20 Plank Jacks, From Plank Position do 15 second lifts each of right arm, left arm, right leg and left leg, 10 Imperial Walkers, 10 Windmills, 10 Rockettes
THA-THANG:
Mosey for 3 minutes.  Do 20 American Hammers.  Mosey another 3 minutes.  Do 20 Hello Dollies. Wave at the people on your street who are giving you strange looks.  On the way back to your driveway, sprint 30 seconds, lunge 30 seconds, and keep up that sequence until you are back.

Using CMU or another object of similar weight, do the following exercises.  Between each exercise Bernie Sanders for 25 yards and sprint back.  Here are the exercises to do with the CMU or weight:

  • 25 Overhead Presses
  • 25 Curls
  • 25 Rows
  • 25 Squats with CMU at chest

Next, we will do “Nickel, Dime, Quarters” with the exercises listed below.  You will run 20 yards and do 5 of the exercise, run 40 yards and do 10 of the exercise, and finally run 100 yards before doing 25 of the exercise.  Do the same for each of the following exercises:

  • Squat Jumps
  • Merkins
  • Big Boy Sit-ups (change direction after this to go back to your Home AO)
  • Star Jumps
  • Carolina Dry Docks
  • Flutter Kicks (both legs = 1)

Next, we will do elevens.  Find yourself a step to jump up onto.  We will be doing elevens, starting with one bench jump and ten bench dips off of the step, then going down or up in order.  Next, start with one decline merkin off the step, sprint for about 20 yards and do ten mountain climbers (both legs = 1)

Do you have any time left?  How much? Well alternate between sprinting and lunging away from your Home AO for half of the time left.  Then alternate between sprinting and lunging for the other half of the time left on your way back.  Congratulate yourself and proceed to the BOM Word.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I am in a poetry mood because in my last “Virtual Q” I also had a poem.  When reading this poem, ask yourself what the “it” is that the poet is talking about.

“Annunciation”

Even if I don’t see it again—nor ever feel it
I know it is—and that if once it hailed me
it ever does—
And so it is myself I want to turn in that direction
not as towards a place, but it was a tilting
within myself,
as one turns a mirror to flash the light to where
it isn’t—I was blinded like that—and swam
in what shone at me
only able to endure it by being no one and so
specifically myself I thought I’d die
from being loved like that.

MOLESKIN:
I send out my prayers to each of you brothers, thanking you for the bond we have and encouraging you to continue to be a HIM in this very difficult time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Can’t wait for the next Virtual Coffeeteria!

[ 30 for 30 ]

Welcome/Safety-Brief/Intro

  • Welcome to F3: Fitness – Fellowship – Faith —> Quarantine Edition
  • My name is Steam and I’ll be your virtual QIC today. In a way though, you’re own Q today. Because I (probably) won’t show up to your house and pound out this workout with you. It’s on you. Be your own Q during my Q (tracking?) and push yourself and the…..kids/dogs/driveway pavement/etc around you. Get. It. Done.
  • You are here on your own volition unless you’re being forced to do this – in that case stop what you’re doing and have someone call 911.
  • If you need to modify anything about this workout today – don’t. I’ll know.
  • Kidding – I won’t. If you need to modify anything from this workout today feel free to do it – safety is #1 but that’s not an excuse to slack off because you’re not putting in the work with other F3 dudes per usual. Get. It. Done.
  • FNGs? Probably not a good idea….up to you.

Warm-Up Xs

  1. SSH (duh): 30 (1 count)
  2. Imperial Walkers: 30 (1 count)
  3. Windmill: 30 (1 count – see a pattern?)
  4. Motivators: 30 (this is a lot – I know.) [ these are motivators: https://mobile.twitter.com/f3naperville/status/1071450633805488128?lang=en ]
  5. Rockette: 30 (1 count)

THA THANG/PT

[ 30 for 30 ] — Like ESPN but better

30 Minutes – 30 Exercises

  • 90 seconds in between each exercise – aka on for 60secs, off for 90secs
  • Why 90 seconds in between? What am I supposed to do? EXCELLENT question. Here’s my challenge to you with this 30 for 30 workout:
    • For those 60 seconds you’re “on” – go balls to wall. Rock it. Crush it.
    • For those 90 seconds “you’re off” – focus your mind and heart on prayer. Prayer for something or someone specific each time. For the 90 seconds in between each exercise – I challenge you to intentionally pray whether it’s internally or audibly, give it to the Father. Then you’re back on grinding for 60.
    • Some things I’m going to focus in on for my 90 seconds: my family (specific members throughout), our country, the mental fortitude of our men in F3, etc etc etc
  • It’s gonna be different – but I encourage you to marry these 2 things (working out/physical strength & prayer/spiritual discipline — aka 1st F & 3rd F) intentionally for this workout.
  • The Xs
  1. SSHs (Side-Straddle Hops)
