YHC was serving as Senior Patrol Leader today. As with F3, Scouts is a volunteer organization. Specifically, Boy Scouts is led by youth, giving them their first taste at organization, service, leadership, and sometimes humility. Today was a lesson in all four for YHC. It felt like herding cats to get the group to start moving, not unlike any Scouting activity. Trouble was finding four volunteers to serve as Patrol Leaders.

F3 Scout Week! Today was the beginning of F3 Scout Week. You may be asking what is F3 Scout Week? Well, I am glad you asked! F3 Scout Week was an idea I had while sitting through a scout meeting a few weeks back. If you think about it, F3 and scouting have a lot of shared core principles including duty to God and country, focus on physical fitness, helping others, and brotherhood. [Read More]

Warm-up Side Straddle Hop, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Merkins Fellowship run to the Apex Town Parking Lot. [Read More]

24 PAX came out for this workout that arose for the ashes like the AO’s namesake. Cary’s Spring Days limited access to all the places YHC wanted to use. After the Warm-ups, everything else was an improvisation. We jogged off to our usual warm-up spot which was now named the Purple Parking Lot. Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Beyonce among others started out with us. Unfortunately, the Respects in the group were not impressed.

12 PAX braved the weather for a 2000’s beat-down. Shakira, Lady Gaga, and Beyonce joined us on the trek though they were not favored by the PAX present. Nonetheless, YHC truly enjoys workouts better when the tunes are humming!

We began with a quick run around the parking lot to warm up in front of the senior center. Warm Up SSH Imperial Walkers [Read More]

The week of Smokey continues with the music of the 1970’s. Joining us on this rainy workout were Aerosmith, Kansas, Stevie Wonder, Ram Jam, and many more. The songs inspired both singing (well, you could call it singing) and chanting from the PAX. It was an experience though only 8 of us braved the weather to enjoy it. We started with a brief run to the front circle for warm ups. [Read More]

Here’s some maths knowledge for y’all - and why on Earth we would do anything as stupid (completely, utterly…?) as incorporate a Fibonacci sequence into a workout. For those of you who have been at this awhile, you may have experienced the Nautilus, a workout that starts at the center of something and spirals outward. A nautilus is a natural embodiment of the Golden Ratio, a mathematical expression that refers to the ratio of two addends to their sum and each other.
