F3 New Orleans

Tag: Walk in the Park

  • Field Trip – from Tinkles

    After the excitement of last weeks Q vs Q the pax showed up expecting another well organized beat down. Much to everyone’s surprise there was no Q. After brief shrugs I was appointed and off we went!

    Warm up in front of Loyola:

    Grass grabbers, imperial walkers, and SSHs complete.

    BLIMPS down the Avenue. A progression of BLIMPS at each cross street to Daneel Park.

    Lovely grass in the park made a great location for burpee and jump squat ring of fire. Voluntary Mary followed.

    Back down St. Charles with run sprint alternating at cross streets. Cross street with a stop light: 5 burpees.

    Bench work at the fountain: advanced wife pleasers (as if!), right and left leg power ups, decline merkins, dips.

    COT: gratitude for great weather, prayers for hurricane victims in FL, thanks for each other!

  • DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT – from Jingle Vader

    IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION FOR THE REGION OF NEW ORLEANS

    F3 NATION, et al.
    Plaintiffs,
    v.

    F3 NOLA, JINGLE VADER (Q), et al.
    Defendants

    Civil Action No. 24-0001

    DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT

    In the matter of F3 NOLA vs. F3 Nation, the defendants, hereafter referred to as F3 NOLA, hereby move for dismissal of the charges brought forth by F3 Nation. The allegations assert that individuals participating in workouts at Wolfpack Mountain fail to produce a summary of their activities, commonly referred to as a “Backblast.”

    I. Grounds for Dismissal:

    1. The defendants plead that their reluctance to provide a Backblast is rooted in their status as Luddites, demonstrating an aversion to modern technological practices.

    2. F3 NOLA asserts that their indifference extends beyond matters unrelated to Uptown New Orleans, rendering the requirement for a Backblast irrelevant to their operational ethos.

    3. The defendants argue that the language employed in workouts is often unsuitable for a professional environment, thus justifying their refusal to produce such documentation.

    4. F3 NOLA contends that the imposition of Backblasts may inadvertently subject them to unwarranted scrutiny regarding allegations of child abuse, posing a potential risk to their reputation.

    5. The defendants maintain that their objection to Backblasts is grounded in their general aversion to being directed or supervised, asserting their autonomy in matters related to workout documentation.

    In light of the aforementioned grounds, F3 NOLA respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant the motion to dismiss, thereby absolving them of the charges brought forth by F3 Nation and allowing them to focus on Side Straddle Hops, Low Slow Squats, Burpees, Hillbillies, Blimp Ladders, Dora and Mary (which includes Twisties).

  • Coin Flip – from Tinkles

    First Q of the year so I’ll try a backblast! Hoping it sticks!

    Looking for something a little different we tried a coin flip beat down. Heads = an exercise, Tails = an exercise. If head or tails is hit two times in a row, that exercise is retired and replaced with a new one. The concept has potential.

    Warm up: standard items.

    We started out with heads = burpees, tails = long running loop. First two flips were heads and burpees were dropped for squats. Everyone recalled the probability word problem from 5th grade and deduced this had a 1/8 chance of happening. The 4th heads in a row at a chance of 1/16 did not happen. The whole workout:

    10 burpees
    10 burpees
    30 squats
    Long loop
    30 squats
    30 squats
    Long loop
    15 jump squats
    Long loop
    Long loop
    15 jump squats
    Short loop
    15 jump squats
    15 jump squats
    Short loop
    30 Ukraines

    30 Ukraines

    Back to flag for announcements and intentions.
