I scan my card at my new gym, hands full and feeling a little out of place.
"Good morning, have a good workout," comes from behind the desk.
"Thanks," I squeak.
I walk to the back for the locker rooms. As I reach for to push the locker room door it opens before me. I catch my hand before it grasps the chest of a tall, shaggy haired woman. Her arm muscles naturally bulging as she holds the door for me, a soft smile on her lips.
I blush, "thank you!"
As I squeeze past her I watch her eyes travel up and down my body, my face becoming even more flush. I thought it'd be mostly old people at the gym! I didn't think I'd see such a strong woman my first time. Maybe I could get tips from her sometime.
I catch my breath and find a locker to stuff my bag into a long with coat. I haven't really worked out since highschool gym class and even then let's face it I was in the corner talking games and TV with friends. I take a final look at myself before leaving, my dark hair pulled back, a loose shirt, covering my breasts getting used to being contained, and some black leggings make me feel at least a little comfortable here.
My mind flashes to the woman holding the door, a crop top showing off a flat tone stomach and shorts leaving no imagination to her legs. I shake my head, 'be respectful! We all come to workout in peace right?' I grab my little book for routines and meander my way out to the gym floor.
As I walk around the clanging of weights is heard softly through my headphones. I'm trying some upbeat techno today, maybe that helps. I don't really know what to look for yet but I see a chest fly machine and know how to do that so I'll start there.
I set up the machine how I need and I start my workout. My first set felt good, a little too easy. I get up and add some more weight, as I turn to sit back down the woman from the locker room was pointing next to me looking confused. I shake my head unsure of what she means and she smirks before taking the machine. I try not to stare as I watch her work her back, she looks really strong.
My mind almost begins to wander before I snap myself back and focus on what I was I doing. I do the workout a couple more times and feel good, I wipe it clean and look between my paper and the room full of machines.
I jump a little at a soft touch on my shoulder, I turn to find the strong woman. "You look a little lost, can I help at all?"
"Uh- I-Its-I," I stammer. "It's my first time so yeah I'm lost," I confess.
She smiles downs on me earnestly, "well what are you doing? I can point out the machines for you."
"Uh, I did chest flies, I don't know I just kinda wrote this up. Bicep curls, tricep extensions, leg extensions. Just kinda anything I can, cardio I guess. Abs maybe?"
She chuckles softly, "I get it. Nothing wrong starting out full body and testing it out. Your arms are done up there with dumbbells, leg extensions it the machine almost in the corner over there. I say never skip cardio and abs, they suck but it pays off in the end." She winks and turns away putting a headphone in.
My eyes can't help but wander down and watch as her ass jiggles with each step. Oh goodness, I turn around quick going to legs to get far away and clear my head. Following the instructions and setting it properly I enjoy the leg extensions and feel a good burn in my legs. When I stand I'm a little wobbly but I think that's good.
I go back towards the front to do my arms. Only a couple benches are open next to each other but most lower dumbbells are there. I pick a bench and grab some tens and start my curls. In the mirror behind my I see that woman strutting towards the front and sets her stuff on the bench next to me. I finish a set and sit, pulling out my phone to see how to do my triceps.
Out of the corner of my eye I watch her in the mirror, leaning back and doing a chest press motion. Her shoulders, triceps and biceps very defined and working hard to lift the weights she has. My body starts to tingle, I've never seen a woman look so good. I'm a little scared but wow! She finishes and sits up straight, ours eyes catching in the mirror and she gives me a smirk. I blush and scroll back on my phone.
I take some drinks from my water bottle and finish my curls as I look at photos and videos of workouts. I try my best not to stare too much but she's really fun to watch. I haven't been attracted to a girl like her before. I try to ignore the thoughts of her using her body and muscles to hold me against a wall, eager to grow anticipation.
I take some deep breaths and finish my arm workouts trying to focus on the muscles. I finish and wipe down my equipment, feeling like her eyes are on me as I move around. I find an open area and go against the wall, I guess some ab wouldn't be bad. 'But the only abs I know are planks and those suck.' I sigh as I pull up the clock app on my phone and put 30 seconds on. 'Whatever, just do your best.'
