Beginner-Friendly Yoga Routine: Build Strength, Flexibility, and Balance

If you're new to yoga and looking to build strength, flexibility, and balance, you've come to the right place! Starting your yoga practice as a beginner can feel daunting, but with the right beginner yoga routine, it can be an exciting and transformative journey. Yoga is not just about bending and stretching your body—it's about creating a deep connection between your mind and body while improving overall health and well-being. In this blog, we’ll introduce you to a beginner-friendly yoga routine that will help you build strength, flexibility, and balance, along with tips on how to start yoga and incorporate the practice into your daily life.

Why Start Yoga?

Yoga offers numerous benefits, making it a perfect practice for people of all ages and fitness levels. Some of the main benefits include:

Improved flexibility: Yoga helps lengthen and stretch muscles, leading to improved flexibility over time.

Increased strength: Many yoga poses require you to use your body weight for resistance, which helps build strength, particularly in your core, arms, and legs.

Better balance and posture: Yoga’s emphasis on alignment helps you develop better posture and balance, which can improve your overall stability.

Stress relief: By focusing on mindful breathing and gentle movement, yoga helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress.

With these benefits in mind, let's dive into a beginner yoga routine that will help you start building strength, flexibility, and balance, all while learning the yoga basics for beginners.

How to Start Yoga: Tips for Newbies

If you're wondering how to start yoga as a complete beginner, here are some important tips to get you on the right track:

Create a Comfortable Practice Space: Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can practice without distractions. All you need is a yoga mat or a soft surface, but if you don’t have one, you can use a towel or a carpeted floor.

Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose clothes that allow freedom of movement. You don’t need fancy gear—just something stretchy and comfortable to wear.

Focus on Your Breath: Breath is key in yoga. Inhale deeply through your nose, filling your lungs, and exhale slowly. This helps you stay centered and mindful throughout your practice.

Start Slow: Don’t feel pressured to do advanced poses right away. Begin with a simple yoga routine, and gradually build up your practice as you feel more comfortable.

Listen to Your Body: Yoga is about listening to your body and moving with intention. If a pose feels uncomfortable, it’s okay to adjust or skip it. Over time, your body will become more flexible and stronger.

Consistency is Key: Practice regularly, even if it’s just for 15-20 minutes a few times a week. The more consistent you are, the more progress you’ll make.

A Simple Yoga Routine for Beginners

Now, let's get into a beginner-friendly yoga routine that’s perfect for building strength, flexibility, and balance. These beginner yoga poses are simple but effective, helping you develop a solid foundation for your practice. You can do this routine in about 20–30 minutes.

1. Mountain Pose (Tadasana)

Mountain Pose is the starting point for any yoga session. Stand tall with your feet together, engaging your legs and lifting through your chest. Keep your arms at your sides, with palms facing forward. Focus on grounding your feet and lengthening your spine. This pose may seem simple, but it’s essential for developing body awareness and alignment.

2. Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

Start in a tabletop position with your hands and knees on the mat. Lift your hips up and back, creating an inverted "V" shape with your body. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart, and your feet should be hip-width apart. Keep your arms straight and your legs active, stretching your hamstrings and lower back. Downward-Facing Dog is a great pose for stretching and strengthening the entire body.

3. Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana)

From a tabletop position, move between two positions: on the inhale, arch your back and lift your chest and tailbone (Cow Pose), and on the exhale, round your back, tucking your chin and drawing your belly button towards your spine (Cat Pose). This gentle flow helps to mobilize the spine, release tension, and increase flexibility in the back.

4. Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I)

Step one foot forward between your hands, bending your front knee to form a 90-degree angle. Your back leg should remain straight, and your arms should reach up overhead with your palms facing each other. Warrior I strengthens your legs, opens your hips, and builds stability in your core. Hold for 5–10 breaths before switching sides.

5. Tree Pose (Vrksasana)

Tree Pose is a balance challenge that also strengthens the legs and core. Start by standing tall in Mountain Pose, then shift your weight onto one leg. Bring the sole of your opposite foot to your inner thigh or calf (never on the knee), and bring your hands to your heart in prayer position or extend them overhead. Hold the pose for a few breaths, focusing on your balance and stability.

6. Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana)

Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you. Inhale to lengthen your spine, then exhale as you gently fold forward, reaching for your feet or shins. This pose stretches your hamstrings and lower back. If you can’t reach your feet, feel free to keep a slight bend in your knees. The goal is to gently stretch and release tension in the body.

7. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Press your feet into the floor as you lift your hips toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes and engaging your core. Keep your shoulders and head on the mat. Bridge Pose strengthens the back, glutes, and legs while opening the chest and improving posture.

8. Savasana (Corpse Pose)

End your practice by lying flat on your back with your legs extended and arms by your sides, palms facing upward. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Savasana is the ultimate relaxation pose, allowing your body to absorb the benefits of your practice and calm your nervous system.

Benefits of Regular Yoga Practice

Incorporating a beginner yoga routine into your weekly routine offers numerous benefits, such as:

Increased strength: Through poses like Warrior I and Bridge Pose, you’ll strengthen your legs, arms, and core.

Improved flexibility: Regular practice helps lengthen and stretch muscles, which improves flexibility, especially in your hamstrings, back, and hips.

Better balance: Poses like Tree Pose and Downward-Facing Dog help improve stability and coordination, which carry over into your daily life.

Stress reduction: Yoga’s emphasis on mindfulness and breathwork helps calm the mind and reduce stress.

Enhanced posture: Yoga promotes proper alignment, which can improve posture and reduce back and neck pain.

Conclusion: Starting Yoga with Confidence

A beginner-friendly yoga routine is the perfect way to start building strength, flexibility, and balance, regardless of your fitness level. By incorporating simple yet effective yoga exercises and focusing on the yoga basics for beginners, you’ll establish a strong foundation for your practice and enjoy all the benefits yoga has to offer.

Remember that starting yoga practice is about taking it one step at a time. Practice consistently, listen to your body, and enjoy the process. Yoga is a journey, and with each session, you’ll notice positive changes in your body and mind. So grab your mat, take a deep breath, and start your yoga journey today!

[monsters] New Year's resolution

monsters x human!Reader Good to know: no warnings

Summary: Your New Year's resolution leads to a very intense week in the gym.

“She is the one.”

Kiron frowns. His dark eyes scan through the crowd, searching. “Which one?”

“That pretty girl in the black sweatshirt,” Diran replies, nodding subtly in your direction. “She just left the reception desk.”

“Oh,” Decar hums. The deep baritone of his voice barely rises above the monotone drone of the treadmills. “And she has a membership card. She’s serious.”

Kiron snorts, crossing his muscular arms over his chest. “Yeah, so is half the city. It’s January, after all.”

Decar’s lips curl into a slow, predatory smirk, just enough to show a hint of his canines. “Well, then, let’s make sure she doesn’t quit after a week, shall we?” His vivid green eyes gleam under the bright fluorescent lights as he watches you take a tentative step closer to a row of sleek, whirring machines. Your gaze darts around, clearly lost and unsure and so blissfully unaware of their scrutiny.

“Boys,” Nara speaks up finally. Her voice cuts through the clang of weights like a pleasant melody. “You will scare her away.”

“Well, do you have a plan?” the orc asks, arching an eyebrow in challenge, though, he already knows the answer, of course. Nara always has a plan.

The succubus flashes a sharp, knowing smile that lights up her face with an air of effortless confidence. “Just watch and see.” The promise in her tone is undeniable.

It is the first Monday of the year, and the gym is full of new beginnings. The air hangs heavy with the potent mix of sweat, disinfectant from the freshly cleaned machines, and the weight of resolutions.

The guys watch as Nara strides toward you. Her steps are confident and fluid as she easily waves through the crowd. The blue yoga outfit she likes so much clings to her in all the right places. The light shade looks like the summer sky on her pastel purple skin. Her black hair is piled into a messy bun, with a matching scrunchie holding it all together.

“What do you think she’s saying to her?” Diran asks, tilting his head in curiosity.

The tiger shrugs. The black stripes on his arms flex as he adjusts his stance. “Who knows.”

“I’m surprised they still have their clothes on,” Kiron remarks teasingly. The orc watches you with amusement glinting in his dark gaze. Your wide, timid eyes remain fixed on Nara. You seem caught somewhere between awe and nervousness as your fingers fidget with the sleeve of your oversized sweatshirt.

The minotaur rolls his eyes, though his lips twitch with the ghost of a smile. “We are in public,” he points out, glancing sideways at the orc, whose knowing grin only deepens.

“Exactly,” the male replies. “You know Nara.”

