F3 has recently been on the front page of the NY Times! I’ve seen several back-and-forth comments on Twitter between F3 supporters and those who think of us as some kind of weirdo cult. The F3 supporters have explained why we do F3. I thought I would add my own thoughts, which I have not seen previously expressed. We practice essential life skills.

YHC reviewed the rules and reminded the PAX of x3 Merkins per turnover for those guys involved, and x3 Burpees for the…
