We will introduce them to some of the most effective exercises using bodyweight alone that can be done anywhere. Kids should plan to stay and encourage the Vkings as they physically and mentally push themselves to the limit in the Viking 300 Challenge.

VIKINGS,

This challenge is open to any V-S Viking (9-12) you don't have to be an athlete to be a Viking. If you accept this challenge quitting is not an option. You start you finish it's that simple! This will not be easy so don't let your friends influence your decision.

$10 entry fee is due prior to the initial testing phase. If you want a Viking 300 Challenge T-Shirt $20 will cover your entry fee and shirt. Entry fee should be given to me when you first test.

My normal fees to train serious student athletes range from $40 a month for general physical preparedness to $60 an hour for personal training. Included in your entry fee to participate will be scheduled workout and instruction times during the 4 week contest. You get one chance for this unique training opportunity.

If we get 20 Vikings to participate I will donate $5 back to the V-S Athletic Department for every paid registrant. All Vikings must complete the final testing to count towards the goal of 20 participants, no exceptions!

IMPORTANT: The Sign Up Form is in the High School office. Make sure you get a copy of the consent waiver which must be completed prior to your first test. When you decide to join us I will then add your name to the Commitment List on this blog.
