Once assessments are complete, students are to be organized into permanent workout groups of 3-4 to be assigned a workout for that day's lab by the instructor. Instructors will need to monitor groups and be organized in such a way as to make sure each group is assigned appropriate work and is able to experience each of the lab workout options. Special care should be taken to avoid a situation in which students do the same workout every lab (unless there are health history or related reasons contraindicating this.)
