It was a rainy morning in the gloom at Hot for Teacher. 12 PAX showed up expecting to be put through the paces at Camp Frisco…but YHC noted that everyone’s dues were paid in full up to March so a kinder, gentler beatdown was in order. (Camp Frisco motto: “Why breathe boring regular free air when CF can sell you premium air for the same cost plus a minor mark up? [Read More]

POGL maybe, but they really should sweep the parking lots occasionally. YHC thought it was just me, but the PAX complained as well. Enough bitching. Warm-up Mosey to the park, butt kickers, high knees, backwards run. At the parking lot, warm up shoulders and get the heart-rate up a little. Thing 1 Partner catch-me if you can. Two laps around play area with burpees (x5). Two laps around with star jumps (x10). [Read More]

Everyone likes Creedence, way better than the Eagles. . . and apparently F3 stops the rain, at least in the POGL we do! It poured all night but not a drop fell on us while we worked out or during COT. Friday will be my 1 year F3 anniversary, this will suffice as my 1 year celebration Q. It’s been a privilege to get to know so many of you and I am a stronger man physically, spiritually, and emotionally because of it. [Read More]

YHC fiiiinally getting his first taste of a HFT Q! 18 other pax joined, 2 without sleeves. We heard the disclaimer, pledged our allegiance, ran to warm up, ran to the daycare and partnered up and got a demo of our first exercise, the toddler squat P1 run to bottom of the hill for 5 burpees P2 stay and to AMRAP overhead claps P1 + P2 do 10 Toddler Squats [Read More]

Last night, YHC went to bed and told the Mrs. that he would not be working out. It was our anniversary on Wednesday after all. “Nope. I’m going to sleep in,” I said. Unless I was so excited and couldn’t sleep in which case I might go to Insomnia. “But fear not… I will be back by 6. So no worries. Sleep in.” And with that, Tuesday turned into Wednesday and 14 years of marriage came to a close. [Read More]

I wanted to make this one brutal so I scoured through F3 Greenwood’s IronPAX challenges and merged a few of them together to come up with this. While I was at my work/geek convention (i.e. KubeCon) in San Diego I ran through this workout at the hotel with a 30lb kettlebell (the heaviest one they had unfortunately). In short, it sucked, but do-able. So I grabbed all of the cinder blocks and two spare KB from Hell’s Bells the night before. [Read More]

This was just the most interesting picture of Miss Dora I found on the Googles. 23 PAX showed up on a brisk Monday morning to shake off the rust from the weekend and perhaps sweat out a few toxins. YHC, along with Two Factor and Sooey, took a little 2 mile EC jaunt prior to the ME. No FNGs, somewhat of a disclaimer and mission statement, recited the pledge and we were off. [Read More]

… at least that’s the joke around our house lately. Our downstairs furnace hasn’t worked in almost two weeks, as some of you have heard me ‘vent’. The first replacement part didn’t arrive for a week, then they installed it wrong and it failed within a few hours. Now we’re waiting for a replacement for the part and the installer! I’m trying to be nice, but the M lost patience long ago. [Read More]
