Warm up: Don Quixotes, Cherry Pickers, Michael Phelps, LBACs, Copperhead Squats, Frankenstein Walk, and Skips.

The Thang: Resistance Band HIIT

4 Rounds, 30 sec on, 20 sec off, of the following:

• Resistance Band Merkins

• Resistance Band Bent Over Rows

• Burpees

4 Rounds, 30 sec on, 20 sec off, of the following:

• Resistance Band Squats

• Resistance Band Shoulder Presses

• Resistance Band Thrusters

4 Rounds, 30 sec on, 20 sec off, of the following:

• Squat Band Pull-Aparts

• Resistance Band Arm Curls

• Resistance Band Lunges (one leg each round)

Observations: Resistance bands counter the normal pull of gravity by putting maximum tension at the portion of the movement with the greatest muscle recruitment. We found a whole new definition of burn from this workout. Unfortunately, we only got through 5 of twelve sets through the last portion of the workout—too much explaining/talking, not enough working (will correct next time).

Announcements: Litter pick-up on Saturday, May 1st. Tentative time will be 0730 instead of the workout to enable families to join us. More to come as the time approaches.

CoT: In 1978, a seemingly straightforward experiment designed to establish the relationship between high blood cholesterol and heart health in rabbits discovered that kindness—in the form of a particularly nurturing post-doc who pet and spoke to the lab rabbits as she fed them—made the difference between a heart attack and a healthy heart. Groundbreaking new research shows that love, friendship, community, and our environment can have a greater impact on our health than anything that happens in the doctor’s office. For instance, chronic loneliness can be as unhealthy as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day; napping regularly can decrease one’s risk of heart disease; and people with purpose are less likely to get sick.

The 2nd F in F3 stands for fellowship. In F3, we are not here just for ourselves, but for each other.

CoT:

Motivational words of wisdom for each of the 10 Rounds of Dirty:
1. “Wins and losses come a dime a dozen. But effort? Nobody can judge that. Because effort is between you and you.” – Ray Lewis
2. “You gotta be hungry for it. You’ve got to put everything you got on it. EVERYTHING! Every second. You have to be the first one in line. That’s how leaders are born.” – Ray Lewis
3. “You’ve got to go out and show them that I’m a different creature now, then I was five minutes ago, cause I’m pissed off for greatness. Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre.” – Ray Lewis
4. “The only way to defeat pain is to recognize pain exists.” – Ray Lewis
5. “What’s the difference between you and the man sitting beside you? It’s 1%. In my business, only 1% makes it. If everyone had the same dream, only 1 will make it from this crowd. Who will be that one?” – Ray Lewis
6. “I figured something out. And it is no secret what I figured out. Whatever the majority of people were doing, I found myself doing the opposite. I wanted to chase something great.” – Ray Lewis
7. “Will you be remembered, how would you be remembered, why wouldn’t you fight for the greatest achievement ever?” – Ray Lewis
8. “I’ll give everything I have, and today was about me giving everything that I had, showing people that no matter the circumstances you may be going through, just push through it. If you can push through it, you will encourage somebody. Today, hopefully, through what I did, somebody was uplifted.” – Ray Lewis
9. “I prepare so no one can take what is mine, no one can replace my mind, my heart.” – Ray Lewis
10. “The greatest opportunity in the world is found here today… We already know what yesterday has got for us. It’s already gone. Tomorrow, too far away. What about right now?” – Ray Lewis

COT:

• YHC reflected on his Uncle Peter’s death yesterday and him being the ‘last of his generation.’ Peter lost his wife when the youngest of his children was 3 years old. Many of the PAX are experiencing their roles in the middle, the so-called ‘sandwich generation,’ which brings responsibilities for our kids and elders. PAX shared their situation in the middle of the sandwich.

CoT: It’s one thing to workout by yourself, but a whole new event working out with each other, and in the sight of God. Isaiah 40:28-31

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

F3 facilitates true growth of ourselves physically (so we can run and not be wear, and walk and not faint), but also spiritually.
