Warm-O-Rama
Various stretchy things, including a few yoga-type thangs, followed by Dynos in a circle, then Mosey to Tennis Courts
Tha Thang
We divided into 4 groups at the corners of 2 combined courts with each group/team having a different suit of cards to create 4 stations (cardio, upper body,abs, lower body).
– teams rotated thru each station drawing a card and doing the exercise (reps were +10 to the card value, and 25 for face cards)
– when teams got back to their starting spot they instead went into the middle space between courts to do the “Ace in the Hole” which each had 100 reps
– when a team turned over a Joker (traditional) then everyone stopped and did 25 burpees, or a “Sad Clown” Joker had all Pax get on the line and sprint down to the very far end of all the courts
Quick Inspirational/Challenge Note:
For me, the rain made it awesome and memorable and reinforced one of the unique aspects of an F3 principle. Always being outside requires extra grit…it’s that sometimes hard to define quotient that had accelerated my servant leader growth.
To others, it may have sucked.
But it struck me that it’s a great analogy for life. When something hits you, rain or otherwise, do you brace for it and become trepidations or frustrated? Or embrace it? Squeeze out the value from it (like several of us had to squeeze out our shirts before North Lime)!
