Hills, Benches and Rocks - Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Posted on April 9, 2018 | 4 minutes | 673 words |

After a week of vacation in the mountains YHC was anxious to jump back into F3 this week! Since I was a bit out of shape from too much beer and pizza I invited (guilted) Crimson into co-Q’ing with me this fine Monday. Last night as we were planning our co-Q my M gave me some funny looks as we discussed “Dora” and “Mary” but I digress. A cool, crisp “spring” morning greeted 12 PAX at Apex Community Park.

Posted on April 2, 2018 | 2 minutes | 406 words |

A great morning for a special Good Friday workout at Dante’s! After some early morning recon (the soccer fields are OPEN) and some EC with Disco Duck, we gather around the flag for a pledge and then a mosey up the hill to the right. YHC mixed in butt kickers, high knees, backwards runs, and even some bear crawling. We make it to the basketball court and circle up for: [Read More]

Kettlebell Clock of Pain

Posted on April 2, 2018 | 2 minutes | 248 words |

Well, appears something going on with the fields and the regular spot that we normally meet because the gate in is locked. We decide to head to the nature park up the street because for some reason that gate is open. Gather the HIM and head over, parking in the very back near the shelter. Hop out and see this great circle that just shouts for some sort of pain. First-up though, we need to mosey to the front of the parking area for: [Read More]

Keep Pushing

I don’t know what’s going on with the weather this week. It’s spring, but it’s snowing. The weatherman says it’s one temperature, the thermometer in my car says it’s another temperature, and while I’m standing there waiting for the clock to tick 5:45 it feels colder than either of them. One FNG, disclaimer is given, let’s get the blood moving and warm these boys up. Warm-Up Mosey over to the end of the parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops, imperial walkers, Sir Fazios both ways, plank jacks and merkins (morning, Ma Bell! [Read More]

Breaking the Rules

Posted on March 20, 2018 | 2 minutes | 416 words |

At 05:28, YHC and the site-Qs were standing there wondering if the running of Tobacco Road yesterday was going to cause an extremely low turnout for Apex’s Premier Kettlebell workout (on Mondays at 5:30). When the clock ticks 5:29, what do we see but the Ma Bell chariot coming in hot, with Goose as the co-pilot. One minute later, off we go. Warm Up Mosey to the end of the drive, so anyone going past can question our sanity. [Read More]

March Madness

Posted on March 1, 2018 | 3 minutes | 497 words |

Apparently it’s March already. February, you always cheat me out of 2-3 days. So time to get those NCAA pools going. But before that starts, let’s celebrate in the rainy gloom at Hunter Street Park. PERFECT weather. Warm Up JigglyPuff posts the flag, and we start with the Pledge of Allegiance. Mosey to a suitable parking lot for some warm up. Along the way we get in some butt-kickers, high knees, and side shuffles. [Read More]

Burpees around the world with bear crawls in between!

Posted on February 28, 2018 | 3 minutes | 509 words |

Woke up not expecting 46° after all the previous warm weather. Although, it was a beautiful morning to work the body, mind, and spirit. YHC/QIC did not write down what the workout regimen was going to be but he did have an idea that he contemplated over several days leading up to his Q… the goal was to put the HIMs to the test and to keep everyone as a group (so to speak).
