The Thang:
7 HIMs got their first win of the day on the morning of October 12, 2021 at Fred George as QIC led a darts themed workout.
Lord’s Prayer
Name O Rama / Stretching
Warm Up: Brief jog around the lighted area of the parking lot.
QIC brought a magnetic dart board with 22 various prescribed exercises corresponding to each number on the dart board plus the two bullseyes. Each PAX threw three darts and exercises were performed corresponding to each number hit. The PAX throwing the darts called the reps/cadence of each of their three exercises. The first dart/number required 10 reps, the second dart/number required 12 reps, and the third dart/number they hit required 21 reps (corresponding to the date of the workout). After each PAX threw their darts and the exercises were performed by all PAX a “finisher” was chosen by the dart thrower. After the finisher the next PAX/dart thrower took the helm.
Dartboard Numbers and Corresponding Exercises (some with Cindy, some without):
1 Merkins, 2 Sumo Squat, 3 Squat Jumps, 4 Curls, 5 Shoulder Press, 6 Bent Over Rows, 7 Kettlebell Swings, 8 Carolina Dry Docks, 9 American Hammers, 10 Boxcutters, 11 LCRCs, 12 Tricep Merkins, 13 Monkey Humpers, 14 Imperial Walkers, 15 Mountain Climbers, 16 Catchers (half burpee w/no merkin; finish in baseball catcher position), 17 Upright Rows, 18 Triple Bears, 19 Squat Jacks, 20 Burpees, Green Bullseye = Thrusters, Red Bullseye = Blockees.
Finisher Options (to various cones QIC set up around the parking lot for certain exercises):
Walking Lunges, Sprint, Burpee Broad Jumps, Bear Crawl, High Knees (1 Minute), Bonnie Blairs (1 Minute).
Sample round: A PAX threw three darts. Dart one landed on 6, Dart 2 landed on 10, Dart 3 landed on 20. As a result all PAX did 10 reps of bent over rows, 12 reps of boxcutters, and then 21 reps of burpees. Thrower then chose the finisher for everyone.
We made it through one round where each PAX took a turn throwing and choosing a finisher. Since no one ever hit the bullseye(s) and since we had a few minutes left we closed out the workout with a round of Thrusters and Blockees.
COT: QIC shared from 1 Thessalonians 5:11. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.” As men of F3 we know to encourage and build others up– our spouses, our kids, our coworkers, other PAX, etc. However it never hurts to be reminded and challenged to do so on a regular basis. Prayers requested for family members’ surgeries and/or recoveries. We were also reminded to check in on a regular basis on others who may be going through personal struggles.
