An absence is considered excused if it meets one of the College’s sanctioned reasons (personal illness, death of an immediate family member, or a College sponsored event).  If a conflict arises, simply contact me by phone (714-564-6922) or email (macdonald_juli@sac.edu) prior to the start of class and you will find that I am understanding and willing to work with you.  In the event of an absence, it is your responsibility to obtain notes from classmates and complete missed assignments.   Noteworthy:

  1. It is the student’s responsibility to drop all classes in which he/she is no longer participating.

WORKOUT PROCEDURES:

  1. Carry your workout card with you from station to station.  You may choose to record during or after completing the circuit.  Carrying your card is mandatory!  
  2. Begin the circuit going in numerical order.  You may start at any station as long as you work in numerical order.  Finish at the station before the one you started.  Example:  If you begin on station 5, end on station 4.  DO NOT GO BACKWARDS.
  3. Do 10-12 repetitions at each station.  Return weights slowly to the starting position without banging them.  Read the chart at each station for specific information on each exercise.
  4. It is mandatory to keep up with the tape recording. When the voice prompt says ‘STOP AND ROTATE’ you must move to the next weight station.
  5. At the end of class return your workout card to your instructor or the box on the counter.
