Introduction

The Gobbler Challenge is an F3 Nation challenge (similar to Iron Pax) that you can sign up for and measure your performance against others across the map.  They also are raising money for a great 3rdF cause, so I thought this would be a good time to Q this up.  The challenge is one hour, and since our standard workouts are 45 minutes, I gave the PAX 2 options.

Option 1: Arrive by 5am and do the entire challenge from 5am-6am.

Option 2: Standard start time of 5:15am, with an extended stretch session, a 30-minute challenge, and then Mary.

Warm-O-Rama

SSH OYO while I went over the F3 mission, core principles, and credo.

Warm-up stretches: Hip openers, Willie Mayes Hayes with arm reach, knee pull with ankle rotation, quad stretch, polka hamstring stretch, downward dog while pedaling feet (calve stretch).

The Thang

Set-up: Movement is 100 meters each time.  Reps start at 10 for round 1, and increase by 10 each subsequent round.  Try to get as many reps as possible in the time allotted.  Scoring is 1 point/rep and 10 points/movement (40 points/round for the movements).

  • Farmers walk (right hand)
  • Coupon overhead press
  • Rifle carry
  • Air squats
  • Farmers walk (left hand)
  • Rowers (world war 1 to full tuck)
  • Rifle carry
  • Coupon swings
  • Start back at beginning and increase reps by 10/round as noted above

Mary (for the group that wasn’t doing the full challenge:

  • Started with 40 rowers OYO and then hold high plank when complete.
  • Pilates moves ICx10 (leg pull, knee pull, pigeon pull)

Circle of Trust

We went around in a circle and each shared a positive moment of Thanksgiving.
