I have to say I'm surprised. I thought it would be something... well, something a little more magical.

@Fractured

You could say that about the scale of the exercise, maybe. I do things… Just a little bit beyond the capacity of a normal human being, we’ll say.

*Taps my finger to my cheek*
So it is like normal exercise...

@Fractured

Of course it is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Does it... stick?

@Fractured

As in stay if I stop? No, you’ve gotta put in effort to maintain it at least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I—I have a question. I just thought your body... sort of... stayed, like that. You have to do exercises?

@Fractured

Have to? Naw. But improving doesn’t happen on its own.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

That helps. Is it true that the best part about working out is eating huge meals?

@Server

Depends on who you ask. But if you ask me, it’s definitely up there.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

The important question: Do you get paid for that time?

@Server

Most. I do the majority of it with the IA facilities I have access to.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Okay, so now it's your turn.

@Meta

You really want to know? Alrighty then. Mondays I do strength training. Lift weights and all that. Tuesdays I rest my body and do perception training, and I do things like movement tracking exercises and simulations of scenarios like investigations or tracking. Wednesdays I do endurance training and I go for intense cardio, as well as supplementing the strength training by doing moderate lifts that I maintain for longer. Thursdays I rest muscles again and purely do things such as stretches and acrobatics. Fridays I train, believe it or not, muscle memory. Practice various techniques on repeat. I take weekends off and mostly just get exercise from actual work on those days.

Maybe combat intuition is the short way to say it. The better that gets, the stronger we are.

@Meta

*Strokes my chin*
Right, right.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Shrugs*
I thought it sounded pretty good.

@Meta

I just ask out of curiosity more than anything. I get what you're saying though, just for the record.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Sure, but again. We don’t have muscles.

@Meta

When I say that, I mean it more as a concept than a literal function. If people have muscle memory too, just like you, then is it really an analog to muscle development? That's what I'm just poking at a bit.
