Introduction

My plan was to do redo week 6 IPC from last year as it was one of the most challenging beat downs for me but at the same time I did not want it to be so repetitive, so I decided to add a 2 thang beat down.  I browsed through the exicon to find a new exercise and found the BBBS, I modified it to make it a competition.

Warm-O-Rama

  • Motivators from 6
  • Arm Circles IC 10 fwd/rvs

The Thang

Thang 1

Modified version of BBBS

PAX number off 1’s & 2’s and form two lines approx. 30 yards apart with their coupons.

Both groups start at the same time and must perform 5 burpees, 5 merkins and 5 big boys before they run across to pick up a coupon at the other groups line and returns it his line.  They continue this until the preset alarm goes off.  Team with the most coupons on their side wins.

I set a timer of 10 minutes (without telling them the amount of time) and the competition began.

Thang 2

  • 10 Blockies
  • 20 Curls
  • 10 Wood choppers
  • 20 Skull Crushers
  • 10 Coupon Swings
  • 20 Merkins
  • 10 Big Boys

Circle of Trust

Like tradition every New Year, people have New Year’s resolutions, for the most part people want to live healthier, they want to start working out, lose weight and eat healthier.  Today I can guarantee that every gym will be ass packed with these people.  But for how long?  A few weeks, maybe a couple of months before they fall off.  For a change, instead of adding new things in your life, what if you just do more of what’s already working for you?  My wife asked me what I was doing for my New Year’s resolution, and instinctively I said, NOTHING!  She looked at me strange as I answered immediately before she could finish her sentence.  I told her that I started my resolution about 1.5 years ago when I joined F3 and I was going to continue to do what I’ve been doing.

Later I thought about it, and regretted not putting more thought into it.  Yes, I want to continue to do the morning BC’s but I could do more, I could lead more Q’s, I could lead more 2nd and 3rd F events.  I could do more EC’s, there’s so much more I can do as I continue to do what I’ve been doing what’s been working for me.

So I suggested to the PAX, if they didn’t come up with a resolution, why not do more of what they’ve been doing that’s been working for them.

It was nice seeing Cyclone and Homer Simpson come out as it’s been a minute since I’ve seen them.  I’m going to have to dig into more of the exicon and come out with some more creative boot camps.
