WARMUP: Nah, Lets’ get into it.

THE THANG:
Divided PAX into two teams by counting off 1’s and 2’s. Didn’t think this would be that much of a struggle for the PAX, but it is Friday.

Each team grab a coupon and caboose is loose run passing the coupon to the back and sprint to the front.

Stopped at the back parking lot for the thang

I used the prompt “Create an F3 45 min workout where there are two teams and each team has 1 cinder block” to create the workout and I think it delivered

Station 1: Relay Run (5 minutes)
– Teams line up at the starting point.
– One member from each team runs to a designated point (50 yards) carrying the cinder block, drops the block, and runs back to tag the next team member.
– The next member runs to the block, picks it up, and returns to the start line.
Station 2: Block Exercises (10 minutes)
– Each team performs the following exercises with the cinder block. Teams rotate after each member completes their set.
1. Cinder Block Squats (10 reps per member)
2. Cinder Block Overhead Press (10 reps per member)
3. Cinder Block Curls (10 reps per member)
4. Cinder Block Tricep Extensions (10 reps per member)
Station 3: Team Circuit (10 minutes)
– One team member performs the exercise with the cinder block while the rest of the team does a bodyweight exercise. Rotate after each member completes their block exercise.
1. Cinder Block Thrusters (10 reps) – Rest of the team does Plank
2. Cinder Block Lunges (5 reps each leg) – Rest of the team does Mountain Climbers
3. Cinder Block Rows (10 reps each arm) – Rest of the team does Flutter Kicks
4. Cinder Block Russian Twists (20 reps) – Rest of the team does Burpees
Station 4: Block Carry Relay (10 minutes)
– Teams line up and each member takes turns carrying the cinder block around a 100-yard loop.
– While one member is running with the block, the rest of the team is doing continuous exercises:
1. Round 1: Merkins (Push-Ups)
2. Round 2: Squats
3. Round 3: Plank
4. Round 4: LBCs (Little Baby Crunches)

PAX did some laps with sprints between each station.

Made our way back to Startex with the coupons, but set them down and did another sprint to the finish.

Ended with about 3 mins of Mary

CONDITIONS:

WARMUP:
Advised the PAX to stretch before because there would be no warm up today.
MARY:
Started with 5 mins of Mary, thanks for the idea @hairband
THE THANG:
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Indigeneous Peoples Run the long way around the stadium and down the ramps to the bottom of the stairs, but when we heard the word Run in the song “Dog Days are Over” by Florence and the Machine the PAX had to sprint.
Met at the bottom of the stairs and Bear way to Heaven up the stairs. Grape remarked that it was harder today than usual, probably because we didn’t do arm circles to warm up. Moseyed down the ramps to the bottom of the stairs.
PAX took turns picking an exercise to do while they ran up the stairs touching each step and running down the ramps.
Ran back up the stairs together and did a 5 Burpee buyout.
Indigenous Peoples run back to Startex with a Sprint to the finish.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Check slack for all the things
COT:
Blueliner was added to the PAX today.
Prayers for all those traveling for Thanksgiving

The goal of F3 is to grow leaders. Part of being a leader is asking for feedback. I asked the PAX for 2 things I could have done better as a Q today. 1. While the 1 PAX is running have the rest do the exercises in cadence instead of everyone for themself. 2. The run/timer was a little long to be doing just one exercise for that long. Also, received feedback my playlist was “meh” (Salpal), but he will understand the joys of being a dad to a teenage girl soon enough.

Thanks as always for the honor to lead.

The Haunted Doll

AO: handsomizer
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Cuban Missile, Natural Ice, Frasier, Supernova, Slumlord, Freakonomics, Spinal Tap
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
CONDITIONS: Perfect

WARMUP: SSH, LBAC, the old stretches

THE THANG: HAUNTED DOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

YHC asked his 6 year old daughter if by chance we had a haunted doll in the house. She proceeded to pull a terrifying Madam Alexander doll out of a bathroom drawer. This was an old doll given to her by my M, and so old that its head was literally hanging by a thread.

PAX was tasked with GETTING RID OF THE DOLL!

The thing:
1 pax instructed the group to do an exercise at the startdex, while he ran away from the group to ditch the doll some where far away. Once he returned after ditching the doll, the rest of the PAX went on a moseying hunt to find the cursed doll. If PAX could not find the doll a set of work out dice were invoked to give hot/cold clues to the dolls location. Work out dice consisted of a list of exercises (merkins, burpees, mt climbers etc) and a length of time or number of reps to perform the exercises.

Once the doll was found, we rinsed and repeated until of pax had a chance to ditch the doll.

Stairs were climbed and burpees were burped.

Thank you again for the opportunity to lead!
