    Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Five principles are open to all men, always free, always outdoors, always led by a member of the pax. Only you know your medical history so modify if needed. End in a circle of trust.

    Credo is leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.

    Intro – Welcome to F3 (Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith)

    Mission: To plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership

    5 Core Principles:
    – Free of charge
    – Open to all men
    – Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
    – Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion with no training or certification necessary
    – End with a circle of trust

    Credo: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him

    Warm-up:
    20 Side Straddle Hops
    12 Potato Pickers
    10 Lying Narutos

    Count-o-rama for 2 groups

    Workout:
    Two different circuits – Body Work and Block Work
    Body Work = Mtn. Climbers, Lieut. Dans, Imp Walkers, and Smurf Jacks
    Block Work = Overhead Press, Curls, Block Swings, Chest Press
    Reps – Do 20 reps for each exercise, then 15, then 10, and finally 5

    Group 1 started with Body Work and Group 2 with Block Work.
    Mixed into the playlist, were 6 different alarms that signified a "Sudden Change".
    When Sudden Change occurred:
    The group doing Body Work did 2 sprints with 3 burpees in the middle of each, then switched exercise circuit to doing Block Work.
    The group doing Block Work did 1 rifle carry with 1 man maker in the middle and 1 at the end, then switched circuit to doing Body Work.
