Kamon had a strategy.
The problem with most workouts is that you don't have enough energy to last through one without crashing later. Your muscles do ache a little, but they could definetely be pushed a little further. Therefore, if you had more energy, you could go through a more efficient and effective workout, and build more muscle and burn more fat than you would on a normal workout. If you went once every week for a full year with a calculated and predicted 5% increase of musclebuilding and fat burning, at the end of the year, you will have sculpted/burned 260 more percentile units of muscle/fat.
A good plan, thought Kamon. But how to get the energy? For Kamon, it was simple. Absorb some electricity. And it worked, and so Kamon was at the gym, putting his logic and muscles to the test. Currently, he was on a treadmill, running at whatever speed the treadmill was at when the dial was turned halfway to the maximum. He had run so far about 2 kilometres, and his muscles were screaming. Kamon slowed it down to off and went over to sit on a bench with a bottle of water. He easily downed half in a few seconds, and leaned back to catch his breath before he would continue drinking. He stretched out and sighed. Definetly going into the pool after.

A young woman had been several treadmills down and running whole heartedly. Lavender eyes looked at a TV screen which happened to have been stationed in front of this treadmill. Currently it was a msuic video and Valerie was getting very annoyed with the woman shaking their asses. It annoyed her beyond all doubt, so her pale eyes fell to small electric reading on the machine before her. Half an hour of running, she'd gone who knows how far. Of course, had to pick the treadmill with a broken meter.[/i] Sighing mentally to herself, Valerie continued.
The golden blond hair that usually was down had pulled itself up into a high setting ponytail with many curls falling to her shoulders. Valerie had decided that clothing wasn't exactly a big part of working out and picked a ranom blue tank top with black fabric shorts to her mid-thighs accompanied by sneakers. Today had been a decent day, and after a few more moments on this treadmill, Valerie was sure to get off and relax a little.
A young man with a chart walked her way, and advised her to take a break, handing her a towel and bottle of cold water. " Thank you." Came Valerie's soft thanks as she slowed her pace to a jog, a walk, and then stopped. The treadmill flattened itself out as it had been at a 30 degree angle. Yes, this whole time Valerie was doing an uphill run. Taking the cap of her water of, Val walked by Kamon and into the pool room where she sat at a chair to relax. The towel she was given dabbed at her forhead, neck and collarbone.

Kamon downed the rest of his water in extreme thirst and sighed. I've gotten through my normal routine twice, and yet my muscles still have some juice. Of course I have lots of energy left, I took in thousands of volts from the powerline...I guess I need to add to my routine, plus recalculate the energy boost... Kamon's logic hadn't done too well in round one, he had to admit. But his body was doing fairly well, and even though Kamon's legs were a little angry at his brain, the body as a whole was still in working order. Kamon got up and walked towards a locker. He took his sweatpants off, and a bathing suit was underneath. He tossed them in the quarter-activated locker, as well as his shirt and the empty water bottle. He began to walk towards the pool and into the pool room.
He saw Valerie relaxing on the deck and walked past her. He dove into the pool and touched the bottom. He stayed down there for a small bit, seeing as it was very relaxing. He then pushed up and surfaced. He took a breath and swam towards the shallow end, where he kneeled in down, letting the cool water flow around and past him. He closed his eyes. Once he was done with this, he would be doing a few laps before going back to his normal routine. He fell face first into the water, almost lying on it for a bit. It was a little strenuous to hold your breath, but the lying down part was worth it.

Valerie turned at the sound ofa splash and watched Kamon disappear for a moment before returning for air. She gave a shrug, and sipped at her water a bit more, mind else where. Looking to the clock on the wall,the young woman gave a sigh and looked down at her shoes. I wonder how Roxanna is doing....I haen't talked to her or seen her in a month. I should probably call her tonight or later today.[/i] Valerie right there made up her mind on the matter of her sister.
" Well, Miss Faust you look a bit preoccupied." A woman said, dressed as a trainer for the center. " Mmm, I just had other thoughts is all." " Well, I hope everything works out. You should take a swim, freshen up a little." Advised the woman as she stopped before Val and carried on a very slight conversation. Valerie looked thoughtfully at the water and noddwed her head a little, Lavender eyes turning to the kind Fitness Center employee. " I think I will do just that, thank you." She said softly. Sipping her water a bit more, Valerie stood and pealed her tanktop off to reveal a black one-piece. Next her shorts came off and she sighed, sitting back down, Tender hands worked at the knots of her sneakers as she hummed softly.
The same woman from moments before came by and dropped a royal blue beach towel on the table for Valerie to use when she was down swimming, Thanking the kind employee Valerie finally pulled both shoes off. Walking to the edge of the deep end, Val's eyes looked at the depths of the water. Sighing, she took a deep breathe and performed a very well done dive. Sliding into the water with very little splash, Valerie shot towards the other end, Eyes open and alert.
Valerie popped up half way to the other hand and retrieved her breathe. " Wonderful." She breathed, rolling onto her back. Carefully, the young woman began to glide through the water on her back, heading back towards the deep end to dive once more maybe. Lavender eyes slide closed as she casually made her way, once more, past Kamon. " Swimming is so refreshing." Val laughed softly as she continued her gentle backstroke.

Kamon was running out of air, and he knew it. He was thankful his lungs weren't bothering him about it every second. He was numb to every feeling except the comfort of the water. His ears were listening intently, although any signal they relayed to the brain was muffled because of the lack of oxygen.
"...mimminzsowefweshinn..." Kamon heard. He sat straight up in the water to see who was talking. "Pardon?" he asked, before he absorbed the comment and rolled it around in his head a bit. It definetely would've been 'swimming's so refreshing', had his ears not been tricking him. "Yes, yes it is." he said, between breaths. His lungs, having been patient before, were now being impatient, and his brain respected that. Colours swam before his eyes, but they subsided, as did a ringing in his ears
Kamon jumped up a little, and mini-dove below the surface and swam about an inch above the floor ov the pool. He swam to the other end, and pushed off with his hands and feet to surface in the deep end a few seconds after Valerie would've ended up there.
