And then there were hills

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Intro and mosey to the church parking lot. Complete 15 reps of MNC, Micheal Phelps and arm circles. Then mosey to the day car parking lot for some None Discrpt Produce pickers, Hill Billy Walkers, Imperial Walkers and Wind milks. Then left to mosey down the hill to the entrance to the apartments.
THE THANG: Instead of a full Pendulum workout, we did 7’s on each hill. The first was to run up the hill and do 1 merkin and come back down for 6 bomb jacks. Rinse and repeat until complete. The I spoke about struggles lately and then started the 2nd hill. Run up to the fire department to do 1 burpee and run back down for 6 Squats. Rinse and repeat to complete the 7. Started walking back to COT and talked about JFK conspiracies.
MARY: American Hammers is all we got in!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Had to leave to pick up kids!

NMM
This workout was simple, but not easy. I’m not sure what made it difficult – it was only four exercises done six times over a couple miles, but I think I’m going to feel it later. The beauty of its design was you had the opportunity to converse with the guy next to you between sets and see what is going on in his world. I heard laughs, grunts, celebrations, and struggles. Men shared their hearts but still put in the work. That’s what this is all about – asking the guy next to you how he’s doing. Listening to what he says and note what he doesn’t say. Men suck at asking for help. The signs are there if we know where to look. My encouragement for you is to reach up when you need help. But also, reach down when you have help to give. F3 has the opportunity to literally save lives if we will pour into Fellowship and Faith as much as we do Fitness. Strengthen yourself mentally and spiritually as much as you do physically. Do that and we will change the world: one household at a time.

Aye!

The Safe Sink

Leave a comment

WARMUP: A little of this, a little of that…

THE THANG:
We took our rucks and sandbags and traveled to the top of gentle slope of the entrance to the school in the hopes of finding a less icy spot. We were disappointed. It was slick most everywhere. Kind of like the top of <@USBP08L1G>‘s (not present) head.

After letting men know that it was ok to feel their feelings, no matter how big they were (TWSS), we all cuddled for a few minutes and affirmed one another’s masculinity. We decided we were both good enough AND smart enough, and we think that people like us.

Then it was basically taking turns releasing our trauma and making space for each other. We even all took turns going to the crying room that Farmers had installed. It was very affirming.

From there we did 3 very thoughtful and mindful rounds of 7s with our rucks on and with our sandbags.

It was a round of manmakers and squats, one of curls and bag ups, and one of merkins and flutters with a press.

Peta reached a whole new level and had a real breakthrough in accessing his inner child.

MARY: We decided it best to just have men present for this session.

WARMUP: Peta lead the group with a slow and steady warmup. Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walker, and SSH.
THE THANG: Half Shell took a mosey and we stayed near the original parking lot for a 12 days of Christmas session which included 1 location for merkins and another location for big boys with running between them. We missed 4 and 6, so we had to sprint those laps, and got to 9 before Grassy took over. We took a mosey to Walgreens for some reindeer games. Taken from F3 Cherokee from 2018, there was a list of all Santa’s reindeer and each one had a different exercise. We had already sung songs together and now the mumblechatter chatter really took over. We counted in Spanish, then German and there a lot of trivia about Home Alone 2. After getting through the reindeer games, we took a mosey back to COT
MARY: Peta took us through some exercises and finished up our workout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: OAs closed Tuesday for Christmas Eve workout and D2D

WARMUP: Take all weight 1/4 mile to COP

Low slow squats with weight x 10
Hold people’s chair and do Moroccan night clubs x 10
Rucks off and 25 seal jacks I/C
10 Windmills I/C
Rucks on
Imperial walkers x 10 I/C
Hillbilly walkers x 10 I/C

Move all weight to side lot for 11’s about the grounds with weight – Merkins with rucks and squats with rucks and sandbags.

Move to the field. PAX plank with ruck on their left side and, one pax at a time, say one thing they’re struggling with before pulling ruck through to other side. After that, pax said one thing for which they were grateful and pulled ruck through to left side. PAX then recovered from plank. Lesson – we don’t have to bear burdens alone. Sharing them allows us a greater ability to work through them.

Move to lot next to COT for DORA’s – 50 Ruck swings and 100 flutters with ruck press.

Back to COT for more flutters with press and 0600 arrived.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Golf tourney, BBQ &X-Mas Party – the ultimate 2nd F trifecta. Get involved.

COT: 5th core principle

Thanks for the call Farmers Only :eye:
