11 men at the yank for an Apache and Zappa inspirational beatdown.

After a little warmup we moseyed over to the gravel parking lot and split into teams to carry some bags with plates and sprint back. We moseyed all over to other lots doing various exercises stopping at the big lot by the trash cans for the bulk of our work. We started with trash can races ( I crashed mine several times ). They are not easy to drag either. We continued over to find some PVC pipes ready for us to carry around. we completed an exercise while one PAX carried the pipe across the parking lot and back, then we swapped off.  Thanks to Apache for coming up and leading us. We always enjoy his mumble-chatter.

Thanks Gashouse for your support. SYITG

After listening to the 43 feet podcast on missionality, I decided to make that my workout. This workout is a combination of the podcast and my own thoughts.

Today’s mission is to not just work out but to build teamwork as well. Let’s get fit together.

Warm up 20 in Cadence.

SSH

Squat

Merkin

LBC

Toy soldiers

Hillbillies

Jog to the small soccer field for team work.

F3 has a mission statement. The mission statement is to plant, serve and grow men’s small workout groups with the intent of invigorating male leadership throughout the community.

As we Q our workouts we must keep the group on the mission. Just like in our daily lives we must stay on mission, we must keep those around us on the mission. Whether your mission be on the first F, like staying in shape so you can be there for your family or getting up earlier to be ready for scheduled appointments, second  F, like getting to know people more, being more outgoing, listening to others as they need help with life, or sharing with others your needs. Or just simply visiting someone.  Or your mission may be on the third F. Like learning to read more scripture, having a more routine for your faith or understanding more of your faith. Your third F mission may also be praying with others more.

Let’s do some teamwork.

Split into teams of 5.  The mission is to carry the tires the length of the field as a team. Our mission  is to carry the tires  stopping at the halfway mark completing an exercise and then continue to the end of the field and complete another set of the called exercise. Because we are a team, exercises are called by the PAX. We completed 10 different exercises and completed 5 trips up and down the field, while carrying the tires. 

With time running low, lets Indian run back to the start. The last man drops off and completes five squats before running to the front of the line. 

Sometimes the Q can complete the mission even though the organization is split up into several groups. Our new mission is to split up into groups of 2.

Complete these exercises in 10 reps. 

Hi five push-ups

My Mission

My Mission in life is to be  Christ centered. What is your Mission?

3 Questions for the Q and his team.

1. Can a team prosper without a mission?
2. How does the Q keep his team focused on the mission?
3. What danger is there for a team that loses its focus?

With  the Christmas challenge in full affect and I’ve being trying to do a workout every day for the 40/50 challenge, the Christmas  challenge is a great way to deliver yourself a workout throughout the day. I decided to do a burpee mile type workout. 100 reps are what is needed for day ten of the Christmas challenge. So we are to complete 25 reps of an exercise and then run a lap.  I also like working out together and running with other people, so I decided to make all reps done together and run together. This promoted a lot of mumble chatter and a lot of laughter.

the first mile exercises are; 

Merkins

Squat

LBC

The second mile exercises are

CDD

Lunge for 2 rounds and Monkey Humpers 2

Flutter Kicks

2 miles done and time winding down we mosey back toward the start. We stop at each light pole on the left and do 5 Monkey Humpers. At the start we finish the Daly Christmas challenge with 10 Burpees. With roughly 9 min left we slow down with some merry. Sit Ups, SSH, Toy Soldiers, Nolan Ryans, plank, and Crunchy Frogs are most of what was performed. Time up!!

As we circled up, I told the PAX about the story of Gideon. How he waited to see Christ, as God promised him. When Gideon saw the Christ child, he thanked God for his promise and prayed with great joy. There are many things for us to be thankful for.  Just like Gideon, we have many promises that God is sharing with us everyday.
With the holidays here, I asked the guys to keep each other in their prayers and I asked that we all pay attention to those around us. When engaged in conversation with others, pay attention to them.  Make sure that others know that you care about them and make sure you hear them!

We circled up and completed these exercises in cadence.  Continue reading
