Q: The Plague

This is F3 – Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. F3 is an international network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Core principles:

  1. Are free of charge
  2. Are open to all men
  3. Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
  4. Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
  5. End with a Circle of Trust

Disclaimer: The Plague is not a professional – PAX need to modify as necessary.

Warm-A-Rama

PAX moseyed to Remembrance Memorial for warm-a-rama

  • Imperial walkers 15 IC
  • Sun gods – 20 IC
  • Tappy Taps – 10 IC

Pre-Thang

PAX found an open spot on the wall to perform the following pyramid of exercises:

  • Australian Mountain Climbers 15, 10, 5
  • Chicken Peckers 15, 10, 5
  • Donkey Kicks – 15, 10, 5

THE Thang

PAX paired up for a simple, yet effective pyramid beatdown

PAX completed same number of reps for all 3 exercises then Bernie Sanders up the hill, run to Remembrance Memorial and bear crawl around the circle then mosey back to bottom of hill for next round.

Pyramid of exercises as follows:

Mosey back to shovel flags.

Circle of Trust:

  • The Plague shared thoughts on The Flux
    • Thinking about the flux and the concentrica has me thinking about a concept of The Archer. As a man, we have a quiver (mind, body, spirit) that we fill with arrows (time, energy, attention). Everyday we wake up trying to strengthen our quiver and aim the arrows at the important things in life.
    • The truth is, we don’t always hit the right target…if I’m honest…I miss the target completely a lot of days.
    • Over the holiday weekend I found myself annoyed and frustrated with the out-of-routine nature of being on “vacation”. My M reminded me that we’re not on vacation for ourselves but to build memories for our 2.0s. That’s hard for me to grasp most days. It’s not about me? Are you sure? Why not? Can we try to make it about me and see how that goes? I know it should be about me and I try really hard to not make it about me but my natural tendency is to be selfish and self-centered.
    • One of the best parts of F3 is being around men who will push me to get outside of myself and live THIRD. I need that and am grateful for it.
    • On the days you find you’re missing the target, think of this quote from Confucius, “The archer who misses his mark does not blame the target. He stops, corrects himself and shoots again.”
    • Go out and shoot another arrow. Don’t let the previous miss stop you from doing what you need to do to recenter, aim, and hit the target the next time!
