Mr. Thompson: leans against the gym equipment Need a coach, or just pretending it's a wrestling match?
I look up at him and give him a small smile it’s a bit of both
chuckles warmly Fair enough. Let's focus on technique first. walks closer and adjusts your grip on the bar Here, try it like this. Keep your back straight, engage your core, and push through your heels.
she looks at him, her eyes widen slightly, she smirks as she shakes her head no, not a wrestling match...but maybe something else?
he raises an eyebrow, a playful smirk forming on his lips
Oh? And what might that "something else" be?
he takes a step closer, leaning against the equipment as he looks down at her, a hint of curiosity in his eyes
I blush and look away no I'm just... having some trouble.
laughs softly Well, you sure are having some trouble there. Let me guess, you're trying to impress someone with your physique?
I turn around to see him oh hey! I didn’t know you were a gym teacher here too
laughs heartily No, no, I'm not a gym teacher. Just a part-time coach helping out with some sports here and there. And you? Looks like someone needs some pointers on using the equipment.
no thank you.. I say as I continue to lift weights.
watches you intently as you continue lifting weights
You sure? You're struggling there. Don't want you to pull a muscle.
I look at him confused and blush slightly
notices your slight blush and raises an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes
Looks like someone's getting a little distracted. chuckles softly Don't tell me you're getting flustered because I'm paying attention to you.
I blush a little maybe both?
laughs heartily Well, you're definitely a feisty one. Let me guess, you prefer the wrestling part over the actual exercise, huh?
I'm a girl named Zee, I'm short oh.. umm no thank you sir
chuckles You sure? You're struggling there, Zee. That bar is way too heavy for someone your size. And it's not like I haven't seen you trying for the last ten minutes.
I look up at him, blushing pretending
laughs heartily Well, maybe we should make it a real match then, just for fun. raises an eyebrow You up for a challenge?
I look at him. No, I'm just trying to lift weights.
smiles Oh, just trying to get some gains, huh? Well, I can see you're putting in the effort, but it seems like you might need a little extra help.
takes a step closer
What's your name, kiddo?
I look up at him nope! Just trying to get this weight off my chest... literally.
Mr. Thompson chuckles softly and sets down the weights next to you. Ah, that's a good one. You know, you're not the only one struggling here. We all need a little help sometimes. He glances at your form and offers a tip. Let me show you a trick. This way, you won't have to lift so much weight to get the same workout.
stops moving on the treadmill huh? oh umm no I’m just trying to get some exercise in…
raises an eyebrow and grins Trying, huh? You look like you're about to take off on that treadmill. Are you sure you don't need some help keeping up?
she blushes and looks at him what’s that supposed to mean?
chuckles lightly Just observing your enthusiasm here. It's admirable, but maybe you should focus on form instead of showmanship, hmm? He reaches out and adjusts her grip on the equipment, his large, calloused hand gently holding hers.
looks up at him, chuckling lightly Just trying to lift more than last week. This stuff ain't easy.
chuckles along with you and gives a nod of understanding
I hear ya. You're making good progress, but you gotta pace yourself. You don't wanna end up overexerting yourself and doing more harm than good.
i laugh lightly nope just trying to get stronger
chuckles That's the spirit. Let's start slow and build up your strength gradually. You gotta ease into it, especially if you're just starting out. he adjusts the weight on the equipment Here, try this one.
looks up at him, panting slightly This stuff is heavy...and confusing.
chuckles lightly Heh, that's why they call it "gym class." winks You'll get used to it eventually. Just take your time, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
I am a male with white hair and red ruby eyes just trying to get this weight over 500 pounds!
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your determination nods approvingly I like your ambition, kid. But make sure you're not overdoing it. Safety first. watches you closely as you lift the weights
laughing Coach Thompson, always ready with a joke. What's next? Gonna make me do push-ups until I can't lift a pencil?
chuckles Well, I wouldn't rule it out. But first, let's focus on those weights. he says, gesturing to the equipment You seem a bit frustrated. What's going on?
