Mosey to the old bank building for Ring of Fire starting with CDD’s.  Circle up. All PAX hold CDD position.  One PAX does one CDD, then the next PAX does one until we go all around the circle.  Next round is 2 CDD’s, then work up to 5 CDD’s.  Mosey a lap around the bank.  Rinse and repeat.  The third round we did LBC’s.

Mosey to BOA where we did Ring of Fire doing Burpees.  Only one burpee each round for 10 rounds.  We got progressivley faster with each round.  Mosey around the bank. Rinse and Repeat.  The third round we did Flutter Kicks and hold 6″ up to 5.

Mosey to Fidelity Bank for Ring of Fire doing Jump Squats up to 5.  PAX in circle did Moroccan Night Clubs will they waited.  Mosey around the bank.  Rinse and repeat.   We did CDD’s for the third round.

Mosey back to Pelicans to two more rounds of Calf Raises.

Time

You Blockhead

YHC picked up a last minute Q after Wojo reached out looking for a substitute.

Decided do blocks as YHC had never used them in a Q. Nantan out mall walking.

530pm, time to start. 7 pax plus the Q.
All old timers with lots of experience.
Even Blart. He thought that i inferred he was old. More on that later.

Warm up. Circle of death with SSH and burpee waterfall. Enough. Mosey to woods to pick up blocks. Mosey to parking lot by the turd shack.

The thang.
Four sets of 10 exercises in cadence with block. First exercise curls. Put down block. Mosey to first line, one merkin, one LBC, one SSH.
Mosey to back to start. Pick up block.

Second exercise upright rows. Mosey to second line, merkin, lbc, ssh. Back to start.

Third exercise trunk twisters. Mosey to third line, rinse and repeat.

Fourth exercise overhead presses. Mosey to fourth line, rinse and repeat.

Thirty minutes left.

Rinse and Repeat above. Each pax took a turn alternating arms and ab exercises between sets of the above. Got three full rounds in.

Short mosey around parking lot break up the monotony of blocks.

Sargento noted that YHC and he had the only sedans in the parking lot. Something else we have in common is we both hate blocks, have soccer arms, smart, devilishly handsome, sauve and debonair. LOL. Well, him anyway.

Fifteen minutes left. Thanks nantan on keeping track of the time. Return blocks to woods. Long mosey around parking lot. Back to flag for Mary.

Two rounds of arms and abs exercises called out in cadence by each pax.
YHC accused of not having a weinke and just making stuff up. Blart had his brother in law fart near his head. Close enough from him to to taste anyway. Those aftereffects made Blart to pull a Leppard and not realize the difference between hillbillies and Imperial walkers.

22 for the vets.

We had a beautiful sunset too!

The Cherry on Top, Sarlacc sending us in to the COT with Cherry Pickers.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 — Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

The verse is telling Christians to continue to encourage and lift up fellow followers of Jesus. The church of Thessalonians was already doing this but Paul was reminding them to keep going. I picked this verse to share this morning because I feel Its everything I love about coming to F3 workouts. Everyone is always building one another up. Whether it’s a fist bump or a “good work” after putting everything you have into a workout it makes you want to come out here and try alittle harder the next time. Coming has made me try to hold myself more accountable,  be a better listener and get alittle closer with God.  Y’all did that through encouragement. So always keep building each other up “just as you are doing”.

Announcements: Q school Jan 22nd, 2nd F lunch wed 19th noon @Buffalo Wild Wings, Feb 18-20 retreat in Flat Rock, May 14th Jump off Rock 1/2 marathon, Stogie Savage Race June 4th. Check out prayer list channel on Slack.
