Q101 Notes

Show up early and be energetic

Set the tone, welcome the PAX, establish your command

Disclaimer: Does have legal significance

Needs to include

I am not a professional

You are participating at your own risk

You are responsible for your own well being

You are here voluntarily and you are not paying to be here

Know your limits and do the best you can

Proper Cadence is:

“The Next Exercise is ___” a clear and concise command

The PAX repeat the exercise name to demonstrate understanding

“Starting Position…Move” Starting Position is the information and Move is the command.

“In Cadence…Exercise” In Cadence is the information and Exercise is the command. 

PAX repeats “In Cadence” to demonstrate understanding. 

“1, 2, 3, “ then the PAX calls rep

Your Cadence must match the called exercise/ body movements

Change your voice inflexion on last rep, which signals to the PAX that we are ending. 

“Recover” at the end of the called exercise. Important command to let everyone know we are finished. 

Dealer’s Choice: each PAX got to call an exercise using the proper cadence

More Q notes

Most Important thing: It’s Not About You!

Your #1 Job as a Q is the safety of the PAX

Planning not just the exercise, but the explanations, transitions and your BOM.

Better to have too much than not enough

Utilize a Sweeper to keep eyes on the 6

Have PAX count off for rest times

Think about the weather, amount of day light, size of the PAX, and fitness level of the PAX

Do I need any equipment cones, light sticks, coupons, 

Make sure you can do the exercise “If you can’t do it don’t Q it.”

Always wear a watch. 

Never leave a man behind

COT (Circle of Trust) and BOM (Ball of Man)

Count-O-Rama

Name-O-Rama

Hospital Name, Age, F3 Name

Every man calls out his F3 Name and the PAX repeat it

PAX calls “Respect” for those over 50

FNGs (Friendly New Guy)

Every FNG gets a F3 name at the close of Name-O-Rama

Blackblast

BB should be posted within 24 hours of beatdown

BB are important and you owe it to the PAX


Moleskine: Just want to apologize for getting this BB out late. Got home yesterday to a home without power. Guessing a tree fell down while at work and I didn’t get power until 8:40 PM and was starting to wind down at that time. Also, felt great getting to Q at Huey and glad Ducktales allowed me to sprinkle in some Q 101 knowledge into my beatdown.
