The Thang

Thang 1 – 4 stations in west parking lot

Three exercises written down at each station spaced along the outside of the west parking lot.  Did 25 reps each of one of the exercises and could share reps among the family.

Station 1 – Squats, Smurf jacks, Bonnie Blairs

Station 2 – Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Overhead claps

Station 3 -Big boys, Flutter kicks, Scissor kicks

Station 4 -Shoulder taps, Plank jacks, Mountain Climbers

Thang 2 – Infection Tag

We played a round of regular infection tag and a round of crab/bear infection tag.  The person infected does bear crawl and those not infected crab walk to “run” away.  Once a crab is infected they become a bear and go after the remaining crabs.

Thang 3 – Dora

200 reps split among families of the following exercises: Curls and Overhead press, other partners run half the parking lot and back.

Circle of Trust

Read this quote by Vince Lombardi – “Leaders aren’t born they are made.  And they are made just like anything else, through hard work.  And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal or any goal.”

I think this quote embodies F3 and what we are trying to accomplish.  Yes we want to get a good workout and enjoy fellowship, but we are really trying to build male community leaders.  There are people that are more predisposed to leadership but we continue to see men come out and through hard work and perseverance are able to develop and expand their leadership abilities.

Prayed for John Denver’s wife as she continues her recovery.

 

Naked Man Moleskin

Overall very good experience.  We will need to continue to experiment with time and location for the family workouts.  The cold weather coming up will also be a barrier.  I think for those that attended they enjoyed it.  I just wish I could have won 1 race against Unicorn!
