Achim Bachar was waiting for her.

"You're late". He stated with a tone that would suggest he was slightly annoyed.

"I was stretching". Ziva replied shortly.

Achim clicked his tongue disapprovingly. "You can stretch at home. Not now". He told her. "You train here, you stretch at home. Understood?"

"Yes sir". Ziva said automatically.

Achim Bachar smiled. "Good". He made his way over to chair, and sat down. His tennis shoes on the wooden floor squeaked a little. "Push-up position on your knuckles. Now".

With lighting fast speed, Ziva dropped into the push-up position on her knuckles.

"Jump in that position across the floor and back. Do not stop until your knuckles bleed. You understand? If they do not bleed, you aren't working hard enough. Go".

With clenched teeth, Ziva jumped across the hard wooden floor. Her knuckles stung at the impact, but she refused to have the discomfort show on her face. If Ziva showed any pain, Achim Bachar got extremely physical.

She made her way across the floor and back. Achim ordered her to stop, and show her knuckles. They were red and raw, but not bleeding. He ordered Ziva to do it again.

This time, Ziva felt tiny drops blood trickle down her knuckles and into the hardwood floor below.

"Stop!" Achim ordered her again. "Knuckles".

Ziva stopped and sat on the floor as she showed Achim her knuckles. He nodded approvingly, and ordered her lay on her back.

He hovered over her, and gave her the next part of his instruction. "Fifty crunches. Go".

Ziva started her crunches. She counted out loud. "One".

She was surprised with Achim hit her squarely in the abdomen. "Two". Achim hit her again. "Three". This time, Achim kicked her in the side. Ziva skid across the floor from the impact of Achim's foot to her side, but she gritted her teeth and kept going.

She really hated that part of the training.

Let me just say that jumping on your knuckles is really painful 😬 I have to do it once a week to build up pain resistance skills
