Ten enthusiastic and insightful human beings gathered in the post-broga gloom for this week’s edition of First Watch SZN of Giving. After some debate on whether or not Gomer was early or late, Handshake rolled in and off we went, determining that only our guest would be late today. Short mosey over to the not dry patio for: COP 10x Helicopters – choose your own direction 10x Don Quixotes – apparently too fast at first, but just slow enough to greet our guest 25x SSHs – to perfection 10x Mountain Climbers – with no comments 10x Inverted Scorpion Kicks -…

11 warriors of the gloom emerged for this week’s installment of First Watch. Hutton had some solo yoga/nap/merkinfest prior and came ready to roll! Over to the small triangle park and get wet early in the leaves for COP. Mobile workout the whole way down to Westham Station and back up the hill with an assortment of crowd pleasers throughout. We finished with a mary ring of fire. YHC took us out. Coffee is always a fine way to start any day, but especially Wednesday with this crew!

A generational blend of X’s and Z’s ventured onto the First Watch campus for a beatdown mixed with movie quotes, spring break destinations and other quality conversation gems that will remain discreet and anonymous. Here is how things went down. 5.30 strikes, lets mosey. Handshake coming in hot, let us circle back to collect. Down the dark path to the church parking lot, honoring various burpee traditions. Mosey around to the front of the church for introductions and disclaimers. Warm ups were in cadence and conversation with a few Dead Man Hangs, Invisible Jump Rope, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats, Merkins…

This morning, we ventured into the dark and twisted heart of the First Watch—the infamous Satan’s Taint, a desolate stretch that dead-ends in the ominously named Satan’s Butthole. Spirits were high, and headlamps (at least mine) were on, as we descended into this unknown territory. The Warmup We jogged down to the taint, did a few warmup exercises, and braced ourselves for what was next. The Main Event Our main workout was a mailbox interval special: two mailboxes forward, one mailbox back, with each PAX cycling through ab, leg, and upper body exercises. But somewhere along the way, we noticed…

Six strong and one weak teamed up for the 5th anniversary of First Watch and YHC’s 7th F3 anniversary. After Last Call was left scratching his head on who the Q was, this is what happened: Mosey to the patio in front of the church for: COP: Dead Man Hang, Reach for the Sky, DQ’s, Helicopters, Jazzercises, LBC’s, Suzanne Somers Left, Flutter Kicks, Suzanne Somers Right, Alabama Prom Dates, Plank up for a couple minutes while YHC attempts to tell an abbreviated history of First Watch. Staying in plank position, YHC tosses the potato to Honeydo who graciously has the…

The Q sheet has been sitting somewhat empty in Westhoe over the last couple of weeks so YHC has been jumping in to fill the sheet as needed. Yesterday it was the Site Q/Weaselshaker at Heartbreark and today it was 1st F/Weaselshaker at First Watch. 0500 YHC launches us and we mosey down the hill. Flip Flip COP perfectly choreographed. Hutton Q – Mosey over to a hill for a Triple Check. P1 runs up the hill to the street sign and back. Partner 2 does Merkins and Partner 3 does squats. Handshake Q – Mosey up the hill to…

8 men gathered all wondering who was going to be the Q. YHC spoke up and said we’d do a Hawt Potato and YHC would start off…. Mosey to the top of the Triangle for a COP. The Pax was mocking YHC for the Swedish Chef counting routine so YHC decided to keep the Q. After the COP we moseyed down to the bottom of the hill for a Triple Check. P1 runs, P2 HRM’s, P3 WWII’s. Mosey over to the bottom of the hill. YHC did a freestyle riff of an Arch Loader. We did various exercises to make…
