Haraldur watched the group go through their stretching. He hovered around them, giving out encouragements or minor corrections to their posture. Once the students had performed their given instructions and the last few finished their Body Circles, the flying instructor hovered back in front of the group again. ”Very good everyone. I hope you're feeling warm and ready to move on. Once the mental preparations are done and the general warm up and stretching is completed; professional athletes go through a specific warm up. This aims to target the muscles you intend to exercise for the remainder of your workout.” He gestured towards some of the Beaters present. ”If you’re a Beater, you know you should spend this part of the workout on your arms, especially the one hitting the Bludgers.” He slowly began hovering back and forth again in front of the group as he continued. ”Some of you told me you like to go swimming, this part of the warm up should then be devoted to the muscles in your back and shoulders. Joggers,” He nodded to a few who’d mentioned this type of workout, ”could focus stretching their quadriceps or thigh muscles."

But since they were all very different..."After the specific warm up, they move on to the main part of the exercise, which is what we’ll be focusing on now.” He clasped his hands in front of him as he continued. ”Since we’re not professional athletes,” *cough yet *cough*. ”We’ll be doing something everyone has use for; cardio.” If his hearing was a little better, he’d probably hear a groan coming from the group. But his hearing was reduced from the many Bludgers he’d been hit with which was why he was blissfully unaware of the possible discontent and continued. ”We’re doing two different exercises, twice.” We as in them. Obviously. He walked over to the supplies he usually brought from the Broomshed, including school brooms and Quidditch equipment. With one swift movement of his wand retrieved from inside his winter robe, he levitated small, bright orange cones to place themselves in 7 neatly rows, ranging from where the group of students were standing down to the far end of the pitch.

”The first exercise,” He said, looking over his shoulder at the group again. ”Is to, as quickly as possible, move in between these cones, zig-zagging just like you practiced in the warm up, all the way down to the end of the pitch and back again. Once you’re back here…” Haraldur put the wand back inside his robes and dismounted his broom (a rare sight). ”You dismount but let your broom hover in the air next to you at around knee height, maybe a little higher. You are then to use your broom as an obstacle, jump over it and then rooooll under it back to your original position.” Now, if only he was athletic enough to actually demonstrate that. He wasn’t. But he could point and gesture with his hands to emphasize his point, which is what he did. ”When you’ve done this 5 times, you do the zig-zagging pattern again. Every time you do it, I want you to push yourself to do it even faster, turn sharper, be even more agile. Every time you do the broom jumping, I want your broom to hover a bit heigher, drop to the ground a bit faster than the previous time.” A little snow never hurt anybody. Only a few. ”The point of this practice is your chance to challenge yourself physically and to improve your flying when it’s incorporated with physical challenges. After this cardio practice, we’ll move on to the final part of a professional workout which is the cool down and then I’ll fill you in on the long-term assignment.” Questions? Yes? No?

”Everybody ready?” He grabbed the horn. ”GO!”

ooc: Yo. Time to pick up the pace a little with some cardio. Oh, mon dieu - nah, it’ll be fine. <3

This activity will also be divided into 2 parts.

Main activity 1st part:
2 practices:
- zig-zag between the small orange cones placed in 7 long lines across the pitch. They’re placed quite close together so be sure to fly as fast you can without missing one.
- Dismount. Let your broom hover in the air and make a high jump over it to the other side. Drop to the ground and roll back under it. Do 5 of these before the zig-zag again.

You have 2 days, until the 8th of June, 8 pm CET 3 days until the 9th of June 3-5 pm CET to get that pulse going before we move on to the second part of the main activity.

((also; we see all of you people stretching. looking good. we happy and proud))
