9 started with the pledge and a group to get things going.
A mosey and the a Ring of Fire. Multiple rapid fire exercises were had.
Moseyed to the hill and a story was told of how Baylor University came from the pits of basketball success to winning a national championship using the JOY method. Jesus, Others, Yourself. 7s were then done on the hill.
Moseyed over to the water tower and performed merkins and jump squats in the mailbox drill.
Moseyed back to the flag with COT and words of wisdom.
Positive attitude and being an example. How we treat others, how we react to adversity, how we act as Christians.
Finished with a group clap and prayer .
Thanks for coming out enjoy the day.

Enjoy each day men. It goes by fast. My advice is what you are already doing; making fitness a priority; becoming a better person (physically, emotionally, spiritually); and surround yourself with good people.

What’s Up Scary!

A very pleasant morning it was over in the land of up lighted $2M+ houses, pineapples and doggy treat vending machines (WTF).

21 gathered for the ME and I was thrilled with the group of men who decided to join me at JIU this am. A solid group of guys I wish I saw more often (gotta get over to Scary more often).

Started with a 1 mike pre run with Amway, Astro, Chipper, Kitty Litter and Home Grown. EHarmony was out on a ruck.

Pledge.

Standard Warm Up.

Mosey to the Big House Neighborhood for Mr T. We found some hills along with our inside voice (even Yogi and me) and worked the T along with a POS.

We all (we almost all) did 5 burpees every time the words What’s Up were said. I think we did about 40 extras.

Back to the park for a flawless Motivator.

Wrapped up with a set of 140s. Joe Smiff was confused. I really miss both Joe’s and JP’s voices. Smooth.

COT.
21 Pax.

Praises for a young Hank (middle schooler friend of Fleder family) who just wrapped up Chemo for his cancer. There was a big celly. God is good.

Prayers for Yogi who is working through some family and personal challenges. Keep your head up, Yogi!

Closed with a Prayer for Friends.

HGTV asked me to share some wisdom. For me, its be yourself and be thankful for the great stuff we have with our F3 Community. It’s the best.

Later
MIAGD.

7 PAX for a comfortably paced 6 @ 6. Humidity was high, but temp was spot on. Good conversation all around. Great way to start the day.

MIAGD!!!!

Represented South Cary in Apex this morning to run the boot off the recommendations of Amway. PRs were unlocked and some missed by seconds due to lights at major intersections. All-in-all good route with a nice hill toward the end. Another big group for the COT. Definitely recommend!

A small but great group of PAX gathered under the bright lights of the Ritter pavilion for another promo beatdown. Pledge first, then mosey, followed by warmups.

Thang 1 – 3 minute AMRAP Rock Your Body to get warmed up and muscles working. This was accompanied by Backstreet Boys “backstreets back” and seemed very on theme with the work.

Thang 2 – pyramid complex(6,8,10,8)
Single arm swings
Cleans
Clean support Lunges
Should press
Complete number of reps for each exercise on one side then switch to other side working your way up in reps and then back down. Some themed music here….Swing, Swing by All American Rejects. Thunderstruck by AC/DC to honor the Q from the prior morning.

Thang 3 – 4 x 6 complex repeat x4
Goblet squat
Squatted bicep curls
High pull
Kettlebell handle pushups
This one caught up. No themed music to match any of the exercises….got lazy!

Thang 4 – 5-minute AMRAP
5 clean and press
5 pushup with plank pull through between each pushup

Quick farmers carry

Thang 5 – Squat challenge
Weighted Squats in coordination with “Green, Sally Up” by Moby

Finished with weighted toe touches and hollow body hold (unweighted).

The PAX hung in there and all got a good seat in this morning. Was this the high quality Groupon style Promo workout they were looking for? You’ll have to ask them!

Reminder of Respect week next week and Murph challenge.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning fellas!

8 bootcampers and 1 Rucker
on a muggy morning for a good bootcamp beatdown = guaranteed sweat drenching! After the pledge, we moseyed over to southbridge for some warmups (SSH, Imperial walkers, Good Mornings, Scary stretch, merkins). Headed over to Arthur Pierce for Thang 1.

Thang 1 = run up Arthur Pierce with stops at every light. Merkins and lunges at each light until the final light.

Headed over to the pool parking lot for Thang 2.

Thang 2 = partner Dora with pickle run. 100 burpees, 200 shoulder taps, 300 plank jacks.

Moseyed back to COT for 5-minute Mary. Hollow body hold, slowzy ankle taps, slowzy Freddy Mercuries…rinse and repeat until time is up with minimal rest between.

Salamanders game coming up, honor and respect week next week, Murph challenge.

Prayers for Petey, Kitty Litter’s M at work, my coworker, all going through tough times and dealing with difficult decisions.

Great work by the group. Thankful for the leadership opportunity.

MIAGD!

Many F3 brothers headed out at 4:45 for a nice dry reverse Maynard (dranyaM) on the last day of the challenge. It was a great effort by all in attendance led by WebMD with that sub 8:00 effort! Huge group at the Bond Park COT and big congrats to Van Gogh, Sunshine, and Kwikstop for completing all 10 days! MIAGD!

A strong crew came out for YHC’s first time Q’ing at 88 MPH. Appreciate the support! 3 early risers did an EC Ocho. Awesome job @Amway, @Promo, and @OTW! Hoppin’ John slept in and did the Ocho during the ME, still very impressive . The bootcamp started with a mosey to Whole Foods for the warm up. Then, we headed to the CSAUP parking lot. No bagpipes this morning, bummer. We did bear crawls, crab walks, sprints, merkins, burpees, star jumps, WWII’S, squats, and so forth. It was Vanilla. It was adequate for a Monday!
COT – Respect/Honor week coming, Salamander game get tickets! Prayers for Sanka and his possible pastor job, prayers for Yogi.
TY gentleman for the opportunity. God bless!
