After doing a real honest-to-goodness warmup of 1-3 sets of 10 of each:

* Samson Stretch
* Pushups
* Air Squats
* Situps
* Chest-to-bar
* Dips

We will be doing two timed tests. Maureen and Jackie have seen this before, it ain't pretty. First will be running the bottom level stairs up, through the tunnel and down then over to the next set of stairs, over and up, etc. We will do this for one half of the stadium and back. Don't worry, I'll explain it better once we get there. I'll be sending you off in 1 minute increments so people don't get too jumbled up.

Then after as much rest are you all want, one timed run to the top of the stadium however you can get up there (eg, up the bleachers or up the stairs).

Monday extra cardio

If the body is feeling good...

Choose ONE of the Following sports:
Swim: 2x8 min, Rest 2 min Between intervals
