16 HIM’s & 2.0’s assembled at Rockwood Park for a School of RUCK. The DTH Tacoma was heavy laden with extra rucks, bags, and bricks, and all warriors were loaded down before setting off into the woods. YHC found a couple nice cabers in the woods for the kids to take turns carrying. On our 1.5 mile trek we made it down to the lake and back, and there were a couple brief COP’s for squats and lunges along the way. We even attempted teaching and implementing the GrowRuck exercise of a thee-man team carrying one wounded warrior. It was…

It was a teenage takeover at latest edition of School Rock. Touchdown made his eagerly anticipated debut on the Q sheet.

Mosey to hill for Exercise One: Pain Tag One person is “IT” – if you get tagged, 10 merkins and you are also “IT”Subsequent rounds included Squats, Side Straddle Hops, and WWII Sit-ups.

11 dads and 2.0s hung around after Rocknroll for what us dads were hoping was going to be an easy workout. YHC thought a game of Simon Says would be a good idea to let the kids do a little leading. Turns out they were about as tough as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (Full Metal Jacket) We had calls of 10 burpees, then 11 burpees, and 50 SSH just to name a few. Next we moseyed over to the baseball field where we kicked a ball around and every time the ball changed hands that PAX got to call out an…

25 RockStars including multiple FNGs made this convergence style AO half of a Fourth of July attendance. With Band of Brothers and the 101st airborne prescient there were verbose instructional introductions and brotherhood references. Nonetheless we made it through a long Warmarama. Soldiers, Merkins, ssh, shoulder taps, WW2S, and Don Qs were done and the 6-year-olds locked in on the core principles and mission statement of F3. Following the rough start YHC tried a relay race but with 25 unawares and prickly grass modifications became necessary. Parachute for the win. With nothing to lose we went on a parachute filled…

A couple PAX and their gaggle of 2.0’s converged for the June edition of School of Rock. After surviving the HPVQ, here’s how YHC cooled down: The THANG: COP #1: Mosey to a lush outfield and set up for a soccer scrimmage – x5 merkins earned each time a goal scored. COP #2: Classic Game of Tag, then Oreo introduced “Kangaroo Hunter” where everyone’s hopping around like a kangaroo except the hunter who had easy pickings (fairly realistic actually). COP #3:  WWII’s called in cadence to the song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”, getting faster each round. Also a couple other IC exercises. …