“Look,” Decar interrupts, nodding toward you and Nara when the succubus turns her head ever so slightly to glance back at their group with a sly curl at the corner of her lips. Your gaze follows hers, landing on them for a brief, uncertain moment. “It’s our time, guys.”

Every part of the gym buzzes with life. Seasoned members move around the equipment with familiarity while the newcomers wander around, watching and trying to get through their “newbie” embarrassment.

“Y/N,” Nara says smoothly before any of the guys can get a word in. She gestures toward the trio with a casual wave of her hand. “These are Diran, Kiron, and Decar,” she introduces them in turn. “Guys, this is Y/N. It’s her first time here.”

“Nice to meet you, Y/N,” Diran says first in a friendly and inviting tone, and the others only nod in acknowledgment. Their imposing figures are softened by their smiles, though, Decar's is more of a smirk, and Kiron's grin has a sharpness to it, but the gesture is there.

“Y/N just told me she isn’t sure where to start with her workout.”

The orc has to bite his lip to stifle a comment, his gaze flicking from Nara to you with a glimmer of mischief. “Is that true?”

You nod a bit meekly, feeling self-conscious under the weight of their attention. “It all looks a bit overwhelming,” you admit, gesturing vaguely toward the expansive gym filled with unfamiliar equipment and bustling energy.

“It’s understandable,” Diran says with a reassuring nod. He is calm and grounded, a stark contrast to the others. “We all started somewhere.”

“That’s what I told her,” Nara interjects, flashing a grin as she effortlessly reclaims control of the conversation. “So, I offered to help her out.”

Kiron raises a brow, a sly look creeping onto his face as he exchanges a glance with the succubus. “Oh?”

“I thought we could show her some workout routines,” the woman says, her grin widening. “I don’t start my beginner class until next Monday, but if you’d like, Y/N, you can come early tomorrow, and I will give you a private yoga session.”

Decar snickers at the offer, but the low rumble of his chest gets drowned by all the noises around them. Of course Nara would claim the first opportunity to guide the sweet, wide-eyed newcomer. It’s only fair, after all. “That’s a great idea, Nara." The humor in his tone is evident.

The woman smirks at the tiger. “I know, right?”

The male crosses his arms, his tail swishing idly behind him. “I could show you some boxing moves on Wednesday,” he offers. “It’s a great way to build confidence.”

“And I can show you around the machines on Thursday,” the minotaur adds. “They can be tricky if you are new to them.”

The orc’s lips curl into a slow, dark grin. His tusks catch the bright lights from above. “And when you are all stretched and ready, we can end the week with some weightlifting on Friday.”

Random thought—

A smut fic about a gym that has two separate parts, regular and premium. You have to pay for the premium but no one really knows what the premium is about. The regulars come in during 6 am—7 pm.. then at 8 pm, the premium payers show up.

Premium payers basically have sexy times (nsfw) with their trainers or even other payers.. depending on what tier they signed up for! (Everyone consents and there are safe words for stopping)

And now I’m just imagining a reader getting fucked by a trainer who thought the reader was just a newbie who was shy about the whole fucking thing and reader is so touched starved that they go with it because…

Who wouldn’t want to get fucked by a handsome man…? And the entire fuck is also technically a work out cuz he’s a yoga instructor so he’s also making you stretch in different positions while shoving his dick inside you 🤭

And usually the instructor is used to just fucking people and not feeling anything but he gets infatuated by you and after the fuck, the next day, he has trouble getting hard with his client and has to think about you to get hard!!!

Phew!! This might be the story that gets me out of funk omg!! Tell me what you guys think!!

I’m already creating the instructor guy in my head, he’s gonna hot!!

(For Bottom male/trans masc readers like always!!)

Break Up Service - Back to the Basics

Break Up Service's color scheme is basic, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's primary colors: red, yellow, and blue, so Boss, in his darkness, sticks out.

While, strangely, Jued is quickly proving that she has what it takes to fit perfectly in this story.

She is bright. She can endure. She has moxie!

And she is moldable. Therefore she is the perfect person to fit in to her new job.

Because this red place is broken, and no matter how much the co-founder tries to put it back together, he can't get Boss back to his old self.

The company was founded on the basic premise of breaking up people beyond repair, but in the process, it began breaking people too, Boss included.

So the co-founder hires the bright and happy Jued to watch brooding and distant Boss and keep him on track.

