    Great group this morning. They didn’t complain that much.

  • Swamp ass and big spoon

    COP — lots of fun exercises,
    then vball challenge.
    Keep the ball up in the air up to the goal number. If we hit the number, no exercises
    If we don’t hit the number a member of the PAX calls the exercise and the number of the exercise
    We exercised a whole lot…
    Our highest number was 11 today. Blame it on the lack of light.

    The long run
    Run the loop — every speed bump 10 merkins
    every light post, 10 jump squats
    modify the jump squats to 10 WW2

    Triple check the way back
    1- smurf jacks
    2 — flutters
    3 — run to the light and back
    when everyone has done one round, sprint to the next light and start round 2
    same thing for round 3

    On the way back, we alternately jogged, sprinted and walked between lights.

    Fun times.

    YHC tried to control the distance of running today because of long runs he took on Friday and Sunday. That is why Tabata was called. He even brought out a Bluetooth speaker. That is where the technical difficulties ensued.

    • 1. Delay in connecting to Bluetooth.
    • 2. Forgot to charge speaker.
    • 3. Reset Tabata count twice.

    Lessons learned. Next time YHC will be prepared maybe.

  • We’re Not Going to Take It!

    Welcome to F3. There were 8 PAX that joined today.

    COP

    We moseyed over to the basketball courts. We then went into a squat position as I went over the mission statement, 5 core principles, credo, and disclaimer. Between each we did five jungle boy squats.
    Guess who? We then did 10 burpees for a PAX that showed up late. We then did the Ring of fire plank and merkins. We got up to 6 Merkins.

    • The Thang:
      4-rounds of exercise split into two segments:
    • Round 1: 30-seconds per exercised
    • Round 2: 60-seconds per exercise
    • Round 3: 120-seconds per exercise
    • Round 4: 30-seconds per exercise

    The exercises were:

    1. line sprints (back-and-forth)
    2. Burpees
    3. V-Ups
    4. Jungle Boy Squats

    Then we went to the wall and did 11s. Balls to the wall Australian Mountain Climbers and LBCs. We only got ½ through before the Q called it and we moseyed back to the flag. There we did Merkin Jacks and Charlie’s Angels until 6:15.

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, The Q Twisted Sister took us out.

    We’re right, yeah! We’re free, yeah! We’ll fight, yeah! You’ll see, yeah! Oh we’re not going to take it,. No, we ain’t going to take it. Oh, we’re not going to take it anymore!

    Twisted Sister

    NMS by Phonics

    It was quite awesome having Twisted Sister from F3 Rubicon lead the bootcamp this perfect Monday morning at DaVille. Twisted Sister smoked us all. Well done! Forever, those who were there will remember fitness test on the tennis court, the Merkin Jacks, the Jungle Boy Squats, and a LIFO member tracking the PAX by automobile.

    Thank you Twisted Sister for leading us today.

  • The Journey to Giles

    Five mostly respectful dudes posted to Atlee High School on this perfect morning looking to check out the local scenery. YHC had a different plan. This is possibly what occurred.

    Parking lot tracers

    COP – SSH, Helicopters, Don Quixotes, Arm Circles, Reverso, Five Burpees OYO

    Mosey into Giles to the clubhouse parking lot and playground

    The Thang

    Four Corners – 3 rounds of Step Ups, Freddie Mercuries, Merkins, Crunchy Frog PAX does these exercises in each corner while 5th PAX members runs to that corner.

    Sevens – Pullups and Burpees

    Mosey back to SF for stretches

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Macho took us out

    NMS

    When YHC figured out that there was no Q, he took it and led the PAX into Giles which is a location at least one PAX member had not journeyed before. The problem with the journey is that coming back to Atlee is all uphill. Not sure how to avoid that. Great effort this morning from all PAX members. Well done!
    Announcements

    July 4th Convergence – Atlee High School – 7 AM. Let’s practice our counting DaVille to see if we can count higher than 10. Probably not enough time to reach such a lofty goal as being able to count to 11, 12, 13, 14, …
