Chapter Twelve [Fate Fitness]

Guo Xu has a well-proportioned figure, not very strong muscles, and naturally lacks strength. If he is 10CM higher, it is easier to be a model than a basketball player. He always gives people a light feeling when playing basketball. With his light weight, he can easily grab the basket with both hands, but he cannot dunk.

His endurance is also very average. Except for the team's normal training class, he never practices fitness to grow taller.

Jason Richardson doesn't practice much, his height and strength come from heredity. He went to school late, was born on January 20, 1981, nearly one year older than Guo Xu, who was born on November 24, and this year he is only 19. But judging from physical fitness, Richardson can beat 90% of the NBA players.

It is a miracle that people like Richardson cannot play in the NBA. Because of this, he is not a hard-working person, and laziness restricts his upper limit. Guo Xu is really envious, jealous and hateful to this genius friend.

When signing the contract, Guo Xu made the waiter look at him with admiration. He generously paid the maximum tip of 20%, and came out of the hotel with the waiter's blessing.

In the afternoon, the two visited local attractions and talked about training plans. Guo Xu gave himself a vacation and officially started training tomorrow.

He still didn't dream that night. He closed his eyes and opened his eyes. On April Fool's Day, it was about 6 o'clock. He found the ballpoint pen and notepad, first recorded the number of days of cycle, and then wrote down the plan he made yesterday.

As usual, he asked Richardson to have breakfast and went to train together, and performed averagely in group confrontation.

After having dinner with his teammates, Guo Xu did not go out with everyone, nor did he invite Richardson to spend the two-person world talking about the cycle, so he went to the city's fitness center "Life Time Fitness".

You can’t do exercise randomly, and someone will not ruin your body shape training. Guo Xu also went to the gym in his previous life. He often saw deformed people with super wide shoulders, thick arms, and almost no neck bragging about how many kilograms of bench presses they can. So what if that body shape is strong? There are no sports suitable for participation except weightlifting.

Guo Xu chose a chain gym, which is high-end, complete with great functions and great venue space. The membership fee here is very expensive. In addition to a full set of sports and fitness equipment, there are also food courts, beauty salons, children's clubs, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and courts, etc. The equipment environment is very good. Because the space requirements are large, it is not open in the city center where every inch of land is valuable, and it is not far from the small hotel that is staying in Michigan.

In his two lives, Guo Xu had never been to such a high-end fitness club, but when he thought that he was not a mortal and had superpowers, he was confident. He carried his backpack and walked towards the front desk with his chest outstretched.

A confident person has extraordinary demeanor. Even if Guo Xu is dressed normally, no one will underestimate him.

The female employee came forward and asked, "Good afternoon, sir, is there anything you can serve you?"

Guo Xu revealed his identity: "I am a student of the Michigan State University basketball team. I come here to play the NCAA Final Four. I have a holiday this afternoon. I want to do some sports. What short-term services can you provide?"

The female employee smiled and said, "Of course, we will make a fitness plan for customers based on their interests, including a one-time experience. We arrange a professional personal fitness coach for each customer. Because everyone's situation is different, the personal trainer will help you find a suitable exercise equipment and specific usage methods to help you achieve your fitness goals."

Guo Xu nodded: "It sounds good, why do you charge?"

The female employee replied: "We implement a membership system here. If you do not apply for a membership, you will charge $50 per time. So, I suggest you spend $100 to join the club. Members are also available in chain stores in other cities."

Guo Xu made a decision without considering it. "I will go back to Michigan on the 4th, and there is no branch there, so I won't apply for a membership today, so I will charge a single fee."

A single project is suitable for Guo Xu. As long as he continues to cycle time, tomorrow is April Fools' Day, the information form will be filled in in vain and he will return to the state he was before payment, so he will not do useless work.

After paying $50, Guo Xu entered the gym. A middle-aged white coach with Sichuan-shaped characters between his eyebrows and looked bitter and revengeful to follow him.

Even though he was here to experience it in name, the fitness coach also explained the precautions in detail, including more than a dozen items, including diet before exercise, eating less fried meat, not smoking and drinking, and having to warm up. He had to supplement sports drinks and water for a while, and stretch the whole body muscles after exercise to reduce late muscle pain the next day, etc.

He followed the coach to the body measurement room. The body side instrument used the electrical impedance of the body organ to measure various components, muscle content, fat content and other indicators in his body. Finally, a data was printed out, with a comprehensive score, which was a score for body metabolism. Guo Xu's fat content was 10% good, and he could reach the average level of NBA professional players with a score of 80. The coach customized a fitness plan for him.

There is nothing to be proud of. Most of the people who come here to exercise are ordinary people, and there are no sports stars. 80 points means that Guo Xu is healthy and strong and full of vitality in terms of the physical level of ordinary people. His weight of 73 kilograms is enough to get a low fat content in the NBA, even if he is in a low state of confrontation, he will suffer.

Guo Xu was very busy when practicing, and he seemed to be in a state of not exhausting himself. He did all the projects arranged by the coach, exercised muscles in various positions of his body, and stayed in the fitness area for three hours.

Guo Xu felt that he had enough energy to do so, so he decided to practice more. The coach did not stop him. He just smiled and said, "Although an excessive exercise may enhance strength, it will cause great harm to the body. If you don't practice more, your whole body may be sore and your arms cannot be lifted."

The coach's tone was a little disdainful. He guessed that Guo Xu did his best because he felt sorry for the money he had experienced.

"I want to do a test and I have to practice like this. If I feel sore tomorrow, I will definitely not do this again in the future." Guo Xu said, and went to practice "sitting and rowing".

"Aren't you going to play in the NCAA semi-final tomorrow? How do you play in fitness like this?" the coach asked curiously.

"The semi-finals are not a matter... If you don't make progress in fitness for three days, it's a big deal... Then I will consider giving up playing basketball and doing something else." Guo Xu said while exercising.

He wanted to see what would happen if he woke up after he was exhausted. The coach couldn't understand his thoughts, and he didn't plan to explain. The next time the two met, they were still strangers.

I exercised until dark until Guo Xu took the car away. The taste was like a high fever of 40 degrees, shortness of breath and weak all over.

He went to a fine restaurant to treat himself to a lobster meal, and staggered back to the hotel room at half past nine. Jason Richardson had sent him several text messages.

"Guo, where have you been? Have you gone out to wander around?"

"I'm going to exercise, I want to become stronger." Guo Xu didn't say about going to the gym, took off his clothes and leaned on the bed, and didn't want to move.

Richardson looked at his listless look and said sweating: "You won't practice for a whole afternoon, right? Will you recover tomorrow?"

"Maybe."

"Tomorrow is mainly to adapt to the venue, and there should be no group confrontation. The training volume is not large. You should rest well and just have the strength tonight." Richardson smiled.

"yes."

"..." Richardson felt that Guo Xu had practiced too much and was too lazy to say anything. He would definitely not be able to fight tomorrow.