All the employees immediately establish how Boss is the dark cloud of the office, and how he will try to kill her light. They harp on and on about his bad mood, and how the best remedy to beat the beast is to simply ignore him.

Yet this Yellow Yal cannot ignore him, and she is too bright to be ignored herself. Instead, she will slowly become the only thing he can focus on. She will become the target.

However, Boss adopts the office's procedure; he puts on his red headphones and looks at his red phone in an attempt to ignore the newbie and focus on the job because if we ignore the issues and focus on work, the things we are trying to ignore will simply go away, right?

But the problem is that Boss did not ignore her. He saw her cry after being broken up with and offered his help, and he gave her his business card. Oat, in his yellow, points this out. Everyone keeps referring to Boss as a bad guy, but here he is, a good guy. Even more, he is kind.

And since Jued has brought her own yellow stool to sit on, it's apparent she won't be going away anytime soon.

She is trying to level up in brown, so she is willing to find space even when Boss refuses to make space for her.

So the Black Brooder decides to fight fire with fire, or in this case, happy with happy, and instead of being the bad guy, he decides to appear as a good guy, a kind guy.

Thankfully, the job allows him a great opportunity to make this happen in the form of a red match made in fitness heaven.

We have physical trainer First, in his yellow, and yoga extraordinaire, in her neutrals.

And they are the perfect pair to demonstrate why the basics matter so much.

So Jued hops on the back of the Black Brooder's bike and officially begins her first assignment.

She is being initiated into the red company of broken hearts, and her first task is getting in, literally. She tries to every possible way, except the easiest — asking to get in. Basic.

After that, Boss not only monitors her progress, but also sabotages her because Jued's entire approach is one of kindness. She asks First to help her. She tries to befriend Best. She is being too nice for this dirty business.

And she doesn't turn red until she takes a play out of Boss' book. She decides to use her body to get the intel.

She is embracing the red.

And her efforts pay off, as they catch Best red-handed with durian in hand.

But the thing is, Jued didn't break the couple up by being a Red Rascal. She did it by being her usual Yellow Yal self. She went to First with kindness and told him that sometimes people lie because they don't want to hurt the ones they love, but we should make the people we love comfortable enough to tell us the truth. And this is why they break up. They lacked basic communication. They couldn't even be honest with each other.

Boss deals with dishonest people every day, so he believes he has to be part of the deceit in order to break them up.

But honesty and kindness got the job done as Jued took this breaking up business in a new direction, which is seen as she walks back to the company after the job is done.

She proved she has what it takes to work at this red company, but she did it in her own bright and colorful way.

And I think this is why we will continue to see the yellow pop up in each assignment. Jued needs to apply her special brand of moxie to breaking people up without breaking them down the way this company has been doing.

She is the opposite of Boss. She is the good guy to his bad guy. She is the bright light to Boss's dark cloud. She is the sunflower to Boss's black rose (it's on his desk).

And now Boss can't escape her. Her bright demeanor has him surrounded him. Her basic approach to breaking people up by making them see they shouldn't be together in the first place has intrigued him. He wanted to quit the red business, but now, strangely enough, without noticing, he is all in.

Because Boss is a kind guy.

He just needs someone to remind him of that basic fact.

Not a studyblr thing but I'm tentatively thinking about signing up for some yoga classes as someone who has never taken yoga before (but practiced a little at home years ago) and is a total couch potato that doesn't want to be a total couch potato anymore. Does anyone have any tips/ advice for an inexperienced newbie?

Not necessarily on yoga itself but rather on things like finding the right place I guess?

[igglemouse]

Week 1 ~ Introducing Sasi ~ Monday

I end my call with my dad because I am here to do yoga with others and the session was starting and so I find myself in what is a relatively simple room. Mats placed out for each person and a big window off to the side showcasing the beauty of Tomarang. A perfect place to stretch and get to know the limitations of your body a little better.

The room fills quickly with people just like me. Newbies. Each one taking their mat and trying to go through the motions of the mentor and most of them failing.

Failure is good. Never forget that. You learn through it but only if you live through it and the girl next to me was learning a lot more than others.

She was groaning and grunting and just in general struggling through the whole thing.

