[open] pump up the jam (a.k.a the fitness mingle post)

Who: Sheryl ([personal profile] galactically) and YOU!
What: Exercise classes (see the class schedule)
When: April 11th/13th/15th, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM
Where: Menrva's temple @ the ballroom
Warnings: Fanservice, possible violence, and Genos

Notes: Feel free to make your own top-levels! Threadhop to your heart's content. c:

[Sheryl doesn't attend classes too often nowadays due to her work schedule, but she always makes sure to be on time once the clock strikes three thirty — or at least be fashionably early. Even teachers like herself have to look her best, especially in simple but flattering gym clothes. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon, the ballroom is open for all things fitness, and Sheryl plans to give her students one hell of a workout.

Don't let her vibrant smiles fool you; she turns into an enthusiastic yet merciless drill sergeant should you ever fall behind on your exercises. The microphone she carries around has a built-in cord that she uses as a whip — definitely not for show! A certain assistant will also be by her side, and he's just as tough if not more so.

To all slackers... abandon hope all ye who enter.]




Outside the Ballroom
[Nothing brings more prospective students together in one place than good ol' promotion, and Sheryl is not above using whatever is on her disposal to gain more members. She already made a BBS post announcing her classes, so now it's time for another tactic: food.

With a charming smile and a wink, she gestures at a small platter of turkey and cheese sandwiches on a nearby table right next to the sign-up sheet.]


Want to get in shape? Gain some extra muscle on your arms or legs? Build up stamina? Then you've come to the right place!

Exercises
[Congratulations, you're now part of the exercise class — whether you're only just stopping by for one session, visiting out of sheer curiosity, or who knows what else. There is plenty of sweating, stretching, fat burning, and muscle building to be done. Mats are on the floor for people to use, and various equipment such as exercise balls, dumbbells, jump ropes, and hula hoops can be seen. There's also a radio that Sheryl is using to turn up the volume so to speak.

So, what can a typical student expect from Sheryl's class?]

Yoga: A whole lot of stretching limbs, balancing acts, and dramatic poses. They start out as simple as lotus positions and cobra poses, but slowly progress into the intermediate positions such as downward-facing dog poses and tree poses. And then... the dreaded plow pose. At least there is music to relax to.

Pilates: Core strength training, breathing, and more stretching through special moves. Feel the burn as you stretch your limbs while squeezing your stomach at the same time!

Other Exercises: Sit-ups, push-ups, jumping jacks, playing with jump rope and hula hoops, etc.

Muscle Training: Want to be super buff? Grab some dumbbells and go to town! They are available from small (about five pounds) to large (about twenty).

Running: Enjoy your laps around the ballroom while catchy music plays in the background! Go race someone! Or you could be a turtle...

Break Time
[Sheryl may be stringent, but let it be said that she's capable of mercy. Everyone should get a break or two now and then, hence why there are healthy snacks and drinks on the table. She's actually taken the opportunity to make small bowls of pot-au-feu, which smells and looks incredibly edible... and some fruit bars, which look lumpy. Sheryl may excel in certain skills, but baking is not one of them — much to her chagrin, coming from a woman who's usually very confident.

Take this opportunity to socialize, eat some food, sneak out of the ballroom, fool around, hide in the corners, etc.]

I'm not scared, you moron. [He huffs and shoves Genos out of the way, walking over to where Zoro is waiting]

So, you need a partner for some exercises, huh? [He tries to play it cool, one hand on his hip and smirking up at Zoro, buuuuut he's still blushing pretty intensely] Well, you should know, I am the most flexible person here.

[ Reiji used to be one of Japan's top runners. If he doesn't at least catch her attention, something is wrong. ]

Could I? I'm interested. Especially if you have a good running regime.

[ That's what he's best at, after all. He'll also take one sandwich. ]

[ Sora gets one of his trademark cheerful smiles - not as radiant as usual given that he's a bit tired, but there's plenty of friendliness. ]

Thanks! It's practice, really. [ At least, he thinks it's practice, due to having no memory. ] I was thinking we could have more obstacles to go over. It'd make things more interesting.

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-09 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I figured. [He nods, crossing his arms.] The way you move when you fight is pretty acrobatic, so I thought you would be good for these.

[He smirks then.]

Unless this is too much for you.

