Bodily functions are real

WARMUP: started with a mosey around the parking lot. Stopped for some SSH, merkins, squats, mountain climbers, and a little back and hip stretching. Made our way over to grab some cindy’s.
THE THANG: Once we had our new toys, we went to the hill for 11s. Shoulder presses at the top with cindy and bottom of the hill hand release merkins. Pax that finished early did chest presses or picked up Pax and finished with them.

Next we took our cindy friend to the pull up bars for work. 7s was the game with 1 pull-up and 6 man makers…down to 6 pull ups and 1 man maker.
MARY: made our way to COT for Mary on steroids…1 hammer, 4 flutters; 2 hammers, 8 flutters…made our way to 5 hammers and 20 flutters before the crying started. Then it was 3 burpees and round the horn ab callouts.

Reduce Reuse Recycle

having been put in charge of both of our running with push-up AOs this week, I decided to make them entry level. it does not mean easy, it just means easy to understand what is required to do. to that end, I decided to recycle some of the easier to follow Qs in which I have participated.

the word, recycle and reuse together often. remind me of a program I saw in fourth grade. you may have bag memories of being hurted into your elementary school gymnasium in order to see what amounts to a public service announcement or little skit or play put on by a bunch of kids , maybe a small performance by the 5th graders who got to start orchestra. but the one I remember most vividly is being brought to that sad little gymnasium to watch a dude dressed up as McDonald’s mascot and Ronald McDonald caper about singing about reducing reusing and recycling. somehow they burned half an hour of our day listening to Ronald McDonald it’s founding on the virtues of mineralism in a 1980s world where everything was designed to be thrown away immediately after use.

WARMUP: the pledge of allegiance
THE THANG: run to Hardee’s. pair up. run opposite directions saying the block. On the east side (post post office) do 5, 10 and then 15 partners BBSU. Then 15 every time. continue running until meeting up at or around the Hardee’s lot. where you at 5, 10, 15 partner pushups. after the pushups, run the way you came back. this way each partner gets to run both directions around the block multiple times. sort of like a weird freaking Newton cradle
with about 4 minutes left PAX were gathered and Bandcamp led burpees while YHC perform the exhausting job of keeping an eye out for stragglers
MARY: 30-45s of flutters while YHC grabbed my phone
ANNOUNCEMENTS: duties were assigned to Funhouse
COT: duties were assigned to Funhouse

Site swap p1

Pledge of allegiance. Then down to corner of Main St and Academy. Pretty simple routine today: 10 HR merkins at Main/Academy. Run up Main to Main/160, 10 jump squats. Run to 160/Monroe White, 10 HR merkins. Run to Withers/Watson, 10 jump squats. Run back to start.
Each time you get back to Main/Academy, run the loop in the opposite direction with same exercises.

I think most PAX got between 4 and 5 loops in. Tesla might’ve done 10. It was nice to do something different this morning!

FNG x 3!!!

Nice Chilly morning here in the Gloom where we were blessed to have 3 FNG’s here at Block Party

Started the Disclaimer a little early but for the sake of the FNG’s it gave us an opportunity to go over the 5 core principles of F3.

Warmup:

5 MNC’s
25 Burpees (at this point Saw Dust rolled up)

Mosey to the First Baptist Parking Lot

Did 20 LBC’s IC while we waited for the 6.

Lined up facing the Church and did the following:

25 Merkins
25 Squats
25 Flutters
Run to the sign of the Church and back.

4x

After we were all done we talked a little about Our Mission at F3 why it is we do what we do with a focus on our community leadership.

Moseyed up the hill over towards the print shop. Stopped on the road and did 20 Freddy Mercury’s while we waited for the 6.
Once they joined us we did 10 Imperial Walkers IC

Moseyed some more over the railroad tracks to the sidewalk where we waited for the 6 and did 15 HR Merkins.

Once they Joined we continued towards COT on the Sidewalk briefly stopping to do 1 burpee by the F3 Scarecrow.

Once we got back into COT. Did 10 Hillbilly Walkers until the 6 came in.

Talked about the Creedo of F3. Then we began our last major part of the workout.

10 Minute EMOM (with 11’s)

Every Minute on the minute we would do 11 reps of the following 2 exercies in this pattern:

1 Burpee – 10 Toe Touches
2 Burpees – 9 Toe Touches
3 Burpees – 8 Toe Touches …..
Until…..
10 Burpees – 1 Toe Touches.

During our “rest” we went around the circle and talked about our names…why we got them then talked about how F3 has all made us better, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

This took us to 5:58 where I played a little bit of Superman/Bananna.

During COT we again talked about the meaning behind the Names we all get and what we keep coming back to F3 for.

Great to see the new faces and great to see this site accelerating!

Until Next Time!
