Shamrock F3 vs. FiA Workout

  • THE SCENE: Shamrock. Weather high 30’s clear morning
    F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
    WARM-O-RAMA:
  • 20 X SSH
  • 10 X Merkins
  • 15 X Forward Baby Arm Circles
  • 16 X Reverse Baby Arm Circles (apparently I lost count)
  • 10 X Tempo Squats

THA-THANG:
The workout was a Tabata Timed workout with :40 seconds of workout at :20 seconds of rest 3 sets of each exercise.  The exercises listed below were a mixture of FiA workouts “borrowed” from my wife “Rapking,” and F3 staples. I had a random list of music playing so that when a song mentions men we would do a workout from the F3 side. When the music mentions women in the song we did a FiA workout. The only exception was Aerosmiths “Dude Looks Like a Lady” this song was the wild card and you could pick any exercise to complete. Some of the songs were “Man I feel Like a Woman,” “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” and “Watta Man.”

  • Merkins
  • Curls
  • Overhead Press
  • Big Boy Sit-up

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The message in the workout is to not assume that a female workout is less intense or not as effective as a male workout. This message should be carried over in common life as well, and to never take for granted the importance of your partners role in a relationship. A relationship should not be dominated by one person and instead needs to be a team effort with equal input and contribution. Also today is the start of Lent for most faiths and is practiced by many. Always remember to never take the women in your life for granted and to treat them with the utmost respect just as a HIM should, but also don’t assume that the females are the weaker sex, the workout should be an indication of just how strong most women in our lives can be.

MOLESKIN:
We did say a prayer for Mermaid’s and Anchorman’s friends who are both going through major medical issues in their life. We prayed to keep them and their family strong during this very stressful time in their life.

  • Welcome to F3: Fitness/Fellowship/Faith
  • My name is Steam and I‘ll be your QIC this morning
  • A few things as we begin:
    • I’m not a professional
    • You’re here on your own volition
    • If you need to modify anything we do this morning, feel free to do so! But here is what this is not: an excuse to modify if you’re tired or sore. Here’s what this is: a call to action to push a little harder, a little longer, and encourage the man on your left and right to do the same.

I am a product of the men of F3 Knoxville’s leadership and faithfulness. When I started with F3 6 years ago, I was just some college kid that was wasting his life away. Through the High Impact Men of F3, I was shown a different way. Surrounding myself with high impact fathers, husbands, leaders, and men helped me grow into the man I am today. And that is something I will never be able to payback. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I told a story about my oldest daughter and her actions.  I counseled her to be a good example, and she (in the moment) did not want to be an example for anyone.  Her little sister was acting out in the same manner, and I asked her to be a good example.  Whether we want to be or not, we are all examples.  It was in that moment that I realized the issues I had with her, were things that I had modeled poorly for her.  You never know who is watching, and how they will choose to follow.

Jesus set a great example of Love, he could have chosen violence, or sarcasm, or really anything, but he chose to model love, and we should follow that lead.

Some relative verses:

Philippians 3:17
Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

1 Peter 5:3
Not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

1 Corinthian 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

Titus 2:7
Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,

MOLESKIN:
Pray for travel to Miami for Anchorman.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Sacrifice – Do we sacrifice for our families, friends and God all of the time?  Of course not.  We’re human. We sin.  We think of ourselves too much.

However, sacrifice can become a habit like prayer, exercise, etc. so let’s all strive to make sacrifice for God and others a part of our every day life.

Sacrifice means giving to the Lord whatever He requires of our time, talent and treasures to further His word. Our willingness to sacrifice is an indication of our devotion to God.

1 John 3:16  By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

Ephesians 5:25   Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

John 13:34   A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Galatians 6:9   And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Hebrews 13:15-16    Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

John 15:13    Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Philippians 2:3-4     Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

MOLESKIN:

I’ve been thinking about sacrifice and if I’m doing enough for the Lord, my family, etc.

The Word: Psalm 46:9-11

9 

He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.

10 

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

John 16:33

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

 I love hearing the all powerful statements from both God the Father in the Old Testament and from Jesus in the New Testament. 

I just want to encourage you men to lean on this all powerful God that created the universe.
