10 MORE reasons to try out F3 this Saturday
1)
Fitness level and age do not preclude your participation: Exercises are scalable and modifications exist for just about every exercise. Everyone’s level of fitness is different and the guys that are very strong/fast at one thing are weaker in other areas. No one is made to feel like the weak link and no man is left behind. A 40 year age range is not unusual at an F3 workout.
2)
Variety of Workout styles. Most workouts are of the boot camp type, but Running only, No Running, Kettlebell and hard-core Weighted Backpack workouts exist as well. All it takes is a handful of guys that want a particular workout that are willing to take turns leading it.
3)
EVERY workout is different. The person leading the workout determines the exercises, the reps, and the sets. The workout leader rotates throughout the membership, so you never get the same workout twice. It’s the cure for workout boredom.
4)
You can get an F3 workout even when traveling. F3 is currently in about 14 states and you can post for a workout at any location. Find a location/time to your liking and just show up.
5)
Networking options are endless. I have met at least 200 men all over my city and state that I am on a first name basis with. Many are bankers, landscapers, doctors, mechanics, contractors, you name it. The list is endless. I have had occasion to do business with a couple and had a terrific experience each time. Who needs Angie’s List.
6)
Your wife/girlfriend doesn’t need to feel left out. There is a female equivalent to F3. It was started by the girlfriends and wives of several F3 men. It is called FIA (Females in Action) and generally expands to cities where F3 already is. After your lady sees the benefits you get from F3, she may want to help start a FIA group.
7)
A good excuse to buy new threads. Within a month of starting F3, my pants fit looser in the waist and my shirts fit tighter in the arms and shoulders. That was after having ‘gone to a gym’ for literally 25 years non-stop. I had plateaued at the gym, but the variety and change of pace of F3 broke through it.
8 )
Could you use a hundred new friends/mentors? You will meet men from one end of Jacksonville to the other. Men you would not have met otherwise. You will find fellow school alums, guys from your hometown/neighborhood, and guys that have already done something you always wanted to do.
9)
A support group for when ’it’ hits the fan. We all face hardships from time to time. But whatever it is that you are dealing with, chances are someone in your F3 region has faced it. A sympathetic ear and sound advice from someone who has ‘been there’ can sure make things easier.
10) You can say
‘I was there at the beginning’. In the weeks, months and years after the launch, there will be hundreds of men that will post to a workout in Jacksonville, but only the ones that attended the launch will be the true ‘redwoods’.
Over the next six weeks, about a dozen men, including myself and Chaser, will travel hundreds of miles and give up a weekend with their families, to provide launch support for
F3 Jacksonville. They will receive nothing in return except the chance to pay forward the gift that is F3. That is a pretty powerful statement of what it means to them.
