01/24/2023 - Swamp - K.E.G. Work Out

Conditions: 35 degrees, brisk 15 mph wind, clear. I’d be lying if I didn’t say we ducked behind buildings to get out of that breeze when possible. 5 Core Principals agreed to and we got on it:

K.E.G. (Krucial Event Guidelines) WORK OUT

As I started this year as the 2nd F guy, I pondered what made previous F3 events successful and came up with 4 simple principals (Krucial Event Guidelines or KEG) that were followed:

• You must be the EVENT Q – one person has to OWN it
• You need WING MEN to help you – great events always have lots of help
• Plan & Broadcast at least ONE MONTH OUT – a little planning goes a long way
• You need to make PERSONAL INVITES – the old reliable one-to-one

With these in mind, I created the Thang to focus on each one.

WARM UP – Casey Kasums, Huggy Bears, Seal Claps, Shoulder Shrugs, Abe Vigodas, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, SSH

MOSEY TO FLAG POLE

• 1st KEG: You are the EVENT Q. You need to own it – just like if you were Q-ing a workout where you’d be responsible for set up, coupons, Warmup, etc, as the Event Q, it’s all you from start to finish.

5 Burpees/10 Box Cutters/15 LBCs/10 Box Cutters/5 Burpees

MOSEY TO STREET LIGHTS

• 2nd KEG: Have at least one or 2 WING MEN. Life is not a solo sport. Pair up for the following:

Wheel Barrow to 1st pole – Merkins

Wheel Barrow to 2^nd pole – Half Supermans

Mosey back to Pavilion – Plankjacks

Your WING MEN are guys that will want to help; allow them to. Sharing burdens IS leadership, it helps others grow. In Matthew 11:28-30, there’s discussions of being ‘weary and burdened’, but read more closely. Who is saying ‘take my yolk’? Who says ‘learn from me’? For those up on the Lexicon, it’s the Sky Q!

²⁸ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

MOSEY TO PAVILION

• 3rd KEG: Publicize it at least ONE MONTH out. Allow time for folks to schedule it in and time for you to advertise and promote

31 Step-ups/31 Dips/31 Heal raises

MOSEY TO FLAG POLE

• 4th KEG: Finally, PERSONAL INVITES – we need to do things the old-fashioned way, and have your wing men do the same

Men who posted also received the first edition of the 2nd F Event Calendar. Let’s get them on our fridges and into our neighbors hands. In very WING MAN type fashion, Slice mentioned he was heading out to Fleetwood tomorrow morning so he grabbed a few copies of the calendar to hand out there. This is not to say it’s the only way to create an event. However, it has proven to be very successful. Fellowship can only make us stronger!
