21 STRONG showed up to Downtown Train (which I believe is a record) for YHC’s VQ.  Mumble chatter was on point. Thanks for coming out. I’m glad I found F3 and it was a pleasure to lead today. The accountability, encouragement, along with the admiration of fellow PAX, certainly inspires me to try everyday to be a better version of myself.

EC: Blue Hen, Coal Ash, Da Business, Dawgpound, Dumbo, Emeril, M4L, Maybelline, Nemo, Pablo, Particle Board, Slide Rule, Yogurt

It was a chilly spring morning, but we got warmed up pretty quick.

Warm Up: Standard Downtown Train lap to start.  Circled up, 5 burpees (oyo) to start things off followed by daisy pickers, windmills, some tricep stretches, Michael Phelps, fazio arm circles (forward and backward), and air presses.

The Workout: Moseyed over to the parking lot in the back of the library for the workout. YHC had two goodie bags, one with 10 standard exercises, the other with 10 variations of burpees. Pax partnered up. YHC pulled one standard exercise from the bag 1 and a burpee variation from bag 2. One partner completed as many reps of the exercise pulled from bag 1, while partner sprinted to the opposite end of parking lot, completed reps of whatever burpee variation was pulled from the bag, and then sprinted back. Partners then switched to complete the other exercise. As each group finished they held plank for the 6. Once everyone was in, YHC reached in the goodie bags for two more exercies. Repeated this until it was time to head back for Mary. Lined up for a short indian run back to the starting point and Mary.

Exercises and burpee variations included…

Plank jacks, plank jack burpess (5), star jumps, star jump burpees (5), split leg jump squats, altrenating leg burpees (5), monkey humpers, twist (180) burpees (10), hand release merkins, lateral burpees (6), Jack Webs (5 merkins, 15 airpress), traveling or leap frog burpees (5), Plank shoulder taps, tuck jump burpees (5), squat jumps, mountain climber burpees (5 burpees with 10 mountain climbers each round).

Mary: LBCs in cadence
Announcements: This Saturday, 9 am, Southwake Dad workout, couple of upcoming tri workouts (talk with Yogurt), be on the lookout for Slack/Facebook posts from Pickachu.
Prayer: Nemo volunteered to take us out. Crab Legs (that he is selected for trial drug therapy), Forceps’ friend who is recovering, any Pax out there injured or sick in our thoughts for a quick recovery.

24 at a warmer than usual early Feb edition of Disney as YHC returned as guest Q to bring back a popular workout from last year, and straight out of the F3 exicon, The Red Barchetta.  Named after a classic song by Canadian rock legends Rush, the workout is meant to get he heart rate up and keep moving.  The song, by the way, is based on an excellent short story about a time in the future when we have “motor laws” making it illegal to go joy riding in a classic sports car.  A young man gets his uncles red barchetta out from storage in a barn and heads out on the open road, through the mountains.

5 on EC Nemo, Deadbolt, Warbucks, Lipstick and Pikachu

Warm Up: Quick jog around the field, standard round of w/u exercises in the lot with a built in preview of the sequence of exercises in the main event.
The Workout: Mosey to field, take spot on the line.  100 yard dash, 100 IC SSH, 100 yard jog back.  75 yard dash, 75 IC Mt Climbers, 75 yard jog back.  50 yard dash, 50 IC LBCs, 50 yard jog back.  25 yard dash, 25 Merkins, 25 yard jog back.  10 yard dash, 10 burpees OYO, 10 yard jog back.  Took a lap around the field to cap it off.
Mary: Quick sets of standard mary exercises, keeping the heart rate going (we moved fast)
Announcements: Check your facebook and slack – lots going on
Prayer: Moby’s dad, Crableg’s friend, took a silent 10 count for unspoken and YHC took us out.

Great effort by all who posted,  That’s a deceptively challenging workout and everyone just kept moving.  Honor to lead, as always.
