THE THANG

After a brief disclaimer, the PAX moseyed around the playing field to warm up the legs, followed by some Warmorama. :

  • SSH x 15
  • WMH x 15
  • LBAC x 15
  • Air Press x 15
  • rLBAC x 15
  • Mountain Climbers x 15

The PAX then made their way over to the swings for the Main Event. Whilst Crablegs was Smartpacking (not deterred by a nagging injury, performing either the same or modified exercises), the PAX partnered up for some Dora with a Swing theme. The exercises were:

  • 100 Kangarows (or Steve Irwins) – laying flat on your back under the swing, pulling yourself up by the swing in a horizontal row maneuver
  • 200 Swerkins – feet in the swing, perform a derkin followed by bringing knees to the chest and straightening the legs back out before another rep
  • 300 Swinging Squats – perform a squat, and on the way up bring your feet together, alternating stepping to the right and left on alternating reps

The other partner ran around the nearest water tower and back to meet their partner, picking up where they left off until all exercises were complete.

After completing the Swinging Dora, the PAX made their way back to the parking lot for some Mary. We all took turns calling out exercises in cadence until time was up:

  • World War I x 20
  • High Plank x 20
  • Flutter Kick x 20
  • J-Lo x 20
  • Box Cutter x 15
  • Reverse Box Cutter x 15
  • Freddie Mercury x 30
