WARM UP
10 reps each of: side shuffle hop, imperial walker, windmill, slow merkins, mountain climbers, slow squats, and arm circles

MAIN EVENT
The Pax escaped the rain by moseying beneath the covered awning in front of the school. Here YHC broke out the official F3 deck of cards and explained the rules of F3 War:
– The Pax were split into two teams
– One Pax from each team drew a card then led his team through the reps and exercise of the card (the Pax with the higher card took both cards back to his team's pile)
– If both Pax drew the same card then war ensued and all the Pax would complete the number of burpees corresponding to the cards which sparked the war (this never happened during this workout)

A few observations:
– The team card piles ended up very lopsided with one team finding all manner of ways to lose (even when it drew a king, the other team drew an ace)
– One team managed to pull all four aces (100 reps each) and the majority of the cardio cards (along with the dreaded queen of burpees)
– The other team seemed to pull all the merkin and ab cards (including all the exercises which required a bench or step)

COT
Prayers for the friends and family of Soda's friend (recently died from cancer) and Shake It's student, (whose dad recently died)

During the month of October, we are partnering with F3 Suncoast (Sarasota) and F3 Island Coast (Fort Myers) to raise funds for two food banks which are feeding and supporting Hurricane Ian victims:

Our goal is based on Pax participation not dollar amount. So even a $5 or $10 gift matters and makes an impact. Please consider making a donation if you are able.
