Outdoor Fitness and Strategy [Monday, Period One]

[doubleohblonde]

The sun might have risen, but it was both early and cold enough that Bond's undisguised cheerfulness as he waited on the steps of the school for his class to finish assembling did not bode well for them.

"Good morning," he began, with a smile that was in no way predatory. "I'm Professor Bond, and this is Outdoor Fitness and Strategy. Due to the fact this is the first class of the year, we'll be going relatively easy today, with introductions and a couple of fitness tests so you'll each have a baseline to compare improvements against at semester's end."

"A few more things before we get started. Firstly, Kyle and Rose are your TAs," he said gesturing to them assuming they were around. "You may approach them as you would me, and in the case of my absence they have comparable authority to my own. Secondly, while you don't have to wear the eyesores masquerading as uniforms that Professor Dex is so very fond of in this class, I would advise that you wear durable, comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting dirty as well as suitable footwear. In the case that an activity needs specialised clothing and equipment, it will be provided for you."

Bond grinned again. "Finally, and most importantly, before we start with our introductions, we're going to warm up so we don't sprain something. Three laps around the school building, gentle jog. Four if you think you're up for it."

Like you'd rather still be in bed.

Listen to the Lecture - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

You might want to get some stretching in while he's talking though.

For Jonas, this was a completely different type of education. While the Community had promoted good health and fitness, it hadn't ever been at the forefront of their educational hierarchy.

Still, Jonas found he wanted to stretch his mind and body so he listened closely to Professor Bond while he waited to do his laps. He did some minimal stretching, making sure he wouldn't hurt himself while he listened.

Rose wasn't stretching actually. She'd pretty much come straight from Dimitri's training and running all over the damn island. This four laps wasn't much.

And it seemed like there'd be less flailing than in Sex Ed. That was sad.

"That's going EASY?!?!?"

This Bond guy was almost as crazy as Wolverine.

For a girl who'd spent most of the last four years in the south, it was too damn cold. Dru was actually looking forward to running so that maybe she'd warm the hell up.

Kyle was good at running and as such was already liking this class. He started to warm up while listening to Professor Bond.

Sam had already been outside this morning with Scout, and it was a little warmer now that the sun was up, so he was looking forward to getting moving.

Oh, good. After Fred had spent a term terrorizing them, Elena had been worried that the new phys ed guy might be a softie.

She did four laps, even if she had to fight to keep herself at a jog instead of tearing off from the start.

Zayne started stretching as soon as Bond mentioned running. The activities were apparently going to be a little more intensive than he expected for the first day, but this wasn't going to be too bad. Zayne's skills might have been weak, but his conditioning was pretty good.

Warm Up Jog - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

Three or four laps of the school building at a gentle jog (or fast walk).

Just remember that Bond is counting.

Re: Warm Up Jog - OFS [Week 1]

While Jonas knew this class would progress in difficulty, straight running wasn't too hard. He'd done this sort of thing with Asher even if they hadn't been neat laps. Spending free time chasing each other had always been fun and it was paying off here.

Kurt did his three laps around the building and then collapsed on the ground. "Oh, this is gonna suck so hard..."

Lois was in pretty good shape so jogging was something she could do for a long time without getting tired. This would be a lot more enjoyable if it wasn't freezing, however.

Re: Warm Up Jog - OFS [Week 1]

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

Dru was in decent enough shape that three laps around the building didn't really phase her. Once she finished she continued stretching now that she was a little warmer.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Running was always good exercise and Beka she'd do the four laps without complaining.

Hopefully Robin could be forgiven for cheating just a bit and taking some large hops just to keep up with people. He was so small that everyone else would likely have completed all of their laps before he'd have finished one.

Re: Warm Up Jog - OFS [Week 1]

[imcalledandros.livejournal.com]

Andros did the four laps of the building with no trouble at all.

Re: Warm Up Jog - OFS [Week 1]

As soon as Bond said they could do four laps if they wanted to, that was what Sam aimed for. It wasn't such a bad way to start off at all.

Introductions - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

After the last student finished their warm up, Bond pointed to a random student. "Name, year, interesting fact about yourself, and why you're taking the class," he said.

You can keep moving to stay warm so long as you pay attention to your classmates.

Re: Introductions - OFS [Week 1]

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"Hello. I'm Jonas and I'm a junior," he said, getting through those first two facts easy enough. They weren't disputable and he'd drilled them into his head as soon as he could. "I suppose an interesting fact about myself would be that this past Christmas was the first one I've ever experienced. I didn't even know what it was before that."

Jonas knew that could easily be attributed to being from one of the other worlds that his classmates came from so it was both true and easily hid his true past.

"And I'm taking this class because I've never taken a class focused on physical education before and from what I've heard about this island, it seems like it might be helpful."

Fitness Tests - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

The only people who'll know your results for these are you and Bond, so don't hurt yourself trying to beat each other.

Fitness Tests: Strength Circuit - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

You have two minutes per exercise to complete as many crunches, push ups, and pull-ups as you are comfortably able to.

Because Bond is less cruel than you might think, there are mats set out on the ground for the crunches and push ups, as well as gloves for the pull-up bar so you're not handling cold metal in your bare hands.

Talk to Bond - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

Despite demonstrating all these exercises, he's not even out of breath the bastard.

Talk to the TAs - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

THEY'RE HIS TAS! ALL HIS!

After they ping in.

Re: Talk to the TAs - OFS [Week 1]

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose was there and kinda amused she was.

Also she was eyeing her fellow TA with a bit of a frown. Tiny wasn't supposed to grow morw kthx.

OOC - OFS [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

Given the weather conditions, nekkid Bond is unlikely to make an appearance outside of OOC threads for quite some time.
