It was a balmy 47% degrees this morning. No need to for a winter hat. YHC disclosed the PAX and told them they know who we are and not to get hurt. Modify as needed! The opening thought was that getting new guys to a workout is usually not a problem, the challenge we’ve been speaking about as an F3 leadership team is how to get guys to keep coming out. The group consensus was 1 Part MUMBLE CHATTER AND 2nd Part INTENTIONAL ENERGY. That said, workouts need conversation, purpose and value beyond more burpees and making guys puke. This will require a little more thought to bring these components to our workouts.

The intention of today’s workout is to provide PAX opportunity to Mumble Chatter while getting a great workout. I expected at least 15 minutes of light chatter over the course of a Burpee Mile. Since guys are normally pretty bad at speaking of anything significant to life; I provided categories of conversation. (3 P’s – Problem, Praise, Project). Most of us are masters at small talking sports, weather, or world news. The goal is reaching deeper into the parts of life that we have influence.
Part 1 – Burpee Mile – conversational PAX run .25 mile, stop for 12 burpees all together.
Part 2- Bearpees – Bear crawl 4 steps, stop 1 burpee, repeat across basketball court. Return across basketball court 4 steps, 2 burpees.
Part 3 – Mucho Chesto – Abyss Merkins, Derkins, Urkins military style elbow close to body, Annie floor cleans with a merkin in between.

Giving thanks for the ability to get up early and push ourselves. Praying for some of our PAX struggling with family matters. Praying for co-workers with medical challenges. Praise for Beaker’s son’s marriage out in Michigan coming ups December 16. And the SNAP; which is the re-branding of the Food Stamps program. Special thanks to Mr. Brady for bringing and application so I can help a family member evaluate public benefits that he might qualify. A little mumble chatter goes a long way!
