Team ARMS Volume 3

Initiate Training

Outside of Vale, 10 Weeks Before The Vytal Festival

Team ARMS were training for the Vytal Festival, each member were taking turns being charge of certain excersises, mostly Ash. They always start off by jogging around the plains.

Scarlet: (while running) Come on guys, Move those skinny legs, put your toes into it.

Then, Some tai chi and meditation.

Ash: Strength is not born from strength. Strength can be born only from weakness. So be glad of your weaknesses now, they are the beginnings of your strength. Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.
Focus on your character, not your reputation.
Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes.

Then, Martial Art Practice

Scarlet and Mark were sparring with only their hands and feet.

Raptor: Strength training and conditioning help improve your performance. Martial arts will definitely build your physical strength.

Ash: However, it will also make you a mentally tougher person. This is because you will face all kinds of training obstacles that will be difficult to overcome.

Then, Some push up and ab crunches

Raptor: (while doing push up and ab crunches with his teammates) Like situps, crunches help you build muscle. But unlike situps, they work only the abdominal muscles. This intense muscle isolation makes them a popular exercise for people trying to get six-pack abs. This also makes them ideal for strengthening your core, which includes your lower back muscles and obliques.
