Introduction
Santa’s “not-so-little” Helper: Impossible Burger celebrated his 50th post with a VO Holiday Beatdown. 23 PAX including 1 FNG joined together in the gloom to spread a little Holiday cheer. Throughout the AO, Santa left a number of Holiday Stockings filled with presents “Holly Jolly Exercises” spelled out on 2 Lists. The NAUGHTY list and the NICE list. 1 PAX member was chosen at random to flip the lucky Christmas coin to decide their fate.
Warm-O-Rama
And with the first flip of the lucky Christmas coin the PAX realized they had been on the Naughty list. So Santa’s “little” Helper dished out the Warm-o-Rama.
25 Side Straddle Hops
Mosey around the Parking Lot
25 Goof Balls
25 Imperial Walkers
15 Abe Vigodas
In case you were wondering what was on the NICE list (Arm Circles, Tappy Taps, Finkle Swings, Good Mornings)
Once Warm-o-Rama was complete the PAX set off to find the next Holiday Stocking for Dr. Seuss’s Thing #1
The Thang
Thing or Thang 1 took place at the Beach Volley Ball court where the PAX were asked to partner in 2’s for Dora Style workout. 1 Pax would complete a 50 yard dash across the Sandy field, while their partner would complete the exercises from the appropriate list in the Holiday Stocking. Another PAX was chosen at random to flip the lucky Christmas coin only to find out they all were still on the Naughty list. So Santa’s “little” Helper dished out their OYO beat down
50 Burpee’s
50 Hand Release Merkins
50 Big Boy Sit-ups
50 Turkish Get-ups
In case you were wondering what was on the NICE list (Air Squats, Merkin’s, LBC’s & Lunges)
Once Thang 1 was complete the PAX set off to find the next Holiday Stocking for Dr. Seuss’s Thing #2
Thing or Thang 2 took place at the Hill where the PAX were asked to choose a new partner for another Dora Style workout. This time 1 Pax would run up and down the hill, while their partner would complete the exercises from the appropriate list in the Holiday Stocking. Another PAX was chosen at random to flip the lucky Christmas coin to find out they made it to the NICE list. So Santa’s “little” Helper dished out their OYO beat down
50 Side Straddle Hops
50 Monkey Humpers
50 Alternating Side Squats (2ct Cadence)
50 Flutter Kicks (4ct Cadence)
In case you were wondering what was on the Naughty list (Motivators from 10, Cut-a-flip by 5’s, Bobby Hurley’s and Bonny Blairs)
Once Thang 2 was complete the PAX set off to find the next Holiday Stocking for Dr. Seuss’s Thing #3
Thing or Thang 3 took place at the parking lot near the Flags where the PAX were asked to choose a new partner for their final Dora Style workout. This time 1 Pax would complete a run across the parking lot, while their partner would complete the exercises from the appropriate list in the Holiday Stocking. Another PAX was chosen at random to flip the lucky Christmas coin to find out they where back on the Naughty list. So not only did that mean Santa’s “little” Helper would dish out another Naughty beatdown, but that the PAX would now have to carry their coupons whenever running across the lot
50 Blockee’s
50 Elf on the Shelf
50 Rocky Balboa’s (2ct Cadence)
50 Squat Thrusters
In case you were wondering what was on the NICE list (Chest Presses, Arm Curls, Press Ups, Squats)
Once the PAX completed Thing 1, Thing 2 & Thing 3- then we said goodbye to the Cat-in-the-Hat and circled up up at the Flags for MARY.
One final flip of the lucky Christmas coin, resulted in a final placement on the NICE list. They processed to drop to their 6’s for 50 LBC’s and a flip over to their 12’s for 50 Swimmers until the time struck 7am
Circle of Trust
Dear Lord- Thank you for all that you have given us. To have the ABILITY to be good Men, Husband’s, Father’s, Friend and Leaders. We are so thankful for the opportunities you give us each and every day to turn the SUCK into ACCOMPLISHMENT. Please continue to look over all of those people in our lives, in our thoughts and in our prayers, who need your help to overcome their SUCK. Give them the strength, courage and, above all, your Grace to prevail.
In your name we pray – Amen
Naked Man Moleskin
Impossible Burger : Santa’s “little” Helper took a moment to remind the PAX of his 50th post milestone and the correlation to the reps associated within the beat down. He also reflected on his F3 journey from the pre-F3 days when Pork Rinds would give EH reminders almost weekly, to his FNG day and the journey to today. Their was much “Suck” one has to overcome to join everyone ITG. The suck of deciding to join, the suck of HC’ing, the suck of getting out of your warm bed, the suck of working out in the wet and the cold. But then you realize you have the ABILITY to do whatever you set your mind to do. And with that ABILITY you can overturn the SUCK into ACCOMPLISHMENT and that is something to be proud of. So everyday when you think about that next SUCK your going to face, know that you have the ABILITY to overcome that and look forward to the joy you will feel once you’ve ACCOMPLISHED it.
Your workout is now over and so go enjoy the rest of your day and have an extra cookie, you’ve earned it.
