Hominy is tired, and he is improvising.

Leave a comment

I improvised this plan

Warmup exercises, slightly off from the normal warmup location.

Slow mosey around the grounds, around Lowe’s towards the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Stopped to do some extended planks, stopped to do a few exercises in cadence.

At the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Did an 80-160-240 DORA. Merkins. Squats. LBC.

I didn’t do burpees because I am fundamentally opposed to burpees in a moderate workout. However, before I finished explaining that, some PAX already cranked out a couple of burpees.

Bear crawl across the Chick-fil-a parking lot.

Mosey back to COT area.

Sevens. Calf raises on curb and merkins.

Mary. Peach Stand called Freddy Mercuries. Some others called a few exercises; I don’t remember which exercises anybody else called. I closed us out with an exercise right at 0600 on the dot.

COT. Peach Stand and Marty Byrde had to leave early. We were down to 5. What is said in COT stays in COT, but I can tell you that we shared some good stuff. Sometimes it’s easier to open up with a smaller number of PAX.

Every Second Counts

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Blue took the reins and rocked his first leadership effort as a pax of The Fort! SSH, Windmill, Merkin, etc

THE THANG: Pax moseyed to the parking garage at Sunbelt Rentals (The Forbidden Zone according to OldBay) and split into two teams

Cindies were available for some weighted exercises at the top level
Bottom level was used for Core exercises

Teams took turns completing one exercise with 10 reps at the top while other team did a continuous core exercise at the bottom. Then the teams swapped. Then swapped again and continued to the next exercise.

Pair 1 = Squats (top) & Balls to wall (bottom)
Pair 2 = Swings & People's chair
Pair 3 = OH press & plank
Pair 4 = Bent over rows & Flutters

After the first round, pax paused to hear about Every Second Counts from "The Bear" on Hulu. Then teams tackled a second round of the same series at a faster pace.

Teams gathered for one final pair that included Man Makers at the top and American Hammer at the bottom.

Mosey back home

MARY: Completed throughout the workout

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Trash pickup 0745 at Harris St Park on Sat 8/22, VQ by Blue at Dawn Patrol on Tue 9/8

COT: Yes!

Pax offered many compliments to Blue on this solid cadence count and terminology during the warm up. He was completely unflustered by Twister's heckling immediately to his right. While he's not a professional today, Blue clearly tapped into his prior professional status as a US Marine many years back. Well done!

Thanks to Site Q OldBay for indulging a little extra risk in exploring the Sunbelt parking garage. The Flock cameras were in full view, so perhaps he's not completely out of the woods yet. Show up next Thur to find out!

The pax pushed through a steamy morning with Cindy offering few complaints. Not sure if that's a good thing (the lack of complaints), but I know everyone was drenched at COT and we covered the major fitness elements.

"Every Second Counts" was the mantra for the staff in the TV series "The Bear". For the most part, it drove a mindset of performance on a consistently high pace, so it seemed an appropriate theme for an F3 workout. At the same time, it can also be heard as a theme for Presence (ie, living in the moment) and can thus be a theme across all elements of life. Where could this apply in your life?

Thanks to all for their Presence today and to Old Bay for the invite!

WARMUP: guessing who was getting extra credit
THE THANG: running mostly
MARY: various shenanigans and rounding off runs
ANNOUNCEMENTS: heart walk thing, talk to Sasquatch, everybody will be there
COT: coffee at Panera

6@6 is an AO, it’s starts at 6 on Sat, we typically shoot a pre-video at the start and include the rest of the proper COT stuff at the end. We will credit early and late starts from Panera, assuming we know you exist.

All other videos and use of the name is purely shenanigans.
