To the first F3 Jedi class of The Earl, honor is bestowed. Here is what went down on the Circle Planet this day. Two of our Padawans had their eyes on the Dark Side early and were nearly disqualified for tardiness but penalty burpees, training mastery and use of THE FORCE prevented expulsion.

Although not a Jedi, Hans Solo HIIT, is a core conditioning Jedi exercise.
Hans was known for his record setting travel thru the smuggling corridor, known as the Kessel Run. He also was quick to run into areas of trouble without clearly understanding the odds. We salute Hans with a 3 minute HIIT (20 sec ON, 10 sec OFF, 6 rounds)

During the routine, Young Jedi Duplo demonstrated effective use of THE FORCE to cut out the 9:36 and 10:40 reps; thus salvaging his graduation to Jedi.

Jedis circled up for a Mary Ring of Fire

COT
The light side of the Force was the facet aligned with compassion, selflessness, self-knowledge and enlightenment, healing, mercy and benevolence, while the dark side of the Force was aligned with hatred, fear, covetousness, anger, aggression, jealousy and malevolence. F3 men lead with the light side of the Force. Master Yoda also warns “When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.” Be careful out there Jedis.

Until next time in the gloom, May the 4th be with you.

EC – Montecristo and Quint had collected 36 burpees in the ME and executed 14 more to supplement the May burpee count.
