Brynhild was doing her thing at the gym... She would train as hard as she could to get herself back into fighting shape, especially after losing a match against her friend... In a match that she never lost in mind you.
That bitter defeat has her pushing her limits to reach a peak level that she feels will be perfect for her to make a run at the titles that are up for grabs... As she drops the weight bar that is at 375 pounds to the mat and goes to get a drink of water to cool down.
Ruby figured now would be a good time to get some work done at the gym. Considering that it was on her weekly plan. If she didn’t do it today, Ruby would just never do it. So forcing herself to go would be the best bet. But the gym is honestly a scary place. So many people lifting Ruby’s weight x5 or even more. It was even more terrifying to think that Ruby could even end up fighting one of these hulks.
Taking a deep breath and knowing there is no time like the present. Ruby went on to find a suitable place to start working out. Seeing a open station, Ruby figured what better place to start. Still Ruby being Ruby she didn’t want to be stepping on anyone’s toes. So she looked around to find the person using this station. Didn’t take long for Ruby to find a behemoth of a woman, with a intense look on her face drinking water. Ummm…Sooo…Hiii…Are you done using this? Ruby nervously stumbled on her words before speeding through what she really had to say.
Spoiler
Tossing the weight bar to the ground at the mention of someone trying to get her attention. As she looks down and sees some small girl standing in front of her mumbling out something to her, and not wanting to seem rude or mean to the small thing who looks ready to bolt at the first sign of danger in her eyes right now as she puts on a smile for her.
'What do you need, buttercup?.' she says with a grin, giving the smaller woman a cute nickname to see if that would calm her nerves down a bit. 'So what do you need help with? Or is this your first time and you want to learn how everything is done right?.' Brynhild would say and walk over to where to where she is at.
Ruby was already stressed out of her mind. She already knew people at the gym were already adrenaline filled. So it wouldn’t take much to piss someone off, just take a look at Yang. Especially when its someone as big as the woman Ruby was talking to. That being said Ruby was being careful with every word coming out of her mouth. So careful in fact that she was stumbling on her words.
The larger woman would drop the bar as she addressed Ruby. Ruby jumping up a bit as the weight connected with the floor. Despite the larger woman seemingly being nice, it wasn’t enough to stump Ruby’s anxiety. Me? Eh, I just, well you see. Ruby stammered on her words, which just let the other woman continue the conversation. Adding more to her anxiety, she walked over to Ruby. Despite all these bad signs somehow someway, Ruby was able to get out one coherent sentence. I just want to get bigger to help out with some of my flaws
Brynhild would just stand there and watch the smaller woman fumble on her words while trying to speak to her; she hasn't had this happen to her since that one time she met some fans at a meet and greet and they ran away calling her Blondzilla, which one of the agents during her stay heard about and made it her nickname during her Joshi tour.
So she knows that the smaller woman needs some time to adjust to her before making her point known, or risk having her run off like a bat out of hell. While that might be funny to see, Brynhild is not going to try and chase after anyone at this point.
"Oh, you want to learn how to work out better, right?" She asks and places her hand on the smaller woman's back, giving it a soft pat. "Sure thing, little buttercup, come on, let me show you the All-American Dream Team Work Plan," she exclaims, gently lifting Ruby up on her shoulder and carrying her over to the treadmill first. "Alright, start here first and run for 3 miles. I got it."
Thankfully Ruby was brave enough to get some words out. But the response was something she never expected in a million years. Not only was the response basically “Yes I’m down with the machine” It was almost like an invitation. Ruby would meekly nod her head at Brynhild. With a soft pat on her back Ruby was hoisted up faster than she ever has before. Now resting on Brynhild’s shoulder like a child. AHH…What are you doing. What even is a All-American Dream Team Work Plan
If Ruby didn’t have a million things to worry about right now. Ruby would definitely worry about how it would look to everyone around her being carried like this. It was almost scary how easy it was for Bryhild to lift Ruby up. The thoughts of her in the ring against Ruby was a nightmare to say the least.