When it was finally over and we were allowed to rest I could hear the biggest of sighs come from her. It's over, that sound said, and her body seemed to thank her for it.

yogainstructor!abby + beginner!reader — ⋆.˚𖦹

————————————————————————

abby was a fitness instructor for women, always having a heart to fulfill her goals through her work. she liked the safety within the group she always instructed, new ones coming and going. incense always traveling through the air slowly, following the groups movements, a request by a old woman named ruth. she said it would ‘fit the fibe’.

the majority of women there were either old, or women who never payed abby any mind. rich women who didn’t care much, like their husbands, or pregnant women. abby had taken it upon herself as well— to take the role of a mother. she was now taking care of lev full time, and working after he’s dropped off for school.

she’d truly never pay any mind to any of the women, all having their own stories and experiences— not until you came in.

abby was already pissed off her assistant added another yogini to the list, knowing there wasn’t enough space. and to top it all off, the newbie was a beginner— so she had to pay extra attention to her. to put the cherry on top of her (already) horrible morning, newbie didn’t have the money and would pay next week.

you arrived late in the most god awful attire— leggings too tight, stupid muffin socks, and a baggy cotton hoodie. you were lost, taking a seat at the very back of the room while the women were in child’s pose. she’d never seen anyone so stiff before, either. at least you were pretty.

there was always a reason someone new came, but another reason to not come back. you weren’t challenging yourself enough, not easing up. she knew you’d never come back if she didn’t help you.

she came over to you more sooner than not, a slight scowl that you knew she’d never let up before. you felt a pang of embarrassment as she taught you different poses, teaching you how to relax as she introduced herself.

you could tell you were being a bother, since she was sighing a lot. maybe it was hot, or… you weren’t sure.

“y/n,” she sighed, “take that hoodie off. aren’t you sweating?” she said, looking at you.

“isn’t sweating good?” you said, chuckling nervously as you looked back at her. she looked at you with indifference, and feeling pressured, you slowly took it off, feeling warm shame creep up your neck. it settled on your cheeks as she flipped you, hands everywhere on spots you were insecure about, hands warmer than the blankets you rotted in. and you let her.

you smelled sweet. you felt soft after she was done with you, moldable into something she could fix. the soft rolls on your back and pudge unlocked something deep within her— and she couldn’t place it.

“puppy pose,” she sighed out, almost an order. you looked back at her, confused, of course.

“um…” you said, unsure of what she was asking. because, well, you were.

she pushed you onto your knees without question, pulling a small gasp out of you. she fixed your arms in front of you, going behind you to fix your horrible posture.

you felt her hips connect to yours, her warm, big hands spreading across your lower back to push you down more. the pose made you uncomfortable, yet vulnerable, stretching every possible ligament in your body. it exhausted you before relaxing you.

abby had long forgotten to change to another pose, too busy on the sight in front of her. it had been more than five minutes, and god— a woman physically couldn’t refuse a meal sat right in front of her. she slightly gripped the dips in your hips, molding you, fingers stretched over the outlines god had created, knuckles going white as she slowly felt her hips grind.

surely it isn’t the works of yoga, right? you stayed in your position, her hands fixing your arch every now and then. it was awkward, because you’ve never seen any sort of rocking in yoga.

“are— are you sure this is beginner?” you chirped quietly, trying not to break the solemn silence within the women. you felt her switch hands, her breathing rigid. one hand was on your thigh now.

“it isn’t, sweets,” she grunted behind you, “but we do this every class. get used to it,” she told you, inching closer to you.

she swore she’s never seen anyone as rude as you. arriving late, then questioning her? it was just as bad as what she was doing. she knew she’d get in trouble, maybe even lose her clientele. she couldn’t help it, not when you were rocking your hips, and when you kept your place. like you had been taught.

even after the other women switched positions for free time, she kept you there. you couldn’t tell if you were just sweaty from her, or if you were so touch starved you were wet just from a few poses by your pretty yoga instructor. you felt her hands bring you closer by the hips, her breathing ragged as her hips tightened against yours. this wasn’t real, surely—

her low groan ripped you out of your thoughts immediately. and at the same time, you gasped. her hips pulled back sensitively, and back again. she didn’t expect to cum in her boxers from some newbie. she felt her breathing get lighter, her hands slowly letting go of you. she let her hands glide across your thighs before she pulled back, making sure no one saw either of you, taking one last look at you before heading back to her position in front.

you stared at her as she walked away, unsure as to what had unfolded. you sat there for a few minutes after, not being able to comprehend it. did she really—?

