Can you feel your muscles screaming?
You’re getting there
Keep going
Run, race, sprint (Faster, faster!)
Thighs throbbing
Pulse pounding
Feel the fat drip off
Sweat
Exercise, exert yourself (It’s worth it in the end)
No, don’t weaken now
Come on you were doing so well
Here, take a swig of water (Not too much, you don’t want to get cramps)
Cool, clear, refreshing
Struggle to stand
Have I pushed you too far?
Perspiring, respiring
Feel the blood pulsating through your veins
Insides tight
Internal bleeding (I told you not to drink too much)
Sit down, head between your knees
Breath, deeply, take a gulp of oxygen
You did well
Tomorrow you’ll do even better
