  • 3 Things I Hate (to love) about F3

    When you are usually the one who is lagging, how are you supposed to lead? I assume the easy answer is ‘by direction’, but with a seasoned group of 17 HIMs, it becomes much easier. For my VQ, I got lots of encouragement and help from those with more experience.

    Crafting a workout set was the easy part. What do I hate about F3 because it challenges me and then I love it after the fact?
