THE THANG: Today marked the final day of the #monthlychallenge so YHC figured it would be nice to end it with a bang. The PAX lined up at 6 stations:
CB Curls, Merkins, Squats, LBCs, Lunges, and Big Boys. The final station and the timer lined up in front and had to do 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat until everyone finished their 5 burpees. That ended round 1.
We did a fellowship jog to the end of the field and sprinted back. On to round two, then round three. To ensure we finished on time, round 4 consisted of 15 burpees. This left us with plenty of time for some wall sits. MARY: An extra round of 50 reps!

COT:
F3 is all about invigorating community leadership. F3 defines Positive Habit Transfer as Ingraining Advantageous Tendencies In Others.

Habits are regular tendencies that become engrained over time. Habits can be positive, neutral, or negative. Bad Habits are easy to slip into, but hard to break. Positive Habits are hard to develop, but easy to slip out of.

When it comes to positive habit transfer, a man cannot give away what he himself does not possess. Because positive Habits are easy to slip out of, leaders must also take measures to ensure that their own Guardrails are not crumbling while he is trying to help others build theirs.

Guardrails allow a man to Accelerate without crashing. A growing set of positive personal habits acts as a guardrail just like having a habit of shared accountability between one another also acts as a guardrail.
