COT: The holidays can be stressful. F3 can help. Thank you for two great COTs a year ago from which I draw two points. 1) AVOID perfectionism, 2) FOCUS on being with your family. It is the case that many HIMs like us like to work, not party and socialize day after day. In the end, you may have to use some of your F3 perseverance skills to get through the holidays. We will all be back here in January after the holidays SYITG

Explorin’ with Dora

Date: 2023-12-07
AO: edge_of_reason
Q: Chef
PAX: Quip
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
WARMUP:
20cc SSH
20cc Imperial Walkers
20cc Windmills
15cc Michael Phelps
15cc Mountain Climbers
Static Stretches:
– Across arm stretches

THE THANG:
1) DORA 1-2-3 – Teams of 2 pax working together to reach cumulative exercise goals of 100, 200, and 300 reps. Pax 1 executes as many reps as possible while Pax 2 sprints 100 yards down and back. Flapjack until team goal is reached. Exercises are a top-to-bottom of body progression, i,e, 100 merkins per team (chest), 200 LBCs per team (core), 300 squats per team (legs). If odd number of PAX then extra PAX will hold a plank.

2) Explorin – Moseyed while testing various exercises equipment positioned around the football field. Used this to do: 10cc step ups, 10 plyometric jumps, 10cc Aussie Merks, and 15cc dips.

3) Bear Brawl – Like a Football sled during two-a-days, Pax 1 assumes the Bear Crawl position while Pax 2 provides resistance to Pax 1’s shoulders and resists their forward progress for a pre-determined distance. Then FlapJack. Another advantage of this exercise is that P2 can provide encouragement/motivation into P1’s ear directly. MumbleChatter rises as resistance increases reciprocally.

MARY:
10cc Reverse Crunches
10cc Flutter kicks
10 Partner Leg Push Downs

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
