 20 SSH
– 10 Windmills
– 15 Imperial walkers
– 15 Moroccan night clubs
– 10 Strawberry pickers
Then run to the parking lot at Grace Presbyterian Church for the main event!
THE THANG:
In light of Happy Gilmore as well as the USA Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams winning Gold at the Olympics, I put together something fun yet challenging to improve our hockey #3S2T.
An NHL hockey rink is 200ft long x 85ft wide. The large parking lot in front of the church is a little larger – approx 240′ x 100′. Go big and train to compete, right? There were 8 cones set up around our rink, each with exercises and a mode of transportation to the next cone. Start at cone 1, do the exercise, move to the next. Happy Gilmore may not have been the best skater or shooter, but damn he was intense. No rest in between as Happy would want it
Note: DC = double count
Cones:
1. ICING CALL on the opponent! Puck dropped but they won it. SKATE to go on defense! >> Eric Heiden’s to #2. (aka lateral lunge runs).
2. On defense in the corner. Happy falls on the ice and can’t get up! >> 30 dying cockroaches (DC) and 20 hammers (DC) >> Bear crawl to #3 (approx 25 yds)
3. GET UP OFF THE ICE HAPPY!! In front of the net, blocking shots. >> 10 burpees. >> Strides to #4 (think of a run while skipping, knees up high).
4. Happy was a pugilist. In the opposite defensive corner of the rink. Work on your enforcer abilities! >> 20 planks w alternating punches (DC), 20 Cobra Kai’s (DC) (while holding a deep squat, alternate punching) >> GO ON OFFENSE!! >> Strides to #5 (opposite end corner of the parking lot)
5. We are wide open!! Pass me the puck!! Signal your teammates >> 40 SSH (DC) >> You got the puck, move to the net! >> Strides to # 6 (center rink, offensive side)
6. TAKE THE SHOT!! Practice your SLAPSHOT!! >> 30 Apolo Ohno’s w arm swings. >> Bear crawl to #7 (opposite corner, offensive side, approx 30 yds)
7. YOU SCORED!! Now taunt the LOSERS!! >> 30 monkey humpers, 20 dirty dogs (10 each leg). >> Mary Katherine Lunge to #8 (a lunge walk, while you are lunging, you are extending both arms overhead, like a touchdown signal).
8. CELEBRATE!! Raise Lord Stanley’s Cup!!! At center rink. With a cinderblock, 20 curls then 20 overhead presses. Did you know: The Stanley Cup weighs 35 lbs, and a cindy weighs 38 lbs.
Back to #1, and repeat.
Everyone got in 2 full rounds and started on a 3rd. Then we did an indian run back to COT for…

MARY: A little less than 2 minutes worth.

COT:
Announcements: Highlighted Bethel Men’s Shelter next week, Break the Dam run this weekend, litter pickup, and other items in the newsletter. GET INVOLVED!!
P&P: Alot lifted up.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Don’t Forget the Flowers!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Cohiba’s attempt at the F3 Mission flopped so we started with 10 burpees flower by SSH and some other moves. Then we set off on a field trip.
THE THANG: Pax covered 2 ish miles today with stops at Town Hall, Courtyard fka as Pike Electric, Millstone Park, Veterans Park, WEP playground. At each stop, pax took turns naming an exercise of choice and passing a Valentine to another pax. That pax got to draw one of 5 cards which led to the # of reps:

All hearts today
10 = 10 reps
Jack = 15 reps
Queen = plank while chosen pax shares Valentine’s Day wisdom learned the hardway (through Failure)
King = 20 reps
Ace = 25 reps

We moseyed home after the playground
MARY: yes, a few mins at the end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break the Dam, trash pickup
COT: prayers for health for several, job searches

A great morning of movement and fitness including many reps and many burpees. The pax were frisky and playful like a bunch of puppies, and the mumblechatter was strong throughout.

One of the many things I love about F3 is the multigenerational nature, and we had pax from 38-59 today. The span of age, geographic origins and backgrounds provided wide ranging experiences around the topic of romance and the Valentine’s Day holiday. Grateful for the enthusiasm, wisdom and humor everyone brought!

Parking lot Donuteeria was a success as well. Who’s gonna turn that into the norm?

Thanks for the invite JWOW and your solid leadership of our flagship AO!

Bearded Brothers Beatdown

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 3/4 mile run to the dance studio with some monkey Humpers, burpees and squats along the way at various spots
THE THANG: Had a conversation with Rebound Monday after Flight Plan and found out he had the Q at Kitchen Sink that same day. So the beards got together and thought it would be a grand idea to combine both of our Q’s together for a great beat down. We launched from Harris Teeter in Tega Cay and made our way down to the little Dance studio which is about 3/4 of a mile. Kitchen sink boys where there standing in a circle not doing much of anything. So when we arrived the real work began. My workout was the timer while Rebound workout was the heavy lifting. Grab a partner from opposite group and get to work. One goes to other end of parking lot while other grinds it out with the sandbags.

Rebound had a board with various exercises which we made it through:
Overhead Press
Squats
Curls
Sandbag Swings (those really sucked)
Deadlifts
All where AMRAP

My part was:
Hand Release Merkins
Carolina Dry Docks
Sumo Squats
Big Boi Sit-ups

Start at 5 reps per then increase each round by 5 reps. Made it to 20 reps then we backed back down 5. It really started to suck big time. Lots of complaining about those merkins.
I’m sore as crap from this. It was a great workout.

MARY: Can we rename her to Meghan? We did Hello Dolly, Flutter Kicks and Dying Cockroach before COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break The Dam on Feb. 28th. Ruck CSAUP middle of May get with Shady if interested
COT: Mental struggles. Kick life back when it kicks you in the nads.
