It was a privilege to lead the men today on the 1st Golden Corral workout for 2024. Thirty degree, dry air never felt so good! If you don’t post in the winter time, you are really missing out. Slow Jams announced that the shovel flag will be passed next week so be on the lookout for that. GC is my regular stop on Tuesdays and I’ve enjoyed spending time with him. He was a steady, entertaining presence every week, and did a fine job as site Q. Smuggler was also with us today as he continues his comeback. Keep it going brother! Here’s to another year of F3 at The Fort!

BDE at the Stockade

Leave a comment

We had 9 at the Stockade for one of the last days of 2023

Started off with a basic warmup.

Short Mosey around the parking lot back in front of the Dance studio.

15 IC SSH
10 IC Windmills
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Seal Jacks
10 IC MNC
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Plank Jacks
Stretch
15 IC Mnt Climbers

First Routine

12 Days of Christmas. This is where the Mumblechatter got dialed up a notch.

Basic 12 days of Christmas set up. Started with day one and got to day 12. Reps of a given exercise matched the day.

Day 1 Burpees
Day 2 Burpees
Day 3 Burpees
Day 4 Burpees
Day 5 ( 5 Count rest)
Day 6 Squats
Day 7 SSH
Day 8 IW
Day 9 Calf Raises
Day 10 LBc’s
Day 11 Flutters
Day 12 BBS

I set this up so after day 5 we ended each “round” with 10 Burpees. Again, this was a crowd pleaser.

We then took a short mosey around the parking lot again for the second routine of the morning.

This format was similar to the Laredo workout but obviously modified.

4 rounds

25 Merkins
25 Squats
25 BBS

Lap that we just did in the parking lot.

It was here I put on some music for the PAX as we did these exercises.

With only 5ish minutes to go I got us back to COT for a 4-minute AMRAP. I would call out an exercise and we would max out reps.
Minute 1- HR Merkins
Minute 2 – Flutters
Minute 3- HR Merkins
Minute 4- Plank.

COT: Show some BDE guys and share whats on your hearts. Be specific. As someone said in COT today you can’t get specific help if you don’t have a specific ask.

AYE!

Always fun to lead.

Thanks to all of you!

Sergeant Major

Leave a comment

Started off the Pre-Veterans day workout with some standard warmup exercises:

11 SSH IC
11 Windmills (steady pace)
11 SJ IC
11 MNC (IC)
11 Merkins (IC)
Stretch
11 Mnt Climbers (IC)

Mosey to Mavis Brakes (this was a nice long mosey across Gold Hill)

Planked up and waited for the 6.

In Plank I talked about the next portion of the workout. Something I like to call the “Sergeant Major”

In short, the rep counts reflect the different units my Dad (a Sgt. Major) served in during his lifetime.

The workout for today laid out like this…

28 Burpees
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
112 HR Merkins
3 more laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

Whenever you finished you went and picked up the 6.

After this we mosey’d back to COT with a few minutes to spare

Led a round of Mary..

22 Flutters IC
22 HD IC
22 FM IC

Pusher quickly picked up on why the rep count for this last portion of the exercise. The point was made that our gratitude for our veterans should be equaled by our concern for their mental health and a desire to help them in any way we can.

COT was another great example of why we all joined F3 and still come back. What was said, stays there but it was a lot of what I needed to hear that day.

Men I’m extremely thankful for the service and sacrifices of our veterans (my Father and Brother in law among others…)

Hope the example of service and sacrifice continues to inspire and push us all to be better leaders in our communities and lives.

Take care,
