A game of giant Jenga
Have you ever been to a bar and saw a giant Jenga set? Yeah I haven’t either. One time when I wasn’t at a bar, I certainly didn’t have a thought that it would be fun to play Jenga at an F3 workout. We’ll blame this workout and the concept on the alcohol.
12 dudes came out for a fun time playing Jenga. It went a little something like this.
Warmup-
- Mosey around the parking lot. After the mosey, Hairband asked if I was feeling OK. Apparently the mosey was longer than expected. Not sorry.
- SSH in cadence x 20
- Empirical Walkers. Yes I screwed up calling Imperial Walkers and put an extra C in it. There’s a “that what she said” moment. I’m going to stop calling these damn things since I’m always mispronouncing it. Anyway we did 15 in cadence
- Mountain climbers in cadence x 15
- Arm circles on your own to get the blood flowing
Mosey over to the picnic pavilion.

FYI there are 54 blocks in a Jenga set. This makes the math easy. I numbered the blocks 1-9 with different exercises for each one. I went for a full body beat down. 1-3 were arms/chest 4-6 were abs and 7-9 were legs. The order we went in, is the order people pulled in the parking lot.
| 1 | 10 WORST Merkins.(1 Wide + 1 Regular + 1 Diamond = 1) Hold plank until next piece is pulled |
| 2 | 30 Carolina Dry Docks. Hold half push up until next piece is pulled |
| 3 | Bear Crawl around BOTH sets of stairs. Hold squat |
| 4 | 20 WWII situps. Hold American Hammer position (only thing touching ground is your six) until next piece |
| 5 | 30 heels to the heavens. Hold feet 6″ off the ground until next piece |
| SIX | 25 Reverse crunch (bring knees to chest). Roll to stomach and hold low plank (elbows & toes) |
| 7 | 20 lunges (10R + 10L). Calf raises until next piece |
| 8 | 25 JUMP ups (low or high step). Squat hold until next piece |
| 9 | All you got sprint to Carolina Courts and back. Wall sit until next piece |
There was a penalty for the person who made the tower fall. We didn’t stop for Mary since she was already part of the workout.

Moleskine –
- Thanks to Hair Band for taking us out.
- Turnpike was tired of playing the game so he just pushed the stack over. The penalty was 30 burpees, but since he is on the
mentallydisabled list. It was nice to rest a little while we reset the tower for round 2. - It’s good it didn’t fall a second time. The punishment would have been a group punishment that would have been terrible. This will be the first punishment if I do this kind of workout again
- Very little mumble chatter this morning. I don’t know if it was the PAX that are typically on the quieter side or if the workout was too hard to talk.
- Thanks for the opportunity to lead
- Speaking of leading, if you’ve read this far then the next step would be to sign up to lead your own workout.
