Burpee-O’Clock-Alypse

AO: greenmachine
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Best Boi (F3 Hill Country), moneyshot, Young and Restless, Jeremy Vanslyke, SalPal, Cowboy, Betty Ford, Grape, Hanes, Topanga, Natural Ice, Dirty Dozen, Canned Heat
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS: Humid and Steamy

THE HORRIBLE THANG: Burpee-O’Clock-Alypse

YHC kicked off the morning with an interval timer set to chime every 60 seconds, signaling a simple yet brutal plan: 5 burpees every minute on the minute for 45 minutes. In between each set of 5 burpees, PAX were graciously given the “opportunity” to catch their breath with a resting exercise called out by YHC. These included light stretching to start, followed by multiple rounds of a Free People’s Run, squats, lunges, Lt. Dans, bear crawls, crab walks, and LBCs.

The soundtrack for this beatdown was none other than Dave Matthews’ magnum opus, Crash, which eventually transitioned to Under the Table and Dreaming after some lag in the latter half of the album. This change tested not only our physical endurance but also our mental toughness.

Overall, there were absolutely no groans or complaints. Each call of “five burpees” was met with cheers and applause (or something close to that), and a new record of 225 burpees was set. YHC is hopeful that future F3 PAX will take on the challenge to push that record to 230 and beyond.

MOLESKINE: DO HARD THINGS

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tn Tussle and Q School!

COT: F3 does not Suscribe – but we do lift up prayer!
