THE THANG:
– Center of Attention – Pax forms a circle with one person in the center. Center person is the timer and does 10 double merkin burpees (DMBs) while pax in the circle does an exercise at one station (using either a cinder block or kettle bell). The stations are WII double tap sit-ups, overhead press, goblet squat, curls, tricep extension, or lunges. After center person completes their 10 DMBs, a new person enter the center and everyone rotates a station. Complete one round at each station.
