Calvin sent out a general call for any interested parties to work out with him… the message suggested comfortable footwear and clothing consistent with a warm climate. It had been quite a while since he ran a fitness training… in fact it had been years. He was still the chief of security when he did the last one. He smiled to himself. There were some nice memories attached to that exercise.Marius
Ben had climbed through 3 Jeffries tubes like he usually does to get to the Gym. “Sir, it’s been years since you did this.”
Park
Just after Park arrived Magnus entered the room “Captain, Park” He said with his usual smile “You know, sir, I’ve been hoping for an opportunity to work out with you” he said with an even wider grin before looking at Ben “Do you think you can keep up lieutenant?” He said in a teasing manner, he was over fifteen years older than the Tactical officer.

Marius just looked and chuckled deep in his chest. “Its not a straight workout… I like them a little complex.” Marius was wearing a grey slightly threadbare Colonial Marines Tee shirt. Where he found one so worn was hard to figure out since no one needed to keep distressed clothes any more. What was truly distressing was the shorts he elected to wear. They were almost embarrassingly short. The only thing that kept it from being laughable was the unusually good shape the Captain was in.
OOC: Okay, I’ll bite ..

Dagen had hummed and hawed about this invitation since it had come up. He had undertaken the use of the holodeck for personal training and entertainment since arriving. At the beginning he had thought it was going to kill him, but he had improved over the ensuing couple of years to the point that now, taking up this offer, he hoped that he wouldn’t entirely embarrass himself. He was of an age with the XO but that didn’t mean he was on the same fitness level as the man, or of the younger crew. “Gentlemen,” Dagen said in greeting. “Captain, I trust you will take it easy on us,” he said with a light tone.
- Dagen“Sure… that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” He looked about for a moment… “I guess this is us. Computer four backpacks, 1-45 kilogram weight 3 at 42 kilos.” He smirked as if he was the funniest man in the world and handed Dagen the 42 kilo pack. The others he passed to the rest. It took a moment for him to strap on his backpack of 45 kilo and then did buddy checks on everyone weight being sure that the weight was on the right locations to avoid injury.
He turned and faced a trail that seemed to appear out of nowhere leading off towards an impossibly thick jungle-scape. He trotted off.

Magnus smiled as he strapped on the backpack quickly. For a moment he considered asking for the same weight as the Captain but decided against it. He followed Marius, turning around to Ben and Dagen and gave both men a smile and a wink. This was going to be fun.

Dagen was used to carrying weight during a workout. Of course his workout was winter style with winter gear and carrying a rifle in doing a biathlon. This was … going to be embarrassing, he thought as he struggled with the pack. Putting 90 pounds on his back was not a simple matter, but he kept on with a straight face thinking that what embarrassment he might feel was nothing compared to the Captain’s shorts.
- DagenThe temperature was rising to an uncomfortable 35 degrees Celsius. The jungle scape seemed real with requisite sounds and rustles… irritating humidity. What was fortunate was that the trail was clear and smooth… it did grade upward a few degrees making the run itself more difficult. Marius set the pace which was not very fast. The best description was a relentless lumber. He seemed like a giant locomotive with every exhale sounding like the steam escaping with each chug. This lumber continued for about two kilometers before they reached a 4 meter wall. Marius paused, “Lead off.” he said to no one in particular.
Marius CO
Ben was struggling with the weight of the pack which was slightly noticeable to others as he was adjusting the straps to it. “Aye Sir.” As soon as he said that he started climbing up the wall. Ben was not known to be a very avid climber, but he could still hold his own.
