  • Probably cold(ish)
  • Probably dark(ish)

[ Welcome/Disclaimer ]

(1) Welcome to F3: Fitness, Fellowship, Faith

(2) My name is Steam and I’ll be your Q this evening

(3) A few things before we begin:

  • Contrary to popular belief, I’m not a professional
  • You are here on your own volition
  • If you need to modify anything we do this evening, feel free to do so, but push yourself and the men around you. They deserve it and so do you.

(4) FNGs?

Coat Collection: “We will take any and all coats to be donated and count them before the Warm-o-Rama

– Less than 5 coats = 100 man-makers (8-count body builder) throughout the Q

– More than 10 coats = no burpees or man-makers throughout the Q”

We had 4 coats.

  • 4 rounds of PT and focus on 1 corner at a time
  • We’ll do an exercise at one of the corners (POC 1), run to the Pavilion and do an exercise (POC 2), then run to the playground and do an exercise (POC 3), and then come back to this parking lot to rinse and repeat with the other 3 corners
  • Corner 1 (POC 1)
    • 10 man-makers OR 10×4 Mountain climbers
    • Mosey to POC 2

Buyout Option — Q entertained the buyout option for PAX to sprint up Baby Cardiac, do one slow merkin, run back down to POC 1-3 and do 20×4 squats, instead of of more man-makers/burpees. We chose the buyout option.

“When you don’t know how to identify a win, you will start mislabeling victories.” — Jerry Flowers

9 Ways You Can Identify Wins for the Rest of 2021

1 — Focus on the process, not the results

2 — Develop an aptitude (natural ability to do something) for gratitude

3 — Ask for feedback

4 — Mentally buy-in to the idea of incremental growth.

5 — Evaluation by documentation

    • sticky notes, journaling, documenting your incremental growth

6 — Don’t focus on just 1, but the many

    • A lot of people want to experience this really huge, identifiable, sexy win, when in reality, it’s about the hundreds of small wins along the way that aren’t as huge or public or sexy

7 — Encourage someone

8 — Use the “Share My Location” and “Find My iPhone” setting on your phone in real life

9 — Initiate the Matthew 7:7 model

    • ““Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
    • ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:7‬ ‭ESV‬‬ — https://bible.com/bible/59/mat.7.7.ESV
