Get your F3 TX and Big Wheel patches from Britney.  These are great for your rucksack or any Velcro-backed surface you may have lying around.  And just in time for the holidays!  F3 TX = $5/ea.  Big Wheel = $10/ea (to honor our fallen brother, proceeds will go to his wife, Jessica, and family).

If you enjoyed November’s burpee challenge, this should really satisfy your holiday cravings for extra credit!  Seriously, this sounds like a lot, but these are basic exercises anyone can accomplish.  Push yourself!  Don’t fall behind – catching up wasn’t a lot of fun for the burpee challenge.  Aye!
