Working Out? Is This How To Do it?

Running up to her room after a snack and getting a new book from the library, Selena threw the book on the bed and went to the closet to find what was called work out clothes. She was so glad the females had taken her shopping, she now had shorts and t-shirts as casual wear. She quickly change into them and got her running shoes from the bottom. Putting on the shoes, she made sure to tie them up tight like Bella had shown her so she wouldn't trip over the strings.

Shoes and these clothes felt a bit strange on her body. She had lived in the Chosen robes of white and gone barefoot her whole life on the Other Side. But since the coming of Phury, and his giving the choice to the Chosen to stay or to come to his side, she had chosen This Side, and now she wanted to blend in with the humans as the Brotherhood had.

Now dressed she left her room in the Mansion and ran down the Grand Staircase. Entering the room underneath, she put the code into enter the tunnels beneath and headed to the room where the males did what they called a workout.

Qhuinn and JM had taken her there before and instructed her on the use of the many machines and the free weights. They also imparted the importance of stretching before doing a workout. She went to the mats and placed her towel on the bench along with her Ipod. She sat down and went through the various stretching exercises she ha been taught. When she felt significantly loosened up, she got her Ipod and went to the running machines. She liked them best. The freedom of running was another thing she liked about being on This Side. There was no such activity on the Other Side. The Scribe Virgin would never have allowed this.

Getting on the machine, she placed the Ipod on the top of it and placed the ear buds in her ears. Qhuinn had given that to her as a gift and loaded it with music she liked and some that he thought appropriate for running. She set the dials to a slow jog and turned the machine on. Selena began jogging until she felt comfortable with the speed and then increased it. Qhuinn had also told her about the feature for incline and after she had gotten used to the speed again, she increased the incline.

With her Ipod thrumming music through her head, Selena continued her run until she had run 5 miles. Feeling satisfied with herself, also a different concept, she turned on the machine and picked up the towel to wipe her face, arms and legs from the perspiration all over her. Getting s bottle of water from the refrigerator, she sat down on the mats again. She had downed about half of the water to cool herself while she did her cool down exercises, also something very important so her muscles wouldn't cramp up.

When her exercises were completed, she took the ear buds from her ears and raped them around her neck, turning off the music. She took the towel and left the gym, returning to her room for a shower before First Meal was served.
