"Are you nuts?!?" I hear you say. "Exercising in the middle of Israeli summer heat, when it's scorching hot in the shade and there's not a breath of wind around??"
Well, I figured that if I was going to have to sweat and stink, I'd rather have a good reason for it (and do it on my terms).
Anyway, I found out one thing early on.
I'm out of shape. Really out of shape.
In fact, so far out of shape that not only would Aeryn kick my butt for letting his Patron get into such a state, but he'd probably set me against Summer and she'd likely kick my butt, too. Without magic.
First set of pushups? Fifteen.
First set of twenty situps? Check.
Second set of pushups? ::strain:: ::grit teeth:: Thirteen.
Second set of twenty situps? Seventeen...::gasp:: Eighteen...::heave:: Ninteen...::strain:: Twenty! ::collapses::
Not to mention the heart rate coming close to a drumroll.
Damn. At least the Tai Chi went a little better, although I need to practice that more, too...
