Exicon

Trying to make sense of the exercises you may hear called at an F3 bootcamp? Need something new for your first or 100th Q? You’ve found the place. (You also may want to consult The Lexicon, at least after your first workout, to make sense of what just happened.)

Drill Instructors

On the Q's command, rapidly transition through any combination of standing ("On your feet!"), holding 6" ("On your six!"), high plank ("On your face!"), and Merkins ("Down/Up"). Speed, order, and duration are completely at the Q's discretion, with the goal being to test the pax's reaction time and/or keep them in an uncomfortable position (esp. 6 inches or down part of Merkin). Inspired by a certain Marine at the Spring 2016 F3 Mud Run and best executed with a gruff, barking orders style. Example: "On your face! On your six! On your face! On your six! On your feet! On your face! Down! Up! Down! Up! Down! [painful delay] Up!"
