At 6 pm, I began the dreaded solo mosey around the WEAG parking lot. For 5 plus years YHC has managed to avoid doing a bootcamp alone. It appeared my luck had ran out……..when Birdman miraculously emerged from the gloom. Here is a brief summary of the workout for your viewing pleasure: Mosey lap around the church then an assortment of warm-up exercises, cadence be damned. Exercise one: Wall work – in honor of DTH: dirty hookups, balls to the wall, hoedowns, chicken peckers, milkers??, hip slappers. Might have missed a few. At the back of the church: muscleman circuit…

I was ready for a potential solo workout this evening as many of our regulars were out of town/busy………But House Party was already warming up the pavement when I arrived. We added a couple college kids, including an FNG. It was time for House and YHC to show these young guns how we roll in F3 RVA. To the back of the church for Warm Up: Side Straddle Hops, Ukranian Soldiers, Helicopters, HR Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Alabama Prom Dates, Freddy Mercuries, Lunge Walks, Mario Jumps, Karaoke, Broad Jumps, Bear CrawlExercise One: Dora with 100 Merkins, 200 Dips, 300 SquatsMosey…

What started as House Party and YHC circling the parking lot, eventually expanded to a group of 6. The wet conditions could not dampen our enthusiasm…………..the following is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure: Warm Up: A variety of standardized warm up exercises, all done in perfect cadence: Side Straddle Hops, Don Quixotes, Ukranian Soldiers, Arm Circles, Merkins, LBC’s, Shoulder Taps, Carolina Dry Docks, Stretching Mosey to the back of the Church for Exercise One: 4 Corners, prostitute styleExercises were Merkins, WW II Sit-ups, Squats, Side Straddle HopsMosey to the sheltered front of the church, then do exercises outside…

Five showed up out of the shadows to take in the (almost) full moon on an event filled Wednesday night at The Crossing. A Children’s Choir performance pulled most of the PAX inside but 2 new FNGs found their way to join in the fun. 5 in the Pax means a little Pentagon work. 1 FNG from the accounting office made me think of compounding interest so that is how we would get rolling…(see below). Warmarama: Mosey around the North Lot. Circle Up for Intro of F3 Core Principles into; SSH, Dead Man Hang, LBCS, Plank Stretches, Merkins. COP #1:…

12 Weary Travelers from around the lands of yonder (even Chester) joined as one to celebrate a VQ 5 months in the making. The PAX embarked on a mosey along the paved paradise to the tune of B.R.I.D.G.E as the Buttkicks, Rosalitas, Imperial S. walke, don quixotes, ankle Grabs and Everything else glistened in the parking lot spotlights. Forever Pax partners were formed as grueling games of Rock Paper Scissors were hit with a sprinkle of Burpees, LBCs and Flutterkicks for added flavor. A quick mosey over to “The Wall” brought an alliterative display of Death-defying and down right dirty…

YHC got lucky and had the opportunity to Q The Crossing with AMAZING weather and an even better group of men. Here’s what went down Mosey through the parking lot and circle up for warmarama. SSH, Arm circles, Copperhead squats, The Opus, Merkins, and WWII’s 1st exercise was catch me if you can. Partner 1 broad jump burpees across the parking lot while partner 2 runs down and back. Keeping the partner theme going, I thought it would be a good idea to do 10 Booyah merkins, alternate wheel burrow across the parking lot, then 10 partner WWII’s, run back…

Seven chiseled warriors entered the arena looking for a fight. They fixed their eyes on the Jester and whooped his @$$ in the following fashion: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey over to the back field Moseyrama lap including lunges, bear crawls, reverse lunges, and karaoke both ways Circle up, Welcome & Disclaimer The usual DTH top to bottom IC Reps COP #1: Mosey out to the grassy knoll TRIPLE CHECK P1 – WWII’s P2 – Leg Raises P3 – Run 50 yards to bottom of hill, Bear crawl 20 yards up steep bottom then run back to switch COP #2: Mosey…

Chaplain warmed us up with a new creation called the double dozen, trust me you had to be there. Nevertheless, it’s one exercise with a 24 count (like I said, you had to be there). This was followed by three trips trips around perimeter of the facility while incorporating Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, wide-arm Merkins, WW-IIs, Heels-To-Heaven, Flutter Kicks, and Baby Crunches. We ended the evening with a Triple Sec of Squats, Crunches, and a 100m run.

With only 2 PAX on hand – it was a great night to try some new routines. The following is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure. Mosey around the church and circle up for warmup: various exercises and we bagged the cadence. Exercise one: Off Campus TourWe made the semi-dangerous sprint across Parham Road. Through the neighborhood stopped at every mailbox for 2 burpees. 2 merkins at every minivan or SUV. On the way back switched to WWII’s and HR merkins. Got some curious glances from the locals. Ran back to WEAG. With 15 minutes left it was experimentation…

Five brothers posted for a DTH beatdown, and that’s what they got. They also all walked away knowing the F3 Mission, Credo, and 5 Core Principles. Cause if ya don’t know it, how ya gonna lead it? The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loops until the PAX caught on that they’d need to tag their Q in order to stop running loops, then Banksy put on the after burners to end it Circled up, Welcome, Disclaimer An extended slow burn of top to bottom IC reps and stretching (cause NTB’s brutal NoToll beatdown still has the Q sore) Conclude with a POP…
