As soon as I listen sensei's word, I "wear" a serious look into my face and say out loudly :
"I have to do this !!!"
I begin by doing some stretching 1st. Then I start my 1st lap and as I am running I tell myself to never give up. I continued to run and run and run. After each lap I was starting to feel more and more tired, but getting tired was not why I am here. I continued to run, even though my legs didn't want to. I run till 1000 laps were completed, and after that got in front of my sensei.
"Sensei, I finished the running laps. I am taking a 2 minutes break till I start the upside down laps."
Two minutes passed, and I stand up. I firstly begin stretching in order to somehow relax my muscles. After that I put my hands on the ground and push firmly towards it. The I rise my legs and start staying vertically for a bit. I do some upside down pushups to "unrust" my joints. Then I start walking upside down. During the walk, I was feeling blood getting on my head and my vision fading to black, but still, it was a task that I had to complete. It was not the strength that was keeping me do these exercises, but my will to complete this training. As soon as I finish the 100th lap, I start walking towards the place where sensei was standing. After taking some deep breaths, I tell to my sensei :
"Sensei, I finished the upside down laps, now I shall take a 5 minutes break, I can't see anything, my vision almost faded to black while I was performing the exercise ..."
The 5 minutes break was over, and I had to start the two other remaining exercises. Because my body had gone through a lot during the previous exercises, it now felt lighter and the pain was almost gone. Now I knew that I had to do the pushups. I start by stretching again to relax my muscles. Immediately after that, I get into position and stretch my body perfectly for the pushups to be performed correct. Time was passing and at one point I felt like giving up, but this was not the time to give up. I continued doing the pushups, even though the stress on my shoulders was high. It was like having to lift a tank. I couldn't feel my arms and shoulders anymore, but I kept doing the pushups. After performing the last pushup, I saw that a big pond of water was beneath me. It wasn't really a pond, but instead, that was my sweat that I had shed during the pushups. I hardly get on my feet and stood in front of sensei :
"Hope that was done correct. Next I'm going for the situps, but first I need to take a small break."
After relaxing for some time, I stand up, and "wear" my serious look on my face again. I lay down on my back and put hands under my head, and strengthen my legs. I then continue doing the situps. During midway, my body was starting to feel heavy. It was as the earth's gravity was staring to multiply by hundreds. But that was nothing compared to what I had gone through the previous exercises, so I kept going even though at one point I couldn't my body entirely. But I continued performing the situps until the end, until I didn't have any sweat left. I then stood up, and saw that I now had a six pack. After all this training I felt like I was reborn anew, thanks to my sensei, even though it was just the beginning of our training ...
