"Oh yeah...I remember doing it that way too," he mused as he balanced his own broom against his shoulder. "Sounds like a plan to me. And we can toss in several variations of push ups other than just the standard ones," he added.
Chuckles a little as she takes off, always pleased to see how eager she was, and soon starts his own brisk jog to catch up before flanking her side to jog with.
As she ran next to Derf, who had quickly caught up to her and would have probably blown her away in a race, she silently thanked him for keeping pace with her. He really had become a great friend, even with all the hair ruffling.
"Almost there" She announced as they rounded the last corner of the pitch. After making it back to the starting point, she walked around in a few small circles to get her heart rate back down a bit before dropping to the ground for a few leg stretches. She knew to not spend too much time sitting, but it was also best to stretch on warm muscles.
Finished with stretching and hopping to her feet, she tossed her broom a bit in the air and made it hover just above her head. High enough she needed a little hop to grasp it with both hands.
"I was thinking a pull-up then drop down to a push-up. Repeat that ten times, then maybe do set of your push-up variations?"
She bent her knees and jumped to grab the broom handle with both hands, slowly pulled herself up so her chin was just above the handle before dropping down to the ground to immediately do a push-up before hopping up once more. By her fourth round, her arms were burning and her thighs were beginning to ache as well. She hand't realized that the set would cause her to do a squat with each round.
