F3 makes us more resilient. What does not kill us, makes us stronger. Today’s workout was called “Brick-o-lage.” The third building block of resilience is “bricolage” or the ability to make do with whatever is at hand. Psychologists follow the lead of French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss in calling this skill bricolage.1 Intriguingly, the roots of that word are closely tied to the concept of resilience, which literally means “bouncing back.” Says Levi-Strauss: “In its old sense, the verb bricoler…was always used with reference to some extraneous movement: a ball rebounding, a dog straying, or a horse swerving from its direct course to avoid an obstacle.”
Bricolage in the modern sense can be defined as a kind of inventiveness, an ability to improvise a solution to a problem without proper or obvious tools or materials.

Our workout used bricks and it was an absolute beatdown. I hope it helped all those who posted to be more resilient.

Let it be known that what began as a slow, methodical 30 count for each plank,that quickly escalated when Ponzi took over! Steinl is a brutal gift passed on from F3Greensboro – thanks Tommy Boy. Then, it was time for:
