#CountORama

18 PAX > 1 – FNG > 1 – DownRange

#NameORama

#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.
  • 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

  • We did some real burn work on the calf muscles today #OverlookedRoutine> Never too many Merkins and Burpees.
  • Looking Ahead…

      • Why: #CSAUP Races are signature events for the F3 Nation.

    • GROW-RUK 03> Duggar gave us the update on this event. New Orleans in June. I’ll put together a better write-up on this for the next BB
    • @F3_250. A reminder today to challenge the PAX (#YouAgainstYou) to make a personal commitment to working out 250 times in 2017. F3 workouts count, as well as any 30+ minutes exercise sessioin you complete (yes, even with your M if you can last that long!?!). Time for YOU to step up for your own @F3_250 #accountability
      • Check the F3 Houston Google Sheet to track your progress.
      • Tweet your weekly workout count to @F3_250 with the hashtag #F3TwoFiddy every Saturday to log on a national level.
    • 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.
    • Thank You> As usual this old man is honored to lead this great group of men. AYE>
