さて、最後のクラスの今日は『温泉体操』なるものでウォームアップをやりました。やり方は単純で、相撲の四股を踏むような体勢で上半身を上げ下げするというものです。温泉に入っている時に、肩をお湯から出したり入れたりする動作に似ていることから付いた名が温泉体操。くぅ、キッツー。このメタボの体を支える太ももが悲鳴をあげています。そりゃあ、80キロのお肉をこんな変な体勢で2分間も上げ下げしてりゃあ、悲鳴の一つも出ますわな。柔道でも同じ事をやらされたのに、ここ5年間の不摂生で体がすっかりナマっております。ああ、歳はとりたくないわぁ。(というか、そのお肉をなんとかしなさいっちゅーの)
カオルさん、この5週間、本当にありがとうございました。これが最後の初心者クラスですが、今度は中級者クラスでお世話になります。
This is the last class. We warmed up with "Onsen Taiso" (Hot-spring exercise). The movement is quite simple. Open the legs and sink the hip down like a sumo wrestler and move the upper body up and down. The movement is like a person going in and out of a hot spring. Shoot, this exercise is so really tough and my quads were giving up on me lifting up and down this metabolic body. Oh well, it is no mystery in getting tired so quickly. I was lifting up and down 200 pounds of meat in such an awkward posture for two minutes. I did the same thing when I was doing judo, but five years of being a couch-potato killed the muscle and the fighting spirit that I used to possess. I am growing old alright. Growing up? I don't know. Before talking about growing, I have to do something about this meat.
Kaoru-san, thank you very much for last five weeks. This is the last beginner's class but I will continue taking your lessons on the intermediate class.
