The Gym - Thursday morning

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny started with a five to ten minute aerobic program, then he followed with stretching exercises to all muscle groups. Moving on from there he performed a light work out with adequate resistance, causing his body to warm considerably.

After that, he began a series of dumbell exercises, from flat dumbell presses to incline flies. He was working his upper body strength today as well as his abs and legs. Now he was working on front raises with his knees slightly bent, the dumbell against his thighs, palms towards his body.

It was a great work out and one he needed. He had been neglecting his body for too long. Imagine that? And wanted a good work out this morning that would last a good couple hours. More than likely it would be followed by a swim at the pool.

Savannah had also decided to hit the gym as it had made her feel better the other day when she had been there. She smiled when she saw Johnny and tried not to watch him too much as she started running her laps around the gym.

Johnny glanced at Savannah, knew she was there, but it was hard to pay attention to her when he was grinding down on his jaw in an attempt to lift more weight. He really should have a spotter. But anyone who knew Johnny, knew that he wasn't so bright at times.

As Savannah had never lifted weights, she didn't realize that Johnny should have a spotter. However, her concern for him made her come to the punching bag next so she could kind of keep an eye on him if he needed any help.

Releasing the dumbell when she came over, Johnny grinned slightly at her, and wiped his face with the towel he had lying off to the side.

"Morning, sweetheart."

River had been trying to do exercise while on Serenity, but the cargo hold wasn't as nicely suited for the purpose as the gym at Fandom. On the other hand, the one in Scotland had been more impressive, especially in the supply of knives.

She quietly stepped into the room, walked over to a free part and began to practice a sequence of kicks and punches. When moving, the world around her seemed to stop and only the next step was in her mind.

Johnny saw River. And totally didn't look at her breasts despite their conversation the other day.

Okay, who was he kidding? He did look at her breasts. But not for long, he was seriously trying to get in some work out time here.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River didn't even notice Johnny looking at her breasts, or rather, her mind didn't register it as important during exercise. Not that she minded anyway, but right now people around her would only catch her interest as opponents.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

The kicks and punches kept his attention for a minute more and he wondered what it would be like to spar with her. Not that Johnny was much of a kicker, but hey, girl with long legs? He was totally up for that.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah watched her silently. She was pretty impressed with her movements.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River was oblivious to being observed. All her attnetions was on her movements.

Before he went to make breakfast, since Neil was an annoyingly early riser, he headed down to the gym to get in a little work with a soccer ball.

It kept him nimble and would also work off all the food he'd consumed at the BBQ the night before!

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Hey, guy he's seen and not met yet!

Between lifts, if Neil glanced over, Johnny would totally do the whole nod and greet thing.

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

In between a bit of quick dribble work with the ball, Neil happened to catch Johnny's glance and he gave the other boy a quick, ready smile.

Eve hadn't spent time in the gym in far too long, and she was rectifying that. Dressed in proper attire, she entered the gym and headed over to one of her old favorites -- the punching bag. You could beat the shit out of it and it didn't hit back.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Ah crap. He saw Eve and gave her a casual nod inbetween lifts. He wasn't prepared to argue about Savannah. Surely there wasn't anything arguable right now, right?

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, there most certainly was something arguable. But since that wasn't why she was there, she just returned the nod and even managed a smile. Not terribly friendly, but enough to let him know she wasn't there to put him in any sort of pain. And then she set about making sure her hands were taped up properly.

Troy figured that he should probably check out the gym facilities at Fandom, so he could keep up with his training while he was away. He was happy to see that there was certainly enough for his needs, and, after warming up, got to work on his weight-lifting routine.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny wiped his brow and noticed the new guy working out, "Hey, how's it going this morning?"

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

Troy grinned, and, as he did the last couple of reps in his set, said, "Not too bad!" He relaxed, and got off the weight machine. "Troy Bolton!" he added, holding out his hand. "I'm glad to see there's a decent gym here."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy needed to hit something. So after stretching, he began to beat up the punching bag.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

And he was beating it up pretty good, too. Johnny watched him between lifts, wondering if this was an exertion due to anger or just because he needed to work out.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Little of both actually. After a bit, he wasn't just punching it, but he began kicking it as well. He was careful only to kick with his right leg though.

Jim, already delightfully sweaty from a morning run, jogged into the gym to see about trying some of that aggression transference stuff Blair had always been talking about.

Okay, he was going to imagine his dad's face on the punching bag while he beat the crap out of it.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Setting down his dumbell carefully, Johnny came up and wiped his face, noticing Jim's entrance.

Uh, but he wasn't too sure that Jim was a happy camper.

"Yo, morning Jim."

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Johnny." Jim slowed his 'Jim SMASH' stomp to say hi.
