Let Go of the Those Little Burdens

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Dynamic Run Warmup, followed by dynamic plank warm-up with a lot of upward<>downward dog interspersed
THE THANG: Each pax picked up (2) 2# weights (removed from my weight vest). Goal was to hold these for the remainder of the workout.
Round 1: Jack Webs 1-10 low-slow merkins with 4-40 overhead raises with some short hill running as the “rest period”
Round 2: 11’s- 1-10 bomb jacks and 10-1 seal jacks with short flat run in between
Round 3: wall sits for 4-count x10 reps of the following: curls, OH press, front raises, lateral raises, punches, and arm circles all with short mosey in between
Round 4: curb sit-up get-up 6, 5, 4 reps mixed with curb burpees 1, 2 reps (did not complete this round)
ANNOUNCEMENTS: prayers for @stinger’s friend Tommy with medical issues
COT: My group moseyed in about 4 mins late to meet the #ao-snakepit pax.
As prefaced on Slack, this was a Jekyll-inspired Q from one of the worst I’ve ever posted for. That being said, the worst part about this Q he had at the Ranch about 4 or 5 years ago was that instead of holding warm sand-filled little bags that we held today, Jekyll suggested holding 2 irregularly-shaped icebergs (rocks) for the 45 mins. I can still remember the pain I experienced in my hands after that workout to this day. I felt like a 90-year arthritic seamstress.
HOWEVER, the message I carry from that day still rings true. Two 2# bags are not heavy, but if you carry those little burdens long enough, that’ll weigh on you. Sometimes we’re not ready or feel we’re not able to let them go. Reach out to fellow pax, your church, family, friends. You all have people that love you that are willing to help. Will you let them? Are you ready to let these little burdens go?
Thanks to Cohiba for the opportunity to lead.
Hope you all enjoyed getting #squatched!

F3 Dads and 2.0s – Kickball

Leave a comment

Just learning how to do this and getting caught up

WARMUP: SSH, Squats, Moroccan Night Clubs, Hurdler’s Stretch

THE THANG:
Kickball Rules
1. Sportsmanship – Cheer everyone on!
2. May throw the ball at the body below the head to get an out. Ball thrown at head, batter advances to next base. This is F3 kickball, not World Kickball Championships. Light throws only please.
3. 1 inning for kids – all kids bat. Go back to cheer on team if called out.
4. 1 inning for Dads is 3 outs
5. Bunting allowed
6. Other normal kickball rules: fly ball caught is an out. No stealing bases or lead offs. Ball is dead once pitcher has it. Foul ball on 3rd strike is an out.

Dad only rules:
1. May not walk or run. Can use crab walk, bear crawl, or throwing standing. Including on base running. Fast lunge walk does not count.
2. May only kick with non dominant leg. This is left left for most.
3. Penalty for breaking rules: ALL dads do 5 burpees.

Kicking team gets an out: 10 LBCs
Hit against your team: 10 mtn climbers
Run scores against your team: 10 SSH
