Our annual F3 FoCo March Madness beatdown, where we decide which of our favorite exercises will be crowned champion for the past year! It’s a tradition YHC has held for 5 years now, and is one the PAX always look forward to, AND we get to see if we are one step closer in skills to fielding a basketball team… spoiler alert, we are not.

WARMUP:
– Little mosey around the courts
– SSH x10 IC
– Sun Gods x10 IC, fwd/rev
– Across the court: high knees, butt kickers, side shuffles, Frankenstein walk
– Layup line – our first skills test!

THE THANG:
16 exercises were laid out in a 16-team March Madness style bracket. The seed indicates the number of reps of that exercise. After a game was played (i.e. both exercises performed by all PAX), 3 teams (of 4 PAX each) took turn rotating shooting a free throw each game. If ANYONE on the team made it, the higher seed wins and moves on to the next round, else the lower seed moves on…. There were a lot of upsets.

While waiting for free throws, the PAX held Al Gore, plank, or did SSH.

After the first round of games, the PAX did a suicide run on the b-ball court, with increasing reps of SSH at each trip to the baseline. After the 2nd round of games, repeated suicides but with increasing reps of Bobby Hurley’s at the baseline.

And the winner this year… MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS! Repeat champs!!!

2026 – Mountain climbers
2025 – Mountain climbers
2024 – 100m sprint
