*holding particularly difficult and painful Hatha Yoga pose on the mats beside the legion of treadmills*

I hope I'm doing this right or Jaspreet will kick my ass...

*peers up at Foster*

Heya, boss.

::hears... well, something, over the tramping of own feet and mechanical noise::

::holds stride, glances around::

...wtf...?

::catches movement, lower, from corner of eye, raises eyebrows::

Secorro.

::stares a moment, then frowns::

S'at... somethin' you should be doing in public...?

*can't help but grin*

To be honest, I'm not sure it's something I should be doing at all.

*shifts a little, feels something... pinch? crack? not good either way*

Ow.

*unravels self from the 'position' and sits cross-legged, rubbing shoulder*

Ha... ::laughs at own joke, well well... not too shabby, Simon::

*chuckles a little* Truer words, Simon...

*sighs, rolling head from side to side to stretch neck*

Well, in my defence, Jaspreet -- er, Crewman Dhaliwal, my roommate -- usually helps me with my Yoga. She's got about 15 years of training. But I thought I would give it a try on my own for once.

Bad idea, I guess.

Pfft. Yoga.

If the human body was meant to bend like that... or if we were supposed to have our legs above our heads for hours at a shot, we'da been born with... our... legs above our heads.

Yep.

::breathing harder, is getting a good workout::

You oughta take up jogging. Or... sparring. Yeah, sparring. Calms ya down, works ya up...

::shrugs::

Happy to offer up a partner. I used to assist the Captain.

::winces a moment, remembering that damned black eye incident...::

It's not about the bending...

*ignores his dig at Yoga, knowing he wouldn't understand the spiritual aspect of it anyway*

*stands up, still rubbing the shoulder, might have to see Phlox about this one*

*resists the urge to tell Simon that jogging has been a part of own regular routine since age 15, or to tell him about the weekly floor-hockey matches with Worthington, always best to just 'take' Foster's advice and leave it at that*

Sparring, eh? That sounds, uh, interesing.

"Calms ya down, works ya up..."??? What kind of sparring do you do? Kickboxing? Martial Arts?

Ahh... this n' that. Mostly just straightforward boxing. Jab and parry. One-two, one-two. Ha.

Man's sport. Nothin' fancy needed.

A man's... No no no, don't go there. Just leave it.

I see.

Nothing fancy, huh? Well. Sounds like fun. Maybe when you're done there... *trails off with a shrug*

::glances sideways at Secorro::

::frowns::

Well, now... you done sparring before? 'Sounds like fun'... isn't exactly a promising response.

::grins as jogs::

Does growing up with 6 brothers count? How about 4 months combat training with a MACO squad before joining the academy?

*smiles a little* I've got some experience, yeah.

Easy peasy.

::shrugs::

Okay. Your neck.

::points across the gym::

Gloves are over there in the lockers. I'll be off of here in two more minutes... want to hit my optimum heart rate for a warm up.

::sets the machine up to the last level, pounds the runner::

In the lockers, right. *manages not to roll eyes*

...

*heads over and picks the perfect pair, sturdier around the wrists but more cushioned on the knuckles than the others, doesn't really want to hurt him*

*gets out tensor bandages and begins to wrap hands as Foster finishes his lolly-gagging run*

::... three, two, one, BEEP::

::treadmill shudders down, slows the jog all the way, breathing nice and deep, just breaking a sweat... good stopping place::

::grabs towel, wiping face and hauling it over shoulders, heads across the cavernous room to Secorro, keeping an eye on what she's doing::

Wrappin'? Gonna be hard on me, crewman? ::smirks to self, digging around for favorite pair of gloves::

izzy_secorro March 22 2005, 05:16:53 UTC
Depends how good you really are...

Naw, I doubt it. I just don't want to hurt my wrists. Phlox would be pissed.

*smiles sweetly*

::quirks eyebrows::

Sure thing. Smilin' now, not for long, missy.

::holds up hands::

I'll pass though.

::keeps digging, can't seem to find the ones he wants... usually right there::

...

::tosses a glance over at Secorro::

Huh. You got my gloves.
