CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Nothing profound today, just a “Thank You” to those here today and by extension to all my brothers in F3. This workout was a copy of the first one I attended at the Dog Pound a year ago today (thanks, Ratchet!). At that time, I believe I skipped about half the loops and didn’t even make it to the Big Boys on the tennis court. Since then, I’ve had an amazing experience of all three F’s over this past year.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Kinda reused a Bomb Shelter BOM here:

Don’t be scared to live your life. Growth and true happiness occurs outside of your comfort zone. We have to push ourselves in every aspect of our lives to step out and do something different. Don’t shy away from something just because it is scary or unknown. Just do it. It’s better to try and fail than to never know what could have been.

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:

If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

We have sweated together, been rained on together, bled together, prayed together, played together and got better together.

I want to thank everyone I have met in F3.  We have opened up our hearts and minds to one another.  Even if we don’t know one another that well, I know you care about me and my family just like I care about you and your family.  We lean on one another when we need it…we laugh, we eat, we drink but we also pray for one another and our families.

F3 is good for our heart and soul.  Let’s keep supporting one another whether we’re the fastest or bringing up the 6 like I often do.  Let’s also encourage others to join us.  Lots of men need us just like I need you.  We have impacted each other and I’m certain there are other men that need to get involved with F3 whether it’s for their physical health, their mental health or their spiritual health!

THA-THANG:  Interlaken
Using a FIFO Sprint Train,  inter link (connect) the three lakes on campus.

While one person sprints to the next exercise station, the rest of the group does the current exercise in place.  When one person finishes the sprint he calls out “Go” to the next in line person, who then stops doing the exercise and sprints to the next station.  Upon reaching the next exercise station, begin doing the next exercise until the whole group has reached the current station.  It works best if we all stay in the same order.   Sprints are designed to be mostly on the straight aways and about 100 yards.  Exercises are:

  1. Plank hold.
  2. Leg lift hold.
  3. Squat Hold.
  4. Side Plank Star Hold.
  5. Elbows to Plank.
