Outdoor Fitness and Strategy [Monday, Period One]

"Good morning," Bond began after the class had finished arriving. "This is the last week of classes, which also makes it your final. Rather than go for some fiendishly complex plot that involves no small level of risk to your collective person, we'll be doing something fairly simple instead."

Please note that simple was not quite the same thing as easy.

"We'll be revisiting the exercises that you all did in the first class. If at the end of the class you've shown improvement on your results from those, however slight, that will count as a pass."

"Now, who's up for some laps of the school for a warm up?"

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

Kyle had improved from the beginning of the semester and he had more upper body strength than he'd had in his whole life. Amazing how you could build muscles when you had a regular source of decent protein that wasn't two day old coyote.

Gwynn had definitely improved from the beginning of the year. It helps that she had somehow managed to stick to a training and work-out regiment, too. Not to mention those visits home.

Jonas showed some improvement in the crunches and push ups section but he was still lanky and thin so pull ups proved a little more difficult and he stayed pretty much the same during the final as he had at the beginning of the year.

Rose had already been in damn good shape but between continued training and a renewed focus after the events of February, she shot past her original numbers.

And was really damn surprised by that.

Sam improved a little on each exercise, mainly because he pushed himself extra hard today. It was a final, after all.

Andros had already been pretty good at the exercises but he still managed to do even better than he had been.

Zayne's crunches increased significantly and he made a marked improvement in pull-ups, but his push ups only improved marginally.

Sit and Reach, Trunk Rotation, and Groin Flexibility.

Also see if you can either still link your arms diagonally behind your back, or if you can when you couldn't before.

Kyle's flexibility still wasn't great in his legs. He could run like the wind, but his hamstrings were tight.

Gwynn already knew she was flexible, but a task like this helped her work on the places that she needed to. It wasn't possible to be too flexible, was it?

...not dirty.

Jonas was not that flexible at all. He was all arms and legs, lanky and long limbed so these exercises showed slight improvement but not much.

Rose's flexibility was basically unchanged from the beginning of the semester. Which is to say it was pretty high on all the charts.

Sam still couldn't quite do the sit and reach right. Some day, the rest of his body had to catch up to his legs.

Andros' flexibility was already reasonably good and the results were reflected in the slight improvement that he showed.

Zayne's flexibility was slightly improved, but it was pretty high to begin with. Overall, he was happy with this circuit.

Around the entire island this time.

Jog at a steady pace, try to keep to a fast walk at a minimum, and watch out for pedestrians and stray rickshaws.

The endurance run was where Kyle was at his best. It wasn't so long compared to what he'd done in the past, and he went running of a morning pretty often, so he kept a brisk pace and got around and back in good time.

This was actually the part of the final that Gwynn enjoyed most. Going out for a run and shoving things out of her head in order to enjoy it was a nice way to spend some time.

Jonas was lagging a bit from the previous tests but he was determined not to walk. It'd give him something happy to tell Beka once she stopped being a small dog.

Thanks to Dimitri's ~~obsession~~ focus, the endurance run wasn't a problem. The problem was still the fairly minor headache and flashes of blackness every so often in the edges of Rose's vision.

She wasn't paying them any attention.

Sam didn't mind this part of the test at all. Running was a good way of clearing his thoughts, and he pushed himself as hard as he could to get the best time possible.

Andros had no problem at all with the endurance run and it was easily his greatest strength.

Zayne was making pretty good time... but then a stray rickshaw got him. The time he had built up was gone by the time Zayne got up and onto a good pace, and he ended up finishing fractions of a second faster than he did at the beginning of the semester.
