  • Keeping Wednesdays Alive – from Boo-Boo

    Three PAX showed up to clear skies, no wind, air temps in the mid-40s, and commitment to keep Wednesdays at JPAX alive.

    Slowsey to the pad for a warmup consisting of Grass Grabbers, Imperial Walkers, forward and reverse arm circles, Mountain Man Poopers with Good Mornings, Parker Peter/Peter Parkers, Thai Fighters, and Abe Vigodas.

    Scantroned halfway to JPAS and mosey the remainder of the way.

    PAX appreciated the new light at the stairs, but also noticed the staged coupons were exposed. After all rounds were completed, PAX slowseyed to the stairs to reorganize the coupon cache.

    Mosey to the jogging path for a burpee at each light pole (regardless of whether it was lit or not) around JPAS.

    Scantroned halfway to the flag, moseyed the other half. COT with prayers for Mahatma’s niece, Frac’s parents, Boo-Boo’s SIL, and Charmin’s family. Boo-Boo out!

  • Bears, Monkeys, and Donkeys at the Mothership – from Triple Shift

    With Thanksgiving on my mind, I wanted to make sure that the NOLA Pax knew how thankful I was to Q the Mothership. My watch shows 6:30 am and I launch into my necessary disclaimer and go over the 5 core principles of F3. From there we head to the Peristyle for the low slow warm ups with the form police out in full force.
    WARMARAMA
    10 Squats, 10 Merkins, 10 Peter Parkers, 10 Shoulder Taps, 10 Tie Fighters (forward and backward) with 15 Burpees. Everything was in a slow cadence and the form police had to issue citations for not getting past 90 degrees on the squats. Not being in a plank position for the Peter Parkers and Shoulder Taps (Saw too much A Frame going on) and not getting the chest to the ground on the Merkins and Burpees.

    THE THANG
    I inform the PAX of my desire to go around the great lawn on the pavers by performing the Gorilla, Bear Crawl and Crawl Bear. Specifically, we start on the pavers in front of the small monument and we are always facing north. We proceed to Monkey to the right all the way to the covered structure. From there, we bear crawl north to the covered structure. Once we reach that location, we Monkey to the left to the covered structure then Crawl Bear south to the covered structure. Once we reach the last covered structure, we Monkey to the right to where we started. That routine took about 20-25 minutes.
    We cross the street to the use the benches in front of the Peristyle for 10 low slow Bulgarian Split Squats (each leg), 10 low slow dips and some reverse plank time with our feet on the benches and shoulders making contact with the ground.
    With time running short I lead the Pax in the JackAss Webb routine which is a one burpee / 2 donkey kick exercise. We do 5 burpees IC /10 DK, 7 burpees IC /14 DK and 10 burpees IC / 20 DK.
    Finish up the last 10 minutes with stretching.

    COT
    Had the countoff, namerama and shared the importance of being grateful not just thankful. Being thankful was more of a thought or feeling while being grateful compels us to action. Specifically, gratitude is incomplete if there is no expression of your gratefulness. So, this Thanksgiving season, show your gratitude by expressing it in a concrete way. Maybe, sign up to Q a workout to express your gratitude for F3 and what it has done in and through your life.

  • The Renni is a Boomin – from Fracsac

    19 Pax posted at the Renaissance looking to kick the week off right.
    Disclaimer given along with the 5 core principles and off we went to face the bacon for the warm up. During this time the pax were asked for the 5 core principles which they got. Then YHC asked for the Mission Statement. The pax called upon needed some help so he bought a phone a friend with 10 x 8 count body builders.

    Mini Dora from fountain to top of stairs.

    Move to tree line for some bear crawls and such with a little lunging.

    Back of the museum for 5 x Sunday mornings.

    A few minutes of Mary on the way back to the flag with a mental exercise resulting in burpees due to a failure.

    CoT

    NMM

    There was a time when the Renni really struggled to draw in Pax. YHC posted alone several times and had the pleasure of welcoming Hokie as the only other post for the first few months. YHC is now blessed to have so many HIMs join!
    It would have been 20, but the scheduled Q had to back out due to an illness. YHC was happy to step up!

    The time change gave us that rare 25 hours in a day. What to do with that extra hour? Heisenberg suggested a one hour pre Renni Ruck, which YHC was happy to indulge.

    10 years strong in Nola and we’re showing no sign of slowing down. Tclaps to all Pax that make F3 what it is.
