    Time to lose the COVID-15.

    5:30 AM isn't really my cup of tea, but I'll get over it.

    F3 Nation, or F3, is a network of free, peer-led workouts for men in the United States with an estimated 40,000+ active participants. These participants can be found at approximately 2,600 workout locations in 39 different states.[1]

    The F3 name is an initialism, which stands for fitness, fellowship and faith, referring to the group's three organizing principles.[2]

    F3 has 5 "Core Principles" for their workouts.[3]

    1. Be free of charge.
    2. Be open to all men.
    3. Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold.
    4. Be led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary.
    5. End with a Circle of Trust.
    F3 is affiliated with FiA, or Females in Action, a network of free, peer-led workouts for women.[4]

    Each man participating in an F3 workout is assigned a nickname which he'll use during subsequent workouts.[5]

    F3 began in 2011, in North Carolina, when two friends in Charlotte started a boot camp style workout for men.[6]

    F3 participants apply a distinctive lexicon of terms during their workouts. For example, an informal group leader is known as a "Nantan," a term adopted from an Apache word meaning chief.[7]

    Not a club. All outside. Various locations such as parks, open spaces, etc.

    Oh, and....

    Whenever I use to see an overweight person jogging down the road I would think there he/she goes jogging and improving their weight and heart while I'm driving this damn car.

    His duty cycle depletes if he's not in tip top shape for his age. Remember three times a week at minimum can add 5 years to one's life. Im working on 15 years right now, at 70.

    A man should never be out of shape.
    There's nothing bad about exercise and only good can come out of exercise. I can speak to how exercise can put you in a good mood 24/7. My doctor once told me that there's no ailment that can't be helped by the appropriate exercise which I believe to be true.

    I use to work out with a guy who was really good with the jump rope. I was very very jealous.
