Q : Flea

DISCLAIMER: OYO

1st things 1st, donate blood if you can, just do it! The lack of oxygen during a workout is good for you and the need for healthy blood is high! On March 17th it was reported that nearly 2,700 Red Cross blood drives have been canceled in the U.S. Even though the Coronavirus rages, regular accidents and illnesses still occur. It’s up to us HIMs to help!

WARMUP
50 – Side Straddle Hops
25 – Imperial Walkers (4-count)
straight into 25 – Hillbillies (4-count)
Sun God – 10 count: SIDES, FRONT, OVHD
20 – Cherry Pickers

This last one has been bothering me for a while so below is how to correctly perform cherry pickers

Maybe we need distinguishing names. I vote Schoolyard Cherry Pickers and Prison Cherry Pickers, who’s with me!

Moleskin: E-mail coming Soon!

COT: Hopefully you were able to get through at least your names today.

So why did we do it? Why did we spell out our names (birth and F3) in workout form? Impact. If you were able to, why did you spell out your city of residence, either in Monterey or home state (I never specified)? Impact.

The simple fact is we are High Impact Men (HIM). We are “Disrupter(s) who [are] Committed to making forcible contact to strong effect.” We are not alone in this locally, nationally, or globally. Saturday we had a group of people from all over the state and country who are dedicated to making each other and their community better in the best way they know how to. Today, while you were spelling out your name and how F3 defines you, so was at least one other person. I never specified city, because each of us brings something different to the table with our experiences and life-story. Each of us is part of a bigger body, don’t let rough times make you forget that! Aye!

For those who need a little break, here’s another uplifting video I highly recommend. The video is John Krasinski’s new YouTube video series “Some Good News”. It’s awesome and hysterical.
