In the Military, daily and weekly meetings discuss the command's Plan of the Day
(POD) and Plan of the Week (POW). NEW in 2008, Stew Smith will write his
Plan of the Week for all to use.  These workouts are tough, not designed for beginners,
and require special equipment at times like swimming pools, weights, pull-ups bars, dumbbells or kettlebells.  These workouts will have a purpose: to better PT scores,
improve cardio fitness and speed in the water and on land.  At the beginning of each
week, there will be a fitness challenge and over time, we will see if your fitness improves.
