The evening sun cast a slightly yellowish hue, giving the sleek treadmill an unusual and captivating futuristic charm.
On the treadmill, there was a slender girl with a tall figure. Her legs moved rhythmically, maintaining a symmetrical stride.
Exercise is a form of beauty.
And it carries a primitive sense of power and sensuality.
Seeing her coach approach, Xiao Qi followed the instructions and slowed down the speed of the treadmill.
"You've been running without taking a break?" Li Dan asked, surprised.
"No," Xiao Qi replied. Sweat had already formed on her forehead, and slowing down actually made her sweat even more.
When running on the track, Xiao Qi always aimed for a goal of thirty thousand steps.
At first, it was as exhausting as running like a dead dog, but the motivation of money was strong. Even when she couldn't lift her feet anymore, she kept pushing forward.
Now she had become accustomed to it. The human body truly has boundless potential.
Li Dan's mouth twitched as she watched Xiao Qi. Despite sweating profusely, Xiao Qi seemed to speak without any noticeable shortness of breath. The new student appeared to be in good spirits.
"Great, you've warmed up enough. Come with me. In today's first class, I'll teach you some basic exercises."
Li Dan was also a fitness fanatic but had never seen someone come in for the first time and run so much.
Most of her students came to lose weight, both girls who were significantly overweight, weighing over 150 pounds, and boys who weighed over 200 pounds. For her, weight loss was relatively easy; it just required intense exercise and controlling calorie intake.
As long as the students were willing to come, she could help them lose weight.
However, unlike school teachers who had authority over their students, in fitness training, they had to beg the students to come for classes. After practicing for a while, the students would find various excuses, gradually attend fewer sessions, and eventually disappear. They had to constantly find new students to maintain their high income.
Looking at the slim Xiao Qi, who seemed to have plenty of energy while running, Li Dan realized that she herself might not be as relaxed even if she ran for such a long time.
During aerobics classes, there were breaks and interactions with the students, but running on the treadmill was different. The treadmill had to keep going, and the feet had to keep moving.
Judging by her body proportions, Xiao Qi was probably a swimmer. Her body fat should be low, and she had long legs and arms. She didn't have a small belly, but the only downside might be that she was too thin. Xiao Qi probably spent a lot of time sitting, so her buttocks weren't firm and perky, and her breasts hadn't developed yet; they were still flat.
Although her waist was slim and without a small belly, because her buttocks and breasts were not prominent, she resembled a small bean sprout. The only thing that was quite good was her excellent body proportions, with harmonious proportions between her legs and upper body.
There's not much to teach in terms of weight loss; she herself was fatter than Xiao Qi.
Li Dan assessed Xiao Qi and quickly devised a teaching strategy.
She didn't plan to help Xiao Qi lose weight but rather to "gain" weight in the right places.
Her buttocks weren't round or perky enough, her breasts were too flat, her waistline wasn't slim enough, and there were no dimples on her waist...
Li Dan was quite confident about her own figure. She belonged to the fit and beautiful category.
Xiao Qi finished her run, feeling invigorated and refreshed. She had also been listening to various English and Japanese programs, so when her coach arrived, it was a good opportunity to switch gears.
The biggest takeaway for Xiao Qi this month wasn't that she suddenly became smarter, but rather that she had learned the importance of execution and trusting others.
In the past, she had been somewhat ignorant about her own abilities. Like some students who disliked certain teachers and deemed their teaching skills inadequate, Xiao Qi would also lose interest in class and put less effort into the assignments given by such teachers.
Little did she know, this behavior wasn't a form of revenge against underqualified teachers. Though these teachers may constantly complain about their students' poor performance, in reality, they were just doing their job. For the students, however, the real loss was in their own learning and personal growth. It was their own development and education that suffered, not the teachers'.
During this period, Xiao Qi herself became a teacher and gained a deeper understanding of this principle.
Therefore, whenever she had the opportunity to learn, she would approach it with great seriousness and effort.
While Coach Li's teaching may have seemed simple and monotonous, Xiao Qi followed his instructions meticulously, without cutting corners. She had high execution ability and performed the exercises with precision.
Leg lifts, squats, glute bridges, chest contractions...
And standing against the wall...
Well, even these seemingly simple movements turned out to be quite tiring after practicing them. They weren't as easy as they initially appeared, and Xiao Qi felt a bit sore.
Especially when it came to standing against the wall, Xiao Qi used to have a habit of hunching her shoulders. Although she had been given a temporary boost through a systematic approach, that boost only lasted for a while. Daily habits are formed over time, and there was still some room for improvement.
She thought standing against the wall would be easy, but it turned out to be quite exhausting. Xiao Qi had to put on her headphones and continue listening to Japanese language tutorials.
Li Dan watched his student diligently following his instructions without cutting any corners, executing the movements flawlessly. However, when he heard her uttering some gibberish, he was taken aback.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm learning Japanese along with the audio."
Li Dan:...
Her lessons with Li Dan usually lasted for about an hour and a half. After completing the exercises, he would say, "We're almost done for today. Stretch and take a rest, then you can go and shower."
Xiao Qi stretched her body a bit, glanced at the screen, and realized that she hadn't reached her goal of 30,000 steps for the day. So she decided to finish it off by running on the treadmill.
She found an available treadmill and continued running.
Running on the treadmill felt easier, as if someone was running alongside her, almost like cheating. Her legs moved effortlessly.
But while running, she switched between English and Japanese, alternating between the two languages for learning.
Learning two languages was quite interesting, and sometimes comparing them brought her great joy.
As she watched the number of words on the screen steadily increase, she realized it had surpassed 350,000. That was the same amount the real estate agent mentioned for the price of a house. Now it seemed like she had enough money, but there were still other fees and procedures involved in buying a house. Xiao Qi felt that converting this money into a house would bring her more peace of mind.
Furthermore, that house belongs to a school called Yi Zhong, and it has a small courtyard with a garden at the entrance. It feels great in every aspect, even though it's a bit old. Xiao Qi still likes it very much.
While running, she wondered if she could negotiate the price.
Alternatively, she could ask someone for help to go and have a look together.
Xiao Qi thought of Teacher Zhou, whom she had attended a music concert with before. She felt that Teacher Zhou seemed aloof on the surface, but in reality, she was a pretty nice person. Asking her for help should work.
She continued running while contemplating.
Meanwhile, Li Dan, who had just finished taking a shower, saw that the new student she had recently enrolled was still on the treadmill, drinking from a water bottle and spraying water all over the place.
"What's wrong?" her colleague asked.
"Nothing," Li Dan shook her head and stayed silent. In her mind, she thought, this girl would probably be a champion whether she went swimming or running. Her endurance is remarkable.
