The enemy of my enemy is my friend

[The Riders]

Thereisa scoffs a bit after hearing what Alaina just said to her. "This is from the woman who always looking for a challenge and competition." she replies back with a lot of sass in her voice. Giving her partner a smirk with her arms crossed catching her breath, even a small smile starting to form on her face watching Alaina throw the dummy around.

Following and making her way over to the punching bag, debating on what to use to strike the bag with. Holding her tongue before asking in her mind a most embarrassing question. "Be honest with me... What did the most damage to you? my Stardust kick.... or my punches I threw at you?" wanting to know before starting out figuring she can start training in building up in different areas.

Alaina thought about it for a minute. "The kick. It was a hard shot to the head anything like that will leave someone laid out." Alaina said as she stood ready to watch as Cyberwidow went to town on the big bag. "All right, now just go at it. Two minutes as hard as you can with as many strikes as you can. This is also aimed to build up your endurance and enhance your in-ring performance when you are already worn out from a long match." Alaina reminded her, eager to see what she could do.

[The Riders]

"Alright then...Good to know." Thereisa replies back walking up to the bag deciding on what she going to work on first. Turning to face the bag as she starts to throw her elbow into the bag. But adding her own twist to it as she spins throwing a spinning back elbow strike to the punching bag. Even popping her hips to get added force into the blow for two straight minutes.

Alaina watched as Cyberwidow kept hammering away at the dummy. She held up well for a two minute stretch on the dummy especially after all they did before. After she was done Alaina nodded to her and stepped up herself. "Strikes don't seem to wear you down as much as flying around the ring. I think I know what we need to work on later." Alaina said as she stepped up to the bag. She began with a few punches straight, then forearms, then kicks and knees. The first minute went by and Alaina was feeling the sweat cover her body. Two minutes of hitting as hard as you could really did wear down a wrestler. Alaina then did a series of combo's repeating it time and time again as quickly as she could with all the force she could muster. Soon her two minutes were done and she was looking around the gym.

"Okay.... we each do one more round of strikes here this time three minutes straight then we will move over to some lifting." Alaina said stepping away from the punching bag and letting Cyberwidow go back at it.

[The Riders]

Letting out a pant and rubbing her sore elbow from striking the bag so hard. Shaking it to get some feeling back into it as she wipes the sweat from her brow and watches Alaina do her thing. Seeing how far the bag is swinging from the Amazon blows before seeing her launch a combo fury before the two minutes are up. That fire to push herself to hit harder is back and wanting to see if she could hit hard or more then the Amazon could.

"Care to make it more interesting?. Thereisa says taking her spot in front of the back but a distance away. "Three minutes my kicks against your punches and the final strike we hit as hard as we can." she grins starting to enjoy this another rare smile starting to form on her face as she pops her hips and throws her right leg for a round house kick to the bag. Putting a lot of power and force behind each kick getting the full extension and impact.

Before the time is almost up Thereisa steps forwards twisting her body and slams the spinning back round kick to the bag. Showing off the Stardust Kick to Alaina, but as a sign of try and top this she keeps the pose and full extension turning and giving Alaina a smile like smirk 'Your turn.."

[Highfly]

Alaina listened as Cyberwidow again seemed to have her pride getting in her way. Alaina wondered what happened to force her to even ask for help? "You do realize kicks use larger muscle groups and movement, all things being equal they always hit harder than a punch if they impact the same part of an opponent?" Alaina said. "This is to make you better. Striking for minutes on end is exhausting and keeping at it will help you in matches to simulate effective offense when you are spent. But if it somehow helps I will humor you." Alaina said.

Alaina had no key punch. She had a diving lariat that could make women flip in the air when hit but against a big bag that was attached at the top and base that just wasn't possible thanks to physics. Alaina stepped up and punched away trying to hit as hard as she could but changing up the spots she struck the bag. She was hitting fast, hitting hard and using this to be as accurate as possible, simulating hard punches to key spots to get through an opponents guard. Her final strike was a lunging clothesline as no punch could really match force with a kick and she had no signature punch or anything aside from a hard uppercut but that was a strike that did not function well against punching bags, you needed a gloved partner with the pad facing down to really work on those.