—

at the end of the session, all the women were leaving in small groups, not noticing a new arrival to their yoga class. you paid them no mind, preferring it that way, packing up and heading to her office. she had been sat at her office, glasses low on her nose as the computer light lit her face up.

softly knocking the door, you looked at her, blush spread across your cheeks as you handed her a envelope full of cash.

“for todays session,” you told her, touching the curls on the back of your neck. you held onto your yoga bag like it was a lifeline.

she took a moment to appreciate the payment now, making her life easier. and how you had decided to keep your hoodie off, like she asked, and…

the pink carabiner sat on your bag decorated with keychains and rings.

“do i have to schedule for next class?” you asked her sweetly, voice coming out like honey.

she knew you’d be a problem.

-find all things Southern Comfort here✨

A/N: There’s one conversation in here as a Texan I know will spark some controversy if you’re from the south and that’s which brand of tea you use to make your sweet tea with😂 my family is a Lipton tea family so..I’m sorry but so are you in this universe✨

“You hate it.” “What? No honey..it’s cute…really..thank you.” “That’s code for you think it’s hideous..” “No…it’s code for I think it’s cute that you saw a mug that says something about Texas and you immediately bought it for me.” “But…do you actually like it?” “I do…and it’s true…you shouldn’t mess with Texas women.” “You swear you like it? We can go return it and get one-” “Are you always like this when you give someone a gift?” “No…just with you.”

“Harry Edward are you sitting on my bed with your shoes on? How did you even get this far in my house with them on your feet? You become my boyfriend and forget the rules all of a sudden?” “Oh shit I’m sorry..fuck sorry I didn’t…damn it…oh god-” “Lord sugar just go to the front door and start fresh okay? You look as scared as a sheep in a room full of wolves.” “I just… I don’t…I’m sorry-” “Harry take a deep breath honey it’s okay…just go take your shoes off and watch that mouth of yours…you may be in the bedroom but there’s a time for such talk and now ain’t the time.” “Right…yeah…yeah okay I’m uh….what..what am I doing?” “Putting your shoes by the front door.” “Yes..yeah I’ll be right back.” “You’re so precious when you’re flustered.”

“Baby I’m telling you there’s nothing on this aisle that says…iced tea?” “Harry I told you it’s not going to say iced tea…I use regular tea bags to make sweet tea.” “Really? But it’s over ice?” “I don’t have time to explain how to make sweet tea to you right now honey but can you just grab the one I asked you for please?” “Okay…it’s the red one right?” “Red? No..it’s yellow.” “Yellow? Are you sure?” “Am I sure? Harry I’ve been making sweet tea since I was five yes I’m sure…if you try to bring that red box of Luzianne tea into my house I will-” “Okay okay I got the yellow one…uh Lipton? Is..that’s the name of it?” “Perfect…don’t forget the sugar and the-” “lemons…I won’t forget love don’t worry.” “Oh I’m worried sugar…but okay I’ll see you when you get here…tell Kathy hello for me.” “Will do sweetheart.”

“You’re staring.” “Is that a problem?” “I can’t bake when someone is staring at me the whole time sugar…now be a good helper and tell me how much milk?” “Uh..half a cup.” “Thank you…oh so how was your day off yesterday? Did you try that hot yoga class you told me about?” “I did…it was good…I don’t think you would’ve enjoyed it.” “Well yeah honey…I told you I wouldn’t like it.” “It was hard but..it was fun..just a bit more uhm..intense than the classes you’re used to.” “I’m a proud yoga newbie…I mainly go just to watch you do the weird poses that let me see all your tattoos you keep hidden from me…because they make your little short shorts roll up your thighs or your shirts to ride up.” “Uh..uhm…what?” “Yeah..like those fern leaf things…oh yeah…I snuck me a good long peak at them the other day during our beach yoga class when you were doing that downward dog pose thing.” “You did?” “Well yeah? What are you the only one who’s allowed to stare?” “No no…feel free to stare at me all you want baby.” “Thanks…now what’s next? How much sugar?” “Uh..sorry what are we making again?” “Lord honey…don’t make me kick you out of the kitchen…again.”

Hey I need some support. I live with mates and they’re all very into the gym and I’m not as into it. They keep trying to get me to come with them to the gym since I’ve gained a little weight at uni and lost my abs. Problem is I’d rather just stay home and watch tv. Also, I don’t understand what they mean with macros and WOD and HIIT stuff it just makes no sense to me. I wish I could just focus on that stuff and understand them better.

