In the second part of this workout you spend one minute at each of five stations, resulting in a a five-minute round after which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for three rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of ‘rotate,’ the athletes must move to the next station immediately. 
The stations are:
 1. Over head one arm Ball lunges–hold a weighted ball overhead, lunge....each set use different arm
2. Sumo deadlift high-pull
3. Box jump –
4. Push-press –
5. Burpees –

I made this pork tenderloin recipe this weekend and it was absolutely wonderful!  I made a few changes to the original to keep it clean and it turned out fantastic!

Spinach, Pesto, and Feta-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Chunky Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1  (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1/4  cup  basil pesto
  • 1  cup  baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup of sun dried tomatoes in olive oil  (I get mine at Costco)
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese with basil and sun-dried tomatoes
  • Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes with balsamic vinegar

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 500°.
2. Cut pork lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Open halves, laying pork flat. Place pork halves between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Spread pesto evenly down length of tenderloin; top with spinach and feta and sprinkle with 1/2 of the sundried tomatoes. Close tenderloin; secure at intervals with wooden picks (about 12). Place pork in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Coat pork with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with pepper. Pour tomatoes in balsamic around pork in pan. top with the remaining sundried tomatoes.
3. Bake at 500° for 22 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink). Let stand 5 minutes. Discard wooden picks; cut pork into 8 slices. Serve roasted tomatoes over pork.

 this was SO wonderful! I served with a green salad and brown rice.
