CONDITIONS

> 33 degree’s and chilly caused some limited chatter to start the morning. Everyone was early and we all appreciated getting moving to warm up.

Warm Up (Circle of Pain)

The Thang

> Deck of death

• Hearts – Real Peter Parkers
• Diamonds – Hindi Squats
• Clubs – American Hammers
• Spades – lunges….oh those lunges
• Jokers – gorilla walk/bear crawl around the sign and back

DoD gave us a unique opportunity for the entire PAX to practice calling an exercise. Each person called the exercise of the card they drew.

6MOM

> Notes from Q1.2 – King

• To be effective in our lives, we must keep our body upright.
• How can the sould prosper if the body withers?
• It’s made to be used, and the more its used the more prepared it is.
• Exercise is King and nutrition is Queen – put them together and you’ve got a kingdom. (good add by Angus that you can’t out King your Queen – no amount of exercise trumps a poor diet)
• The Jester is necessary to think about because even the most amusing distractions can topple a kingdom.
• We don’t exercise to get better at exercising, we do it to be prepared mentally, physically, and emotionally.
• For me, this was the goal of 2020. I’d spent a few years working towards physical goals – a target weight, an ability to lift a certain amount, etc and hit hitting them but 2020 was about exercising for mental health and bringing the best me to bear each week. For me this takes 3-4 workouts a week.
• This is helpful weekly, but it’s also a longterm investment.
• F3 breaks these pursuits down into something called 3S2T – strength, stamina, speed, mental Toughness and physical Toughness. These are the things we’re trying to accelerate.
• 3S2T is best accelerated by running with other men.
• We all have to find what works for us – age, physical history and injuries may impact what our best can be. But what is true for all me is that it works much better as a group than solo.
• Together, we sharped each other. And it’s kind of simple – to get faster, find someone else faster than you and chase them until you catch them.

CoT – Thanks for sharpening me and letting me chase you, and for providing me an opportunity to let you chase as well.
