ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
KickFlip was out a couple of weeks ago and he was reflecting on a message that Archie delivered… Coming to F3 does not make you a HIM. I agree with this statement. It doesn’t. There are also several HIMs that have never been to an F3 workout. We need to get them out here with us.

F3 also doesn’t count as church. ⛪️ If you’re here and don’t have a church you call home, I would personally like to invite you to Faith Promise where me and my family attend. There’s a spreadsheet floating around with a lot of our F3 brothers and the churches they belong to. So again, I encourage you to check it out, if you don’t have a church you call home.

I will say this though… Being out here in the gloom with these men is a great foundation and starting point. Surrounding yourselves with High Impact Men, is going to encourage you to strive to be one yourself. I know, because I’m speaking from experience. You push me to be my best, not only when I’m out here with you, but also when no one else is around. Thank you!

WARMUP: Briefly to get to the Thang

THE THANG: Mosey to the rock pile near the splash pad for a circuit Tabata – 8 rounds, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off with a different exercise each of the 8 rounds. The 8 exercises were merkins, curls, rows, LBCs, tricep extensions, squats, overhead presses, and leg lifts. So, we did 20 seconds of merkins, followed by 10 seconds of rest, followed by 20 seconds of curls and so on until we were doing 20 seconds of leg lifts at the end of the 8 rounds. We did the same circuit of 8 exercises Tabata-style 6 times. We ran around the playground after each round except between the 5th and the 6th rounds. Mosey the long way back to the AO.

MARY: Held plank until time (about 30 seconds)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: We need more pride and patriotism in this country.
