Kate would chuckle at the comment. "Well, I've been doing it for years and am much bigger." She said before looking at the weights for a moment. "Those were 30s, right? Let's try half that for you to start." She said grabbing the appropriate weights and handing them to the girl.

Collei blushed, realising she went at double the weight she should have. She took the proper set for her, and, this time, managed to get a full dozen on both hands, though her left hand still struggled slightly.

"Oh, that's better. Could get used to this now..." She said, feeling much more comfortable.

"Yeah, just a matter of picking the right weight. Do three sets of that every other day and you'll get more strength in those arms in no time." Kate commented with a cheerful smile before leading Collei to a different station, this time a squat rack "Ok, so, never do squats under the barbell without a spotter, in general, unless its a deadlift, don't do barbell exercises without a spotter." She started with the safety talk, it might have been tedious but it was important. "Buuuuuuut, you are small so for the time you don't need to worry about that for squats." She said before grabbing two 50-pound plates from the rack and handed one to Collei. "You grab it tight in front of your chest and go down like so, feet flat on the ground" She said, before demonstrating, the weight was far too light for her to even really feel any difference but it should be the right weight for the other girl.

Collei nodded once again and grabbed the weight. It was pretty meaty, but she was able to handle it. She spread her feet out a little to distribute her weight better, before attempting some squats. She was obviously straining over the weight, but her tenacity was enough so that she managed 9 before falling on her 10th.

"Ngh, this is tough. No wonder so many people injure themselves in training..." Collei said, passing the weight back to Kate.

Kate would take the weight and offered a hand to help Collei up to her feet. "That's why it's always better to train with a partner and pick smaller weights if you are not sure you can handle the big ones, some people are just dumb and forget that." She said setting the weights back in their place.

Then she walked to a bit of open space. "Now something safer and simpler." she said before getting into a position for a push-up and just staying in it. "You just stay like this, if it's hard, try going down to your elbows, your stomach will tense up but try holding on for 30 seconds or more."

Collei nodded. "I think I saw this before. Never actually tried it though." She replied as she got down into the position and held it for the full 30 seconds with relative ease, though she did struggle in the last few seconds. She then got back up, shaking her arms and legs a little.

"Phew, this is rather tiring. Not sure how much of this I can do in a single sitting" Collei remarked, wiping her brow with her hand.

"Just remember to not overwork yourself. You should change yourself with training but not to the point of running yourself ragged." Kate said, sitting down and looking to the greenete."Being consistent is the most important, as long as you keep a tight schedule, the results will come."

"Yeah. There comes my next concern. I am worried that I am going to be often paired against opponents I am simply not skilled enough to beat. Or opponents that are far too big or strong for me. I dont want to be putting on a bad show either..." Collei replied, looking a little concerned.

At this point, Huan chimed in again. "The size can be an issue for sure, you'll just have to focus on your skill instead of strength but fighting someone bigger is never easy." She said before pausing for a breath and continuing. "I don't think skill will be an issue though. You are new and already doing good, add that you learn quickly on top and I think you'll be just fine." She finished, reaching to Collei's hair agan and ruffling it a bit.

Collei closed her eyes and let out a soft giggle as Huan ruffled her hair, making it bush up a little bit, as if she had just been zapped with electricity.

"Yeah. Just have to focus on my training, and sparring with whoever I meet from now onwards. No point dwelling on the future when I have the present to think about." Collei replied, mending her hair the best she could.
