Fortunately, at approximately 5:29, the parking lights came on!<\/p>\n<p>Mission Statement for F3 recited.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Warm-o-Rama<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are five core principles that govern all F3 workouts. The order in which they are stated is important, so the Pax were quizzed.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, right out the box \u2013 the first wrong answer was given.

Find a medium rock that will have limited running, but high number of reps.<\/p>\n<p>Mosey to front of elementary school for further instructions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pax was instructed that they would be listening to 12 different songs. Each song was no longer than 3 minutes. Once the first song began, they would perform 25 reps of the called exercise. After reps done, put down rock and run around the traffic circle in front of the elementary school. If the same song was still playing, perform 25 reps of the same exercise, then put down rock and run another lap around traffic circle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At each song transition, the exercise would also change. Continue this pattern until all 12 songs and the corresponding 12 exercises were complete.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The songs, and exercises (all with rock, all single count) were:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ramblin\u2019 Gamblin\u2019 Man \u2013 Bob Seger \u2013 CURLS<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t Hardly Wait \u2013 The Replacements \u2013 OVERHEAD PRESS<\/p>\n<p>Everday People \u2013 Sly &amp; The Family Stone \u2013 BENT OVER ROWS<\/p>\n<p>The Seeker \u2013 The Who \u2013 LBCs<\/p>\n<p>Signed, Sealed, Delivered \u2013 Stevie Wonder \u2013 SKULL CRUSHERS<\/p>\n<p>Freedom at 21 \u2013 Jack White \u2013 CHEST PRESS<\/p>\n<p>Nothing \u2013 Uncle Tupelo \u2013 FRONT ARM RAISES (Drip, these were not another set of curls\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>I Can\u2019t Stand Up for Falling Down \u2013 Elvis Costello &amp; The Attractions \u2013 SQUATS<\/p>\n<p>Waiting Room \u2013 Fugazi \u2013 AMERICAN HAMMER<\/p>\n<p>Slack Motherfucker \u2013 Superchunk \u2013 HALO<\/p>\n<p>Outtasite (Outa Mind) \u2013 Wilco \u2013 CALF RAISES<\/p>\n<p>Laid \u2013 James \u2013 BUS DRIVERS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Return rocks to rock pile and return to parking lot.
