H-Town’s very own Brexit (VQ)

by | Mar 14, 2017 | Houston, The Hogg

9 PAX posted at 0600 #TheHogg for a wet and slippery beatdown for #Brexit VQ. Was made clear any jokes made at her majesty’s expense were worth 10 merkins as punishment!

 

#Disclaimer
  • YHC is not a professional instructor. F3 workouts are voluntarily and free of charge. Modify exercises if you need to. The goal is to push yourself, but don’t hurt yourself. #YouAgainstYou  Notify the Q of any serious medical conditions. Lets do this..

#NameORama
  • No FNGs. Let’s keep #EHing and keep growing The Hogg.  Impressive number going on to Double down at 0700 with Cruiser
#BoM (Ball of Man)
  • Circle of Trust, Ball of Man and Thoughts and Prayers. Every F3 Workout ends with a COT, wherein the PAX form a circle to conduct Counterama, Namerama, Announcearama and the Ball Of Man. During the BOM, the PAX are encouraged to offer TAPs, which is followed by a closing prayer to take us out. The COT, and all it encompasses, are a Core Principle of F3. TAPs were offered for:
    • Hope cruisers shoulders get better soon
    • VQ Brexit going to be a Dad to an american citizen #PollutingTheBloodline
    • A second shout-out at the 07h WO to Brexit’s future 2.0 – #CheersMate !!
  • Beta lead us out.  T’Claps brother.
  • As a reminder, the #3rdF pulpit is open to any Pax member. You are all #freedtolead, and every leader needs to find his “voice” among other men. Offering TAPs is a great way to do that.
#NakedManMoleskin
  • T’claps to the 7 PAX who braved the #DoubleDown and posted for Cruiser’s 0700 #BeatDown while being soaking wet

    • Why: #CSAUP Races are signature events for the F3 Nation. The Spartan Race is a excellent chance to test your Fitness, growth in Fellowship and deepen your Faith (believe me, you will be praying during the race…) Ask any Pax who has done one, and they will tell you that #CSAUP events are their favorite F3 activity!!! #seeforyourself
  • F3 COMZ. Because we are only working out together 3-4 hours a week, communication between the Pax is a key way to build our Fellowship as a group. #CommunicationIsKey There are multiple ways to stay in touch:
  • Twitter. YHC highly encourages the PAX to get on Twitter. It’s not a scary as it sounds, and it’s a great source of real-time updates, #MumbleChatter and hilarious (and occassionally horrifying!?!) images from the PAX. If YHC can do it, then trust me that anyone can. Suggested Twitter handle: @F3[F3name].
  • f3nation.com. This is the key resource for all things F3, but especially for the Backblasts, a written account of a Workout or Event that the Q Posts to a public forum. You can find the #BBs for F3 HOU here:  http://f3nation.com/locations/houston-tx/
  • Facebook. F3 Houston has both public and private pages (Duggar can get you access to the latter). It is a great place to look at pics and videos from our workouts.
  • Word of the Day (WOD): BREXIT – The United Kingdoms withdrawal from the European Union following referendum 23rd June 2016
Thank you for allowing a Brit to lead you!
Brexit!