You go to the gym with your friends rather listlessly. Today there are both WOD and HIIT classes. You check it out. It looks incredibly strenuous. And the participants in the classes look pretty darn fit too…. Still, something distracts you… Sounds like you're in a blacksmith shop. Blows from iron to iron. And loud groans. You follow the sounds. They become louder. A strange smell is in the air. Musk. Sweat. And iron. The free weight area in the gym. The place where the big beefcakes work out. You pick up a dumbbell. Damn heavy. But that smell of iron. Electrifying. You start with barbell curls. One of the beefcakes comes up to you. He asks you if it's the first time in your life you've held a barbell. At least it looks like it. And laughs. You say that you are actually doing something like this for the first time. Fuck, says the bodybuilder. He wouldn't have thought that. You'd be really well built for that. He gives you a few tips and says goodbye after a few minutes with a fist bump. When you're done with the curls, you do a double biceps pose. Fuck, yeah! The training pays off. Next up, dips for the triceps. With an iron chain as an extra weight. Your groans join the chorus of your gym buddies. You've been here every day for five years. If you don't like the noise, go somewhere else.

Thank God you have time today. On bad days, you have to finish your workout after two hours. Today you even have time to give tips to a few newbies. Or to have a chat with one or the other bruh. Suddenly it gets loud. One of these classes is over. Pilates, yoga, HIIT or some shit like that. The wretched crossfitters. Nobody needs them… But you can hardly tell that to your pals from college…. After all, it's thanks to them that you started training in the first place…

Fuck, you've been addicted to the gym for over ten years. Long before you even started college…. Eh, before you started working as a backhoe driver. College! Absurd thought. Takes up too much time that you can't spend at the gym. That would really suck!

I was tagged by @whatsintheboxmh @heartstringsduet @orchidscript and @carlos-in-glasses thank you!

Have one final snippet from the Hallmark fic. It's finished, I am hoping to post it a chapter per day on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, depending on factors. But it's coming soon either way!

-

Carlos appears beside him with a tray of festive looking drinks, something red and fizzy in margarita glasses adorned with sprigs of rosemary. Marjan has an orange box in her hands and nudges Paul out of the way so she can begin to set the game up on the coffee table.

“I’ve never played this before,” TK tells them, before he remembers Marjan already knew that.

“Don’t worry, it’s fun.”

“We’ll teach you,” Paul adds. “It isn’t that complicated. And we play on teams so Carlos can help you.”

“Hey, who says I want the newbie on my team?” Carlos asks.

TK puts a faux-offended hand to his chest and Carlos winks at him, holding the tray out so Nancy can take a glass.

“Oh, no, that one’s TK’s,” he says, turning it on his palm to present her with a different one.

They all look the same, although when TK takes a closer look he notices a blue rubber band around the stem of the first glass Nancy had tried to take.

“Ooh, a special drink for his new man,” Nancy teases.

“Pull up some chairs, guys,” Marjan calls from where she’s settled cross-legged onto the floor.

“I don’t know how you sit like that,” Paul remarks as he tugs over a striped sofa chair.

“Prayer and yoga,” Marjan answers.

Carlos finishes making the rounds with the tray, getting to TK last. A few feet away from where the others are gathering, TK feels his cheeks flush with embarrassment as he tentatively asks, “Um, what is it?”

“Cranberry juice and ginger ale.” Carlos lifts the remaining glass up and quietly, so only TK can hear him, says, “I made you one without vodka. I can add some, if you want, though. I wasn’t sure.”

“Oh.” TK blinks.

He takes the drink, their fingers brushing over the stem of the glass as he does. It occurs to him that he never told Carlos he didn’t drink. Carlos knows so little about his history; TK revealed in a low moment outside the diner that he’d been to rehab, but that is the extent of Carlos’s knowledge on the subject. It strikes TK as surprisingly thoughtful, both that he remembered and that he made TK his own drink so TK wouldn’t have to turn a cocktail down in front of everyone, and he feels the warmth of that spreading down his neck and stirring in his stomach.

He looks up, realizing he’s gone too long without speaking and finding uncertainty in Carlos’s dark eyes. TK shakes his head and smiles. “No, this is … thank you.”

Carlos returns his smile, the slightest bit of tension leaving his shoulders as he lifts his arm and briefly rubs TK between the shoulder blades.