I struggle through a couple abs and collapse on my second in heavy breathes. As I lay and catch my breath a moment the strong woman comes to the same area and also starts some planks a little bit away. I try not to watch, and I'm not counting, but she seems to be able to do it forever and I can only hope to be as cool and strong as her one day. I do one last one and collapse again, tired and sweaty, but I kinda feel better.
I lay there a moment before some white converse step up to me, I look up the long, toned, tattooed legs and see her hand reached down to help me up. I chuckle and accept the help to sit up. She helps me to my knees and I'm left looking up at her, she smiles gently down at me but there's a fire behind her eyes. It sets in the position I'm in and I blush redder than ever before standing and wiping my legs off.
"Thanks," I chuckle. "Uh you look great, you look really strong."
"Oh thank you!" She blushes, "I've been working hard for a long time," with a giggle. "How was your first workout?"
I take a deep breath to catch my breath, "it was nice. I can see why people like to do this sort of thing. I feel better."
"Yeah it's those natural endorphins! I need to still do some cardio," her eyes lower and look me up and down. "Care to join me?"
Am I reading too much? What kind of cardio? "Uhh sure, what kind?"
"Well I run a few laps around my block and then finish with some stretching and a little yoga."
"Oh, right! Sure, that sounds good."
"Great! Well if you're ready then just follow me."
'Happily,' I thought to myself.
So I did, I followed her back to the locker room and out of the gym only looking the appropriate amount of times down to watch the jiggle. We walk into the parking lot.
"Gimme your phone," she said and I handed it over without thinking. "My you're obedient aren't you," with a wink. "Here's my address in case you lose me in traffic," handing it back to me.
I was about to stammer in protest but just turn to my car to follow. Soon I pull up outside a nice little house in an average neighborhood. A black Subaru in the driveway with pride stickers was easy enough to follow. I get out my heart a little fast from nervousness. I still can't believe I'm doing this. I knock on the door and hear come in from the other side.
I follow the sound of a shaker bottle into a quaint kitchen, she's standing at her counter mixing I imagine a protein shake. Her ass shaking gently with her body and I tingle all over again.
"Thanks for doing this with me. I appreciate all the help I can get for starting this new lifestyle."
"Of course!" She chimes, "always happy to help out another woman. This is for afterwards. Need any water before we got jogging? I figured we'll only do like two laps just to be easy for you."
"That sounds good. I'm ready whenever you are."
"Great, let's go!"
She locks her house and guides me through some quick leg stretches before we start. We start down the block at an easy pace. I soon try to control my breathing to not show how long it's been for me.
"So," she huffs. "I'm Addy, and you?"
"Amanda," I mange. "How long have you been working out?"
"Uhh, consistently about 5 years but I've always been athletic and doing something on and off."
"Wow, that's impressive. I've just been reading a lot the last five years, well forever," a breathy chuckle comes out.
Addy chuckles too, "I get it. I love to read but been in a slump myself. What else do you do?"
'how can she jog and talk so easily?' I take some deep breaths. "I read, play some games, watch some nerdy shows other than that."
"Nice, I also play some video games. I got a cat I play with a lot too, normally watching someone else play games."
I give an approving grunt and we fall into a comfortable silence the last bit of the run. Silence besides my breath but I guess that'll get easier too. We slow down as we approach her house and we both take a moment to catch our breath.
"Good job, keep up and it'll be easy in no time." Addy says between breaths.
I smile at her before bending over to stretch.
"Oh let's do that inside. I'll show you some to really open your hips." I blush as she walks past me to guide me inside.
We enter her living room where she has two yoga mats laid out. "I had an extra so don't even worry about it. Here we'll start on the ground with some easy ones for your legs."
We sit down facing each other, I mirror her positions and stretches. It all feels nice, we move our legs wide open, bottom of our feet touching.
"Here, reach for me," Addy giggles.
