Kicking off August of the F3 presidential fitness challenge and just about five years ago, I started this crazy F3 journey. It is fun to see how all of us have improved from last years presidential to this year. We have just one day until the trophies and cash money prizes are handed out. 

Warmarama- SSH, WMH, Arm Circles, Michael Phelps, Imperial Walkers, Bushwackers

The thang:

We started off with a one mile timed run. I really stink at running and wanted to quit so many times after seeing how fast the other PAX were running, but I finished and I appreciate their patience as I drug up the caboose.

I explained the presidential fitness challenge to the PAX and then we did the following exercises as one minute max reps and recorded reps from PAX in between the next exercises. 

We finished our run close to the blocks and here are the exercises.

Merkins

Squats

Bent Knee Situps

Sit and Reach (no time)

Blockies

Curls (no time)

Arnolds

Overhead Press

Shuttle Run (ran out of time for this)

Pull-ups- max sets (ran out of time for this)

Mary: Marys were included into the presidential fitness tests.

COT: Prayers for Pink’s request for a PAX running the mountains of Europe. Teachers going back to school. Basketball and beers tonight at Culbreth at 7pm.
