Introduction
I was looking through the F3 website site and some exercise and decided to down an animal theme workout. It was a beautiful morning in the gloom. I am glad it worked out.
Warm-O-Rama
Tappy-Taps-10
Imperial Walkers-12-3 count
Micheal Phelps-10-3 count
Arm Circles-10 front and 10 back
Side straddle hops-25
The Thang
Thang 1
Monkey Humpers (4 Count) and Seal Claps (4 Count) with Bear and Barrels between.
Thang 2
Seal Jacks (4 Count) Jumping jack with front clap and Animal Style Squats
This exercise instructs pax to get in the “throw-up position” (hands on knees), do a squat in that position, perform a burpee from there, then get back to throw up position to count for one squat. Q makes the call on time or repetitions.
Crab Walk between cones
Thang 3
Copperhead Squat
Regular squat but lowering body slowly on first 3 counts, then lifting up on 4 count. Good form is keeping hands on back of heads with elbows held back, weight on heels, and back kept straight.
And
Crab Humper
Like air humpers but in the crab walk position (hands and feet on ground, keeping 6 off ground, thrust hips up and down).
Duck Walk
Foxhole: LCB into a Merkin 10 count
Circle of Trust
“Do you know how hunters in old times used to trap monkeys?” A man asked his son. “Rather than hunt them up a tree or shoot arrows at them, they’d put a heavy jar with a narrow neck on the floor, which contained monkeys’ favorite food inside. They’d then step back and hide anywhere, waiting for the animal to approach.
When it did, the monkey would reach there, grasp a fist around the food, and try to pull the food out of it. However, the narrow neck of the jar would stop the poor monkey from getting their hand out of the jar. The monkey tried to pull and pull, but to no avail. There was simply no way to get its hand out of the jar without releasing the food.
Rather than letting go, though, the monkey refused to drop its dinner. The hunters would then approach and catch the monkey to enjoy their own meal. “Don’t be like that monkey,” warned the man to his son, “In life, to live another day and grow as a person, you must know when to quit, when to move on, and when to let go of whatever’s holding you back.”
Moral of the story:
Sometimes you have to let go and give up what you have now, in order to receive something better in the coming future. Don’t let stubbornness be the reason for your defeat.