Plopping down Ruby on a treadmill, Brynhild would give her first of what seemed like several directions. Just three miles? I can do that in my sleep! Ruby exclaimed as she got started, starting off slowly and quickly ramping the pace up. It didn’t take long for Ruby to nearly reach her top speed. Something that is sure to impress Brynhild. Ruby clocking it at a time way above average. Not accounting for anything else, Ruby’s speed was world class.
After her 3 miles, Ruby jumped off the treadmill with no heavy breathing whatsoever. Now what is 3 miles going to do for me?
Brynhild has her arms crossed grinning seeing the smaller woman get on the treadmill and run, nodding her head at the top speed the woman is reaching with a proud smile.
Does notice that Ruby is barely ended at all "Nice that was a good warm-up to get your legs loose... You want to keep them loosened cause a lot of the workouts on the All-American Dream Team Work Plan focus on your legs, and upper body as well. So take a drink and get ready 'cause we will be doing squats." she says while walking to collect fifty-pound dumbbell weights for the smaller woman to use.
Dropping them in front of Ruby... "Alright grab these and follow me... We will do as many as you can for one hour... Dumbell squat jumps... Go"
Ruby finished the 3 mile run like it was nothing. As if she was rushing to finish, let alone with no stamina loss. Eh I realized that, but thats hardly what I’m looking for Ruby said as Brynhild walked away from her. Not sure what to expect, Ruby was worried that she might just be thrown into fire. Something called the American Dream Team Work Plan couldn’t be so easy from the jog.
That’s when Brynhild dropped fifty pound dumbbell weights in front of Ruby. Ruby could’ve sworn it cracked the floor with how she dropped them. Fifty pounds? That’s the crazy stuff that Nora would lift, maybe Yang if she’s super into it. But Ruby? Two of those dumbbells nearly were her weight, now she was expected to lift both? Wait these? Maybe we do something else? Something lighter? Ruby said but it looks like Brynhild wasn’t budging. After all it is the American Dream Team Work Plan.
Begrudgingly Ruby would pick up the dumbbells, Oh my god! These are so HEAVY!!! How am I going to do this… Ruby strained as she just picked up one dumbbell. Following that Ruby would carefully and almost comedically pick up the second dumbbell. With that Ruby would go along with the squats. Normally Ruby would be able to jump incredibly high, a normal sky walker. Now though? Everything Ruby did felt heavy with each jump. Like her arms were going to just detach from the weight. The strain on her body was no joke either. Still sloppy or not Ruby would go about her work out.
Finishing her workout, Ruby would nearly pass out from the sheer exhaustion. Sweating absolute bullets. Ruby was laid out on the floor, her body doing everything it could to get oxygen. That’s….All…Right?….Are….We…Done?…
Brynhild can only smile and do the dumbbell lifts right beside the smaller girl. Doing these workouts when she was younger was a breeze, and even as she is now older, it is still easy for her to get back into her peak shape of toned American muscle when she is in the groove. So she gives the smaller girl some props for struggling and even doing the squats as well as she could.
No, that's not it... are you sure you're alright? You look like you're about to pass out right now. Wanna stop for now or keep going?' she asks, as she reaches down to help the smaller woman to her feet and even holds Ruby's hands behind her head. "Here this will help you breathe. Usually we would do pull-ups and then push-ups, but seeing that you need a break... I say we head to the ring and go straight to grappling. We can work on getting some strength in your arms when dealing with wrestlers bigger than you." She says and smacks Ruby on her back with a big grin on her face.
Ruby’s entire body felt like it was on fire, everything was either hurt or sore. Moving at this point was hurting a bit. How does Brynhild expect anyone to do this. Let alone someone with Ruby’s body. Despite feeling kinda scared about things Ruby forced herself through it. Even if this had to be one of the hardest things she’s ever done.
Ruby panting for air felt like this had to be the end. So when she asked Brynhild to confirm and didn’t get the answer she expected. Ruby felt her heart sinking. How…are…we not done yet? Ruby said as she looked to fix her breathing. Luckily Brynhild was nice enough to ask if Ruby wanted a break. Considering how her body was responding to the workout already. No no I can keep going! Don’t stop for me Ruby said loud and defiantly, not wanting this to be the end. She knew this was going to be hard, now it was just a matter of just getting through it.