"Ok, so I am going to ask one more time. Are you going to actually try to improve yourself or just use this as a way to massage your damaged ego? If you really want to get better then come back to the ring with me." Alaina said as she made it back to the ring. She pulled out two dummies this time each one weighing 200 pounds. Alaina bent down, grabbing it and lifting it up across her shoulders for a fireman carry position. "Ok, get yours and lift it up. We will be walking around the ring, doing squats, doing lunges and every so often doing a sprint. You need to be able to be agile or move while holding up an opponent and this will help you with that."

[The Riders]

"Beside my bruised and damaged ego aside this is the most fun I had in the ring since I was..." she cuts herself off before going quiet, a small frown appearing on her face as she follows Alaina back into the ring glaring at the training dummy. Letting out a deep breath and grunt lifting the dummy onto her back, and starts to do the lunges around the ring feeling the strain on her muscles.

Thereisa groans out starting to sprint with the heavy 200 pound dummy bag on her back, feeling the strain and effort to even keep going with the training. Each step feels like her legs are on fire, her back muscles tighten from lunging and keeping the dummy on her back, but another small smile starts to appear on her face as she takes a peek at Alaina and sees how well she is doing. Deciding to speed up and go as hard and fast as she can, before stopping and tossing the bag off her back.

"....Huff.... not bad... so this is what I should have been doing when I was younger huh?. she leans against the ring ropes to catch her breath thinking about everything so far, the loss the media making mention that she over the hill and done. Or worst that her finisher is one the weakest in the heavyweight class, that sends a anger inside of her but she sighs and plays it off not wanting to ruin the most fun she had in a long time. "Beside me wanting to improve and yes heal some of my ego your right about that one. I need to get better at my level I hit Astrid with three of my Frankensteiner's and she still kicked out. So yes my plan with you was to show you up and get some take of small victory, but your becoming alright in my book. I only have 1 person who I trust and she got me through a rough part of my life, and your a close second Alaina..."

Walking forward and holds out her hand to the smaller woman a smile on her face. " Thereisa Niedermeyer and let's continue I'm having a lot of fun.

[Highfly]

Alaina worked her way through and as the two women were taking a break Alaina actually smiled as Cyberwidow spoke. "Well Thereisa I am glad to hear it and seeing this side of you is refreshing." Alaina said with a grin as she shook Theresa's hand. "We will get to work on that. Your finisher is not a brute force finisher. Your finisher is at its best when it is unexpected, used quickly and decisively. That type of move is hard to make 'stronger' since it is more momentum based and speed. Adding snap and quickness will help your finisher more than power. Today I am hammering endurance because you need to be able to perform at peak level even when you are exhausted in the ring." Alaina said before looking back inside the ropes.

"We have another five minutes of ring ropes before doing pushups, sit-ups and then ending it with some stretching. I can keep coming up with good workouts for you and I am more than happy to meet you here at the gym whenever you need." Alaina said with a wink. "And... I will need help if I am ever going to get that title belt from Astrid too."

[The Riders]

Thereisa smirks deciding to grip Alaina hand tightly at the mention of her taking the title belt off Astrid. "Oh you mean when I take it off of her huh... beside we did make magic in that hell in a cell... I do need to even up our score since it right now 3-1 in your favor." another smile on her face at the challenge of fighting Alaina again. Someone who minus the height disadvantage is able to hit her with the force of a tank, and the only way to prove that she should be kept in the title hunt... she would have to defeat Alaina fair and square in the ring.

Nodding her head in agreement before doing more ring rope. enjoying the time being spent reminding her of days when she and her ex husband would train together.. but focusing on finishing her workout. "After the push ups I want to test something if that fine with you? starting to ut some kind of trust in her work partner.

[Highfly]

"That is the score but you really run the risk of falling to 4-1 if we face off again." Alaina said before listening to the rest of what Cyberwidow had to say. After a moment Alaina decided she was up for whatever Thereisa wanted to try as she had been doing whatever it was Alaina asked her to do. "Once we finish up what I have absolutely. Let us get to running the ropes and doing the rest and we will do whatever it is you want." Alaina said as she climbed up into the ring and began to run the ropes looking over at Thereisa as she went.

Curiosity got the best of her as she reached the five minute mark pausing to catch her breath again before getting into sit up position. "So.... what is it you wanted to do?"
