The women did not delay and changed their clothes very quickly.
In order to help set the mood, Zhao Chuchu had specifically spent a large sum of money to hire luthiers. She arranged a set of scores for classics and fast-tempo songs that had been in circulation centuries before the post-apocalyptic world for the luthiers to practice exclusively at the Ruyu Center.
Zhao Chuc.hu took the women to the training room and began teaching them, starting with the fundamental warm-up exercises.
The women were pampered all year round. Be it their physical fitness or other aspects, they could not keep up with Zhao Chuchu at all. Hence, she had to take things step by step. She could not immediately start them off with high-intensity training. They would get injured easily if she did so.
Zhao Chuchu demonstrated the movements and asked them to learn by mimicking her. The women found it interesting and followed along. However, in their hearts, they had their doubts. How could such simple movements help them lose weight?
Could Zhao Chuchu be tricking them?
Some people felt as though they were being cheated. They asked, “Mrs. Xie, will it actually be useful if we do these movements every day? It is not even as tiring as taking a stroll in my garden.”
“That’s right, Mrs. Xie. We didn’t pay you to have fun only. We really want to make ourselves fitter and appear younger.”
“We have already paid you. We came primarily because of your fame. Mrs. Xie, please don’t toy with us like this.”
The women began to pile on one complaint after another.
Faced with their suspicions, Zhao Chuchu did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and explained, “You may express whatever judgment you have for now. I hope you’ll not ask for a break after we finish this set of warm-ups and 15 minutes of dance.”
The ladies looked at each other, unsure of whether or not they should continue.
Mrs. Ge encouraged them, saying, “Let’s follow Mrs. Xie’s instructions. Think of the concubines your husbands have at home. We can’t let those vixens attract all the attention of our men! Don’t you realize how much effort those vixens put in to keep themselves young? As the head wives, we can’t fall behind in our self-care routines!”
The ladies stopped complaining upon hearing Mrs. Ge’s words. They followed Zhao Chuchu’s tempo and warmed up their bodies.
After the warm-up session ended, they felt that it was just a piece of cake. All of them were confident that they could last the next 15 minutes.
Zhao Chuchu knew what they were thinking. She said, “Next, I’ll demonstrate a few basic moves. Watch my steps and remember them. After that, I’ll ask the luthiers to play the music, and we’ll dance to the song using the moves we learn. All of you, pay attention to me.”
She had checked their pulses when they signed up for the membership. Based on their health conditions, she came up with a few basic calorie-burning movements that were within their capabilities.
Only after their bodies were used to exercising would she gradually increase the intensity of their workouts. Then, depending on their health conditions, she would come up with personalized training routines for each of them.
Ladies like Mrs. Ge all came from relatively wealthy families. They had some basics in arts and dance. Therefore, they quickly mastered the steps demonstrated by Zhao Chuchu.
When Zhao Chuchu noticed that, she instructed the luthiers to play a moderately-paced song and officially began the training session.
At the start, Mrs. Ge and the other ladies managed to follow the rhythm effortlessly. However, later, they slowly realized that they were getting tired. Some of them couldn’t even catch their breaths.
When these seemingly simple movements were joined together, they became very taxing.
While Zhao Chuchu was leading the dance in front, she was also observing the participants’ movements via the mirror. She made a mental note of the steps each person did wrongly. After the song ended, she would correct them one by one.
In the end, the ladies could barely move. All of them gasped for air, unable to follow through the song. They had no energy to continue dancing. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
The song felt like an eternity for them. They were eagerly anticipating the luthiers finishing the song.
When the luthiers finished playing their last note, the ladies couldn’t care less about their image as they slumped to the ground.
“Uh, that was too tiring. I cannot move anymore.”
“It seemed so easy. Why is it that my legs felt so heavy at the end? I need someone to carry me.”
“Say no more. I felt as though my heart would stop beating at any given moment. Mrs. Xie, why is it so tiring?
‘Yeah. When we first learned the movements, they were not tiring, but now, even my waist hurts.”
Zhao Chuchu did not even break a sweat. She explained, “That’s because your movements were sloppy. I noticed all your mistakes in the mirror. Moreover, we have only danced for half the song, and you are already exhausted. I will correct your movements one by one now. Meanwhile, the rest of you will watch from the side.”
Zhao Chuchu first called Mrs. Ge forward. Due to being too fat, none of the latter’s movements were correct.
This set of movements that Zhao Chuchu had arranged was quite suitable for people of Mrs. Ge’s physique. It was not too intense but could still achieve the effect of burning fat. As long as the movements were done properly, they would not hurt their knees as well..
