Free Outdoor Morning Workouts To Build Community Leaders

It was a Crazy Game of Poker

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: 76 degrees and humid

FNGs: Disclaimer given, no FNGs.

COP:  SSH, TTT, Imperial Walkers

The Thang:

We have been playing with the F3 playing cards at The Den since a few Pax picked up decks.  This was a variation while playing 5 card stud.

Q dealt each Pax 5 cards, with jokers in the deck as wilds.  Best 5 card poker hand wins.  It pays to be a winner, all losers “ante” 10 burpees while the winner arranged the card order.  The Pax then complete the exercises on each of the 5 cards in which ever order the winner decides.  The Q deals again  and you play the next hand the same way.

Winners were  GI Jane (x2), Cornhole, Mr. Feeney

Mary:

Plenty

Numberama: 5

Namerama:  Mr. Feeney, Oops, Olaf, GI Jane (R), Cornhole

Devo:

Devo shared by Mr. Feeney.  1 Cor. 16:13-14

Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith act like men, be strong.  Let all that you do be done in love.

We discussed the contrast of the worldly impression of “act like men” and “be strong”  with God’s intent here of “stand firm in the faith” and acting in love.  Good conversation by the Pax.

Moleskin: So the Q wanted to try something different the the F3 cards.  The poker worked out great, I would recommend it!  If you don’t like all the low cards in the deck, Poker is perfect.  We did nearly all face cards, aces, and jokers.  First hand was 3 aces by GI Jane, so 300+ reps right there!

COP:  SSH, TTT, Imperial Walkers

The Thang:

We complete 3 rounds of Starfish.  Increasing reps 1 to 21 with the main exercise being alternated between each of the auxiliary.  So every odd number is the core exercise.  1 merkin, 2 SSH, 3 Merkins, 4 Freddie Mercury, 5 Merkins…..etc.

The first round was upper body with Merkins surrounded by SSH, Freddie Mercury, shoulder touches, and curb dips

Round 2 was squats surrounded by mountain climbers, flutter kicks, Bobby hurley, and lunges.

Round 3 was core.  American Hammer surrounded by box cutters, LBC, imperial walkers, and something else…

Mary:

Round 3 took care of that.

Devo:  The devo was a word on compassion.  We show the ultimate compassion when we share our faith with another.  The other side of compassion is that you have to have a relationship with a person in order to have compassion for them.

Moleskin:  The Pax was surprised by the quality of the workout today!  Good push by the men!

Today was the monthly Fitness Test for The Den.  It is the King of the Corner.

The Pax completes 10 rounds of the following exercises as fast as possible.  Fastest time is the King for the month.

20 OHP, 20 squats with block, 20 curls, 20 LBCs, and sprint 30 yards and complete 10 burpees.

Announcements:

Devo: The devo was the Qs perspective on the world response to the murder of George Floyd.  Listen to what people are saying.  Racism and prejudice are unfortunately constant realities in the world.  For any that think because they “aren’t racist” there isn’t a problem, they are part of the problem.  The hope is not for protest to stop, but for the world to change.  At some point, we must judge people for who they are, not the color of their skin.

Moleskin:  We has quite the competitive fitness test today.  Outhouse won by half a round, but Weezer and Uga gave chase the whole time.  Outhouse was inspired by the memory of his good friend and the loss of his father.  Good win in his honor!

The Thang:

The Pax partnered up and met at the side parking lot.  We completed a 4-corners style workout with a twist.  The Pax completed the 4 exercises with a mosey in between each corner.

Corner #1: 3 lunges IC

Corner #2: 6 Diamond Merkins

Corner #3: 9 Squats

Corner #4: 12 reps IC of your choice each lap

The twist:  As the Pax completed the rounds……if your pair passed another pair, then you increased the reps at each corner by one rep (4,7,10,13), pass another pair, increase by another rep (5,8,11,14).

Mary:

40 Flutter Kicks, 40 LBC, 20 Heel Touches

Announcements:

Devo: Reach out to those around you.  Friends, F3 brothers, family, or anyone that comes to your mind.  Sometimes that is the Holy Spirit urging and we often ignore it.  I challenged the Pax to take those opportunities to reach out.

Moleskin:  I really expected there to be more passing of pairs and guys needing to do more and more reps.  GI Jane and Outhouse passed Doobie and I, but that was it!!  I thought it would be good to see those reps increase, but in actuality, the pride factor kicked in and the Pax pushed not to get passed while others were pushing to catch other pairs.  That really produced a good workout for all!!  Great push men.

Classic Dora.  We grabbed a block and paired up at the side of the church.  Pax who have posted the longest paired with Pax who first posted most recently.  Completed the following exercises as a pair alternating with running around the parking lot with a block.

100 burpees

200 merkins

300 squats with block

Mary:

40 LBC, 30 Freddie Mercury, 20 american hammer, 10 Bert Reynolds

Announcements:

Devo: Just because it is simple, doesn’t mean it is easy.  After 90 burpees, the last 10 burpees are simple, but it isn’t easy.  In the same way, exercising patience demonstrating compassion 90 times isn’t easy, but it is simple.  Don’t overcomplicate things.

Moleskin:  The goal was to give some of our new FNG’s a little less fun of a BC.  We had 3 join in the last week.  So far we had played with Brokeback’s pole, then played a little Uno with Used to.  I didn’t want them to thin F3 was all fun and games, so I wanted a nice classic Dora.  The entire Pax wasn’t disappointed.  The suck was experienced by all.  Everyone finished and even had time for some Mary.  Great job by all, but especially Doobie, Mow-Town, and Cornhole!

The Thang:

Workout was a roll of a single die.  Each Pax took a turn rolling the die and the Pax proceeded to complete the corresponding exercise.  Round 2 each Pax rolled the die twice and the Pax completed both exercises.  Round 3 was double or nothing where we doubled the exercise from the die.

The exercises were as follows:

1-5 burpees

2-10 merkins

3-15 mountain climbers

4-20 squats

5-25 imperial walkers

6-complete all 5 exercises

Devo: You reap what you sow.  Whether it is the our physical fitness, marriage, raising children, or engaging in small group.  We must decide the fruit we choose to bear and then make sure we are sowing the seeds that will produce our fruit.

Moleskin:  It was great to see 6 Pax show up for a cold rainy day.  The Pax helped me decide an ab workout to keep us from laying on the wet ground.  LBCs were replaced with imperial walkers.  The pax showed a great push and the workout had the perfect ending… on the double, Tinder rolled a 6 so we did double the reps on all exercises for a finale.  Great work…..plenty of squats and I don’t think I have ever done that many imperial walkers in my whole life added together.
