ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter

COT:
Praise for health, family, F3. Prayers for family with illness, aging parents, traveling mercies for parents coming to town.

It was another great morning with my F3 brothers. The humidity was high, and so was the effort from the pax (all respectables today!). YHC heard some chatter about whether certain elements were ‘moderate’, but I don’t think anyone present this morning was unhappy about how they felt at the end of the workout. Having 50-plus and 60-year-olds out at 5am each morning, pushing ourselves, should make us all feel proud and extremely blessed. Few would have thought we’d be doing this at our ages! It was a pleasure leading the group today, and I look forward to the next one. Stay young, gentlemen!

5 alive not at the hive

Leave a comment

Thought the title was catchy since it rhymed with hive. Nothing crazy, started with a little broga and a slight mosey to back lot. Did a few high knees, toy soldiers, butt kickers and mosey up and down the BB court. Did one round at benches of derkins dips and step ups 20 each.

Moseyed back to the front of school for the bulk of the work. Supposedly 4 exercises per minute but timing was a little skewed due to the Qs ADD. 10 reps each of WAM, merkins, mtn climbers, shoulder taps. Big loop mosey. Next squats, sumos, clave raises, and monkeys. Little loop. Abs big boys, weezy Js, amer Hammers, Flutters Big loop. SSH, jump squats, OH claps, Moroccan Nights. Little loop.

Had a brief Q/a on what’s big thing for summer. Good family focused responses.

Ab lab and wrap up.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tortoise & Hare this Saturday. Next Saturday Hog & Coyote. CSAUP CENTRAL! Get signed up, support the HIMs leading these events, support your region and the greater good it is providing. Read your newsletter.

COT: Prayers & praises and YHC prayed us out.

Spoke on 5 core principles, all equally weighted however COT, it sets us apart from every other workout group.
Spoke on Mission statement, are we a workout group???
Spoke on Visions statement, be real about picking up the 6. Make it a point to offer an encouraging push. That next man may need it more than you know.

Appreciate the Q and the continual cross pollination between our 2 regions with all these HIMs. I encourage RH pax to take a trip north and you Fort pax to take a trip south every so often. A little flavor in your bland weekly routine is good every so often #zesty.

Thanks <@U061P7HUFRR> for the opportunity to Q <#C02PN2Z6QV8>!

COT:
Prayers for family traveling, praise for young children’s birthdays.

Each AO has a distinct vibe. Slow Burn has a relaxed vibe because it’s well-lit, it’s moderate, which encourages (I think) more mumble chatter, and it’s on Fridays so the Pax are excited for the weekend ahead. It’s usually a fun workout and even more fun to Q it. I enjoyed the Q this morning, and I met some guys today in person, who I have only seen on Slack video (<@U07LMG5PDQU>, <@U08BNRBQ9D1>). The pax were in good spirits, and it was a pleasure to lead them. The rain stayed at bay, but we did have <@U08G28Z7E> today (see how I did that). Thank you again, <@U04M7P605SM> for the invite, and I look forward to the next one.
