18 of the best men I have had the pleasure of knowing posted in the gloom of a purely September morning to get better. Today, I chose my favorite workouts that I have gleaned over my time with F3 NOLA.
The Thang
Mosey to the Bandstand for COP and Hops
SSH x 25
Plank Jacks x 20
Imperial Walkers x 20
Mountain Climbers x 25
Wall Hops x 10 – Get yourself from the ground to the top of the bandstand by jumping and pushing up with your triceps. 1 time across = 1
Mosey to Soccer field
6 Minutes of Mary
Putins x 15
Penguins x 20
Wife Pleasers x 15
Hip Raises x 15 (Left then right)
LBC x 20
Mosey to the Goal Post
Peek a boo Burpees x 10
Mosey to fly
Mississippi Salute
Rotating Planks x 5 – Start in standard plank, after a 4-count, rotate to left hand in the air, after a 4 count, rotate to inverted plank, 4-count, rotate to right hand in the air, 4-count, rotate to standard plank. Then do the whole thing in reverse. That’s 1.
Mosey to Audubon Statue
Step Ups Left Lead x 20
Dips x 20
Step Ups Right Lead x 20
Mosey to the flag
Circle of man – With the pax in a tight circle, shoulders close together in plank position, each man puts their right hand on the shoulder of the man next to him. Together, the group does a “one-handed” push up. Either the man depends on the man next to him, or helps the man next to him. After 5 pushups, the group switches hands. This is to be a lesson to us all. When we are strong, we are so to help the man next to us. When we are weak, we can depend on the man next to us.
COT
Lots of warm words from the PAX for my final Q. You all have meant the world to me over the last year, and my life will be forever better because of you all.
Moleskine:
“Lucky he’s not making us do Bilbo TeaBaggins” – Amnesty after the Circle of man
“This is Bullshit” – Amnesty after every workout with Burpees or Bear Crawls. Thanks for that.
We will miss your beatdowns too brother!
