[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.]

Whoever you want. I wasn't going to dictate every step. [ Genos just shrugs. He has a very small hope that maybe, maaybe it means Sonic isn't entirely confident in his skill with that exercise. But there's a nagging suspicion that it might be related to something else. Only what? ]

But if that's what you want, sure. You're first, Hermes.

[Zoro snorts, smirking the whole time, and he prepares himself to be lifted up by Sonic.]

Now you can show off to everyone here by lifting me.
mybadhabit: (We will surely make the covers)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-10 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been showing off all day, it's not my fault if you weren't paying attention. [he huffs, but starts leaning forward. Sonic may not put his focus on strength training, but he's trained hard enough that carrying someone like Zoro is not that much of a burden]
scrap_metal: (my electricity)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-12 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Remember to go slow. It's not a speed contest. While you-- [ he points at Zoro ] --relax as you lean against him.
wadoichimonji: (hahaha funny)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-13 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yes sir!

[Zoro nods towards Genos, then turning to Sonic.]

So... You like to show off that much eh?

[He relaxes unto the movement, wondering if Sonic will be able to get his feet off the ground.]
mybadhabit: ((You didn't listen))

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-13 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I am going slow! I know how to do yoga, Genos.

[He huffs as he leans forward - slowly.] I don't see why I shouldn't enjoy showing off. I'm a highly skilled and talented individual, and all my skills would go to waste if I didn't use them.

However, I think you're too fucking tall for this pose to work! [With about six inches of height difference between them, it's starting to look like no matter how far he leans forward, he's not going to get Zoro's feet off the ground.]
scrap_metal: (talking)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-14 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
If you think it's beyond your capabilities, you can always give up.

It's important to not overwork yourself and stay in tune with your body. [ Now he's quoting the yoga manual ] I'll find a different pose.
mybadhabit: (You pucker up)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-14 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I can lift him! I can lift him just fine! I could fucking bench press him, if I wanted! He's just got longer legs than I do, it's not any failing on my part!
scrap_metal: (say cheese)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-14 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Should I get you a box?
wadoichimonji: (LOL)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Zoro is trying really hard not to laugh at the two's exchange, but it becomes impossible. He's laughing, shaking all over, while his feet stay nicely planted on the floor.]

Want- Want me to lift my legs up?
mybadhabit: (They're in control)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-17 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Shut up! I, Speed of Sound Sonic, the ultimate ninja assassin, do NOT have to take this!

[With that, he lets go of Zoro and quickly gets out from underneath him, leaving Zoro to fall to the ground if he can't catch his balance quick enough]

Hmph.
scrap_metal: (say cheese)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-17 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You're not fazing Genos with your tantrum ]

You requested a more intense training regime. [ He's probably as amused as Zoro, just not showing it. ]
wadoichimonji: (LOL)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-19 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[And fall to the ground he does, staying on it, laughing.]

Come on! It was just a bit of fun!
