No FNG’s, so right into Mission and Principles, led by Longhorn.

F3 – Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission –Plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it must:
Be free of charge
Be open to all men
Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Be led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.

Welcome
Mission
Five Core Principles

Six Pax assembled this cool, windy Monday morning. We found some shelter behind the building near the caboose on the Wabash Cannonball.
The site Q forgot the shovel flag, but as it isn't a core principle, we let him off the hook.

In order to honor Spaulding (100 Q's) and Fat Amy (1K posts) we measured a 1,000 foot straight away (~2/10 of a mile) on the Wabash and we ran that length 8 times. Each time we ran the distance, we collectively performed 100 reps of an exercise. This translated to roughly 17 reps per pax.
Exercises performed were:
merkins, burpees, Bonnie Blairs, BBSU, Windmills, Peter Parkers, PJST, and Absolutions.

Along the way we found keys on a lanyard with airpods and a fresh vape machine. We threw away the vape but stowed the keys and lanyard in a safe place then posted a photo on the Whitehouse Community Facebook page.

Welcome
Mission
Five Core Principles

Beautiful morning with mild temps and very little wind. Finally feeling like spring in the gloom.

We began with a mosey to the backside of the Rabbit Hill where I explained the work to be done.
We would run up the back slope to the top of the hill where we would perform 20 reps each of 3 exercises. The three exercises were:
Merkins
Peter Parkers
Bonnie Blairs

After the 60 reps pax would run down the slope to the paved trail and return to the top of the hill for more reps of the same three exercises.
Repeato until 5:55.

Nex we worked our way down the Rabbit Hole and moseyed back to the flag where we ended with a circle merk.

Six was Sprocket.

The Thang
No reps, no running, no rucks, no blocks, no weight, no burpees…but a smoke fest!

5 cones setup which creates 4 sections. Pick from white board any animal movement to do between sections.
Animal movement options:
1.) Bear Crawl
2.) Crab Walk
3.) Frog Jumps
4.) Bunny hops
5.) Starfish walk (cartwheel)
6.) Lateral Bear walk
7.) Murder Bunny (no block)
8.) Alligator Walk
9.) Crawl Bear
10.) Duck Walk

Split Pax into two teams of 6. Scoring bucket starts with 37 balls. Object is to move one ball at a time from scoring bucket to your teams bucket. I order to move a ball you must choose your own adventure each time down the sections. Must switch animal movement between each cone section. Once at the end you karaoke or skip back to start. Once there put a ball from bucket into your teams bucket. Once the balls have all been moved from center bucket to each teams bucket the round is over.

Several rounds of 18 to 19 each time. Then we raced the clock as a full team.

Because this is F3, and F3 men bring it, I added more cones to make each trip longer. Then after a couple rounds of 5 sections, Coconut added another set of cones because the energy was Fire and he always pushes us.

COR, NOR, Deliverance was the 6.

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.
