A Secret

Lucas: What's so big about the secret that we have to be so safe?

Revan: I'll tell you.... I plan to use this training to build everyone's foundations or at least build them up enough to be adequate. Whoever lasts the 1 month will be specially trained by me. However, there's a catch.... the men and women who pass may follow me and join me but they will have to pledge their loyalty to me, to never go against me, even in death

Lucas: What are you planning to do with such a fighting force?

Revan: Mainly for safety but I promise to treat you all as my own family. You will be my brother's and sister's and your loyalty for me will not be one sided. What I mainly need is protection

Lucas: That would only be what's right. At least for our initial village. You helped us and saved lives, who knows when they'd stop killing if you didn't step in. I know I couldn't have handled all of those men alone so yes, I will be loyal and I would be happy to call you a brother

Revan: Sounds good, shall we start the training?

Lucas: Yes... you have at least a thousand people outside waiting for your instruction, please you first

Lucas stepped aside and waited for Revan to leave the tent..... and he did.

Revan walked out with his hands behind his back. "I see that everyone has come here today in hopes of undergoing some drastically life altering training. Your bodies will be conditioned and tones, your stamina will be incredibly boosted and even though you may not look the largest, you'll have the strength of more than 3 men."

The shortest were at the front and the tallest were at the back. "All of you, give yourselves some room between those around you. You're going to be moving your body and the pace is going to be nonstop. I'll start by showing you the workout today, hell month commences now."

Revan started out by stretching. He started with his arms, he brought them across his chest and behind his back. Next he reached up and held it. "Really remember to hold these poses, you need to stretch twice a day, once sometime in the morning and once before you sleep. Stretching will keep you flexible and mobile when you get into your later years."

Revan hung low next and then reached to each of his sides. He then reached to the floor and placed his palms on the ground. "Don't worry if you can't go as low as me right now. Just push as far as you can and hold it there. Eventually you'll go all the way down."

Revan pulled his toes off of the ground and stretched his calves next and then he took his foot off of the floor and stretched his hamstrings. "Last stretch for today, spread your legs apart and do the splits. Again, try to go as far as you can and hold it." Revan went all the way down with ease and held the pose gracefully. "Alright, that's it for stretching, shake it out, shake it out."

"Now, let's get on to the actual workout."