[But... alright, she's the boss. He still looks somewhat wary as he puts his weights down and reaches for the twenty with his other hand and tries to pick it up. It's definitely a strain...]

I don't think it's going to work.
mybadhabit: (You won't pull ahead)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-09 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Please. I'm surprised you can manage any of these poses, what with all those... [he trails off, letting his eyes travel up and down Zoro's body] rippling muscles getting in your way.

[personal profile] darkesthour 2016-08-09 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
But you wanted to do it.

[Said teasingly because Kija... Really. She's over it though. The mystery of the squishy floor is apparently a bigger challenge than jumping now anyway. She crouches down next to it to poke at the foam and watch it bounce back.]

How does it know when you squish it correctly?

Yoga

[Elsa has never done yoga before, but what better time to try than when you're looking for any way to get your mind off the subject of pretty much anything that has happened to her since being brought here?

Lucky for her, she has grace and good balance thanks to her dance training. The stretching, though -- that's new, and it's nice. Elsa comes out of a sun salutation with a smile, breathing out.]


I need to do this more often.

I guess it's best to try from something simple. Like.. assisted backbend. H[ e's skimming through that book, barely listening to their banter. ]

You will need to stand back-to-back and hook elbows. Then one person starts leaning forward, while the second leans back. This continue until the second's person feet lift off the ground.

[ the book gets closed audibly ]

Then switch.

[He comes by it honestly.]

Maybe. It does seem like a good way to stay in shape without getting too sweaty.

[That's a big concern for him, okok.]

[DON'T....tease him!! He makes a distraught noise, but turns to follow Yona over to the squishy floor and hunker down to observe it himself. Hmm!]

Perhaps it will make a sound?

You're worse than Riku, you know that? What is this, bully Sora day? Or is that everyday? [He's teasing again, because no one was worse than Riku. He'd been enduring fifteen years of Riku being mean to him. Tough love, he'd call it. Yeah whatever. Now he had tough love from Riku and Sonic? What a pain.]

Yeah I don't think I have! What's his vessel?
mybadhabit: (It's a race!)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-10 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Having never met Riku, I can't really say anything about that. I'm going to take it as a compliment though. [he gives Sora a squeeze, reaching up with one hand to ruffle and fluff his hair up further] If I didn't pick on you, you would think I didn't love you.

He's the hour hand of a city clock. [he sighs] Swinging him more like using a bat, and I'm not particularly fond of it. I do, however, like his rewind ability, which allows me to jump back to a fixed point in time.

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-08-10 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I am-

[She really didn't. For some reason, the idea of heights or even falling didn't freak her out from a conceptual level. Or maybe, simply, it seemed like less of an issue compared to other obvious (to her) problems]

-It's just that, I don't think it seems that easy to make the jump with another person.

[On top of the fact she'd probably have to hold onto him a lot more than just holding hands.]
noli_oblivisci: (blinkblink)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-08-10 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh-um-thanks, that's very generous of you. They look delicious.

[Psyche intended to at least finish the sandwich before thinking of grabbing another. However, within a few bites, she'd decimated a good chunk of the sandwich and, well, she got the feeling she'd need another. She tucked another with the first, a bit self-consciously. Equally as self-conscious]

I...should probably go check out what people are doing. Just to see if there's anything in particular that catches the eye.

[It was a good way to get a scope for things...and to make sure she wasn't tempted to run off with the plate.]

Muscle Training

[He may be a young kid, but Killua is buff as heck, and he wants to keep it that way. He can be found lifting all kinds of weights, and they always seem to be heavier than what someone of his scrawny build should be able to lift.]

Break

[In between reps, Killua takes some time to drink some water and check his phone.

Actually, anyone nearby will see him smiling at his phone. While there's an open text conversation. And he might be blushing a little. Aww.]

[Battler isn't one to work out, but he is enjoying watching everyone else do it!

Male and female alike, you might find Battler watching you intently and curiously. Perhaps a little more intently on the girls. Oops.]
clothes_make_the_man: (big smile)

Break!

[Forrest is taking a break too, after doing some rhythmic gymnastics exercises on the other side of the room. He gives a bright and cheerful smile as Naminé approaches the refreshment table.]

Oh, what a darling sundress!

I prefer something light... But why don't you tell me what your favorites are? We can start there.

Actually, I carry others all the time! My limit is usually one person. I'm only so strong. But for a girl like you, it would be no trouble at all.
