The THANG: 

With 9 PAX, the plan has already gone awry, as the table was metaphorically prepared for 8. No worries. With sets of 21, 15, 9 reps forthcoming, JV seamlessly delved into prime numbers as a solution before realizing how flawed his lesson was…moving on.

With 4 kettlebells, 4 jump ropes, an F3 playlist and a Bose speaker, it was on.

Broke into 4 groups: 3 groups of 2; 1 group of 3 (all prime, btw)

Round 1:  KB Swings• 1st partner to do 21 KB swings while 2nd partner jumped rope;

Partners switched, 2nd does 21 KB swings; 1stjumps rope• 15 KB Swings- Jump rope (switch)• 9 KB Swings- Jump rope (switch)

*Due to great disparity between skill at jumping rope, some modified to running loops 

Round 2:  KB Goblet Squats

Teams to do 80 (total) as a team. 1st partner did KB goblet squats while 2nd ran to 3rd light post and back. Switched positions continued until hitting a cumulative 80.

Round 3:  KB High Pulls• 1st partner to do 21 KB high pulls while 2nd partner jumped rope or ran;

Partners switched, 2nd does 21 HPs; 1st jumps rope or runs• 15 KB HPs- Jump rope or run (switch)• 9 KB HPs- Jump rope or run (switch)

Round 4:  KB Swings• 80 Team KB Swings• 1st partner does KB swings, 2nd runs to 3rd light pole• Damn, we’re all hurting now• Switch, switch, etc, until 80
