Private Finished Workout Day

Saber · Jun 19, 2017

James had largely kept his training a secret for one reason or another, but Nyota knew and well somehow they had decided to train together.

So they entered the gym, him wearing a long sleeved shirt, a towel hanging from his neck. "My routine is pretty simple," he quickly rolled out a punching bag and several weights for lifting. Shrugging he also pulled out a few things for agility training as well.

"Not really sure what you wanted to focus on first," he pulled his long sleeved shirt off, revealing his sleeveless shirt and his muscles underneath. "I normally start with the punching bag."

"Punching bags? That sounds right up my ally..." remarked Nyota as she joined her friend in his workout routine. She has been feeling fat ever since she attended this school. To many days binge watching Netflix and cramming junk food down her mouth has taken a toll on figure. She needed to get in shaped, so why not get in shape with her best friend James she though? Keep her on a routine and help spot her when using equipment.

"Alright so lets do this." declared Nyota as she approached the unsuspecting punching bag. She takes up boxing stance that she has seen on television and lines up her punch. She testing her reach before taking a few jabs at the helpless bag. She went to punch the bag with her left hand was momentary confused as her punch didn't connect. That was when she remembered that she had no left arm anymore, or at least most of it. Now she remembered why she didn't work out much any more...

"Ughh... yeah... forget about that for a moment." lamented Nyota, but she didn't dwell on it for long as she turned to her friend, wearing a confident smile on her face to hide her disappointment.

"Right so... whats next? I feel warmed up now."

He'd never treated Nyota differently, her missing limb had never mattered to him. She was just Nyota, his best friend, his first friend.

"Next I usually hit the weights or run," he walked over to said weights, "though I usually get up around five for runs." He picked up one of the weights and started lifting.

"After this, we'll hit up the electric shock treatment," he said jokingly, smirking slightly at his friend. "It's quite healthy for the muscles," he said continuing to tease his friend.

"... the fuck? Thats... intense! You actually do- oh your just bullshitting me aren't ya." grumbled Nyota, only just catching that he was just screwing with her. Anyone other than Jame and she would have let out a can of woop-ass but this was her friend, they like to tease each other like this. Though... she almost believed him there for a moment.

"Alright alright... you had me... lets get to weights now!" cheered Nyota, strutting her way over to the dumbbell rack and immediately goes for the 35 pound dumbbell. The moment she pulled it off the rack, the heft of the object caused her to slouch. 35 pounds was a lot heavier than she remembered. She straightened out her back but she shoulder drooped from the weight, making her look even more lopsided in appearance than usual.

"Errugh... yeaaah so... curls or something right?" spoke up Nyota, her voice a little strained. While she could carry 35 pounds just fine... she was biting off more than she could chew if she was to actually experience with it. It that was obvious to anyone looking at her, save for Nyota herself.

His calm smile never left his face, though the Shadow was chuckling in the back of his mind as Nyota struggled with the weight. "It can take some time adjusting," he said as he grabbed the fifty pound one and started curling with relative ease.

"I'll probably never be all that strong," he said with a chuckle, "always was more agile than strong." And ironic statement considering his already impressive physique, "if you didn't sleep in you could go with me on my runs," he teased her a bit with a grin.

He continued curling, his muscles working, "we can pull out the heavier stuff, the ones meant to be lifted with two hands," he said still grinning. James enjoyed working out and training.

Nyota just gave James a skank eye. She dropped the weighted on the ground and placed her hand firmly on her hip.

"Hey... I need my beauty sleep okey? Maybe we can go one evening runs together or something. Also dude... your fucking ripped I mean... god... could grind meat on those abs. You may not claim to be all that strong but you at least you look the part... unlike me with my muffin top showing off." complained Nyota, pulling on the excess bit of fat on her belly "And did you forget that I am one hand short?"

Nyota sighed, it was times like this made her recall why she doesn't exercise as vigorous as she used to. The lack of a left hand was limiting and she felt inadequate... weak and vulnerable. And she didn't like showing it.

"Is there... something else we could do? Or... maybe help spot me on one of the machines?"

Saber · Jul 19, 2017

He blinked in shock about her comment about his abs, his face flushed for a second, "oh..uh...well....there not that good." Coughing nervously he set his weight down, "evening runs sound good, I usually go through the forest." Rubbing his hands together, he rose from his seat.

"Been taking some classes on combat," he stretched, warming up his muscles a bit more. "I hear they have classes for working out in general," he smiled, he was feeling good today. "So there's plenty of ways to train around here."

James nodded, "I'll spot you," even though they bickered, they were still close friends. "And when are your parents coming?" he asked curiously, "I'm excited to meet them."

Pallas · Jul 30, 2017

Nyota chuckles at James's modesty. Was he really all that surprised? He was was shaping up quite nicely whether he knew it or not. The invitation for evening runs sounded good, she could use some work on her cardio.

"Yeah, running through the forest during the evening sounds good." agreed Nyota, nodding her head before inspecting some gym equipment. "Well I am currently in power classes to get better mastery of my star power. Don't want to blow up my other arm now."

Nyota then approached a bench press and sat along the seat. Her right hand feels the leather cushion as he eyes looked to the bar hanging from its rungs.

"Thanks dork. Can't operate much of this equipment without someone watching me." complained Nyota as she lays her body on top of the bench, her eyes staring at the bar above. "As for my parents, not sure. They are still working out a few things but they will be staying here for while when they do finally arrive. I'll be sure to intoduce you to them once they get here."

She grasp onto the bar with her single arm and looks to James.

"Okey so I just need your help in lifting it a bit but DONT do all of the work will you? I hate it when people end up doing the exercise for me me."

Saber · Aug 3, 2017

He lifted a little, making sure not to do all the work for her, "it'll be nice to finally meeting them." Most orphans would have been envious of what Nyota, he never was, he was happy for her. "Wonder what they'll think of the island?" he chuckled slightly.

"You ever give any thought about what you'll do after school? After graduation that is," he never had a future before. Before the island, it was just surviving from day to day, no real time to think about tomorrow. "Not sure what I'll do, don't think I'll go to college," a small shadow tentacle appeared on his shoulder as he thought.

James continued to help her with the weights, flinching slightly as his ears suddenly, shrugging it off he refocused on Nyota.

Nyota she inhales through her nostrils, her arm pull back until the bar barely rests above her sternum. Then as she exhales, her arm expends outward to extend the heavy bar at her arm's reach. Once she as reached the peak of her performance, she inhales air through her nose as her body repeats the rhythmic motion like the steady engine. While she is concentrated on her workout, she listens to her friend converse with her.

She herself wonders what her parents what her parents would react once they arrive. Knowing them, they would be like children constantly looking and pointing at everything around them. Hopefully they don't act like total tourist or anything... might get on some people's nerves around here. The next question though she had no answer for. She never gave the future any mind, it was always long off to her and she was more concerned with what is happening to her at the present. She had no real direction in her life and sort of figured that whatever grand destiny she had in front of her will eventually reveal itself to her.

"... gosh I dunno... isn't a little too earlier to be worrying about these things though? We still have to complete high school first so don't go jumping off on College now." complained Nyota, continuing to repeat the exercise of lifting the bar up and down even though is starting to slow down.

"Ehh... besides... things have a... way of working out... in the end."
