The Walking Dead TWD
Chapter 56: Start exercising
Zhou Nan thought about it carefully beforehand. All the zombies nearby were attracted away, and there were human heads outside the hospital that could intimidate nearby survivors.
The most important point is that in the original plot, no one organized a second wave of attack on Harrison Memorial Hospital. Considering all the above, Zhou Nan finally decided to accept Paul's proposal.
While there is plenty of food now, go all out for physical exercise!
When he really started to torture his body, Zhou Nan realized how enjoyable it was to lie paralyzed in bed.
As the main fighting force in the team, Zhou Nan experienced far more cruel things than Karina and the others.
Since the hospital did not have the long-handled knives that Paul was good at, Hannah, Markunes, Kelly, Karina, and even the two children all started learning from light daggers.
Although it is somewhat dangerous to fight zombies at close range, it cannot be denied that the dagger is currently an important weapon for getting rid of zombies. Due to its lightness and concealment, it also performs well in close combat with humans.
Especially as women, it is easy for them to lower the enemy's vigilance. Coupled with the hidden daggers, if the enemy chooses to capture them at close range, these women will definitely give the enemy a big surprise.
Zhou Nan kept repeating mechanical exercises, and the first thing he did was push-ups.
Zhou Nan's body was pressed against the ground, his hands supported under his shoulders, and his feet together.
He then began to slowly lower himself until his chest almost touched the ground, then pushed up until his arms were fully extended.
Every time he descended, Zhou Nan could feel his muscles trembling, and every time he ascended, he was challenging his limits.
Zhou Nan's breathing became heavy, and sweat began to slide from his forehead, dripping onto the dry ground, forming a small wet mark.
Paul expressed his approval of Zhou Nan's meticulous completion of the standard movements.
Before doing anything, attitude is the primary factor. If you regard something as torture, you are doomed to not go far.
As time went on, Zhou Nan's arms began to ache, and each push-up became more and more difficult, as if his muscles were burning.
"Don't give up, Zhou Nan. Every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and every persistence is a transcendence of yourself!" Paul's words were full of encouragement.
Zhou Nan, who didn't feel very excited, rolled his eyes at Paul and continued to grit his teeth and hold on...
Zhou Nan, who was exhausted, did not get any sympathy from Paul. Instead, Paul forced Zhou Nan to do pull-ups using the railing.
Zhou Nan jumped up and grabbed the horizontal bar, his body hanging in the air. He began to use force with his arms, pulling his body upwards until his chin was above the bar.
Then, Zhou Nan slowly relaxed his arms and let his body lower until his arms were almost fully extended.
This process was repeated over and over again, and Zhou Nan's arm and back muscles began to feel extremely tired, but he still persisted.
Zhou Nan's palms turned red from holding the railing for a long time, and there was even a slight tingling sensation.
The project was considered completed only when Zhou Nan had used all his strength and could no longer perform a single standard movement.
"The dumbbells are not in place yet, so start running first!" Paul will not let Zhou Nan rest. After exercising the upper limbs, he will exercise the lower limbs, and after exercising the lower limbs, he will exercise the core strength.
So, Zhou Nan was asked by Paul to start running.
Zhou Nan's footsteps echoed in the hospital yard. After running around the hospital building a few times, Zhou Nan's heart beat like a drum and his breathing became rapid.
Every breath seemed to burn Zhou Nan's lungs, and a sweet and fishy smell came from his throat.
Zhou Nan only felt a tightness in his chest, his breathing rhythm was disrupted, he had difficulty breathing, his limbs were weak, and he felt that it was difficult to run anymore.
Fatigue filled Zhou Nan's whole body, but he did not stop.
"This feeling is the extreme. Experience it well and then break through it!" Paul's voice seemed to be in the sky.
Zhou Nan also murmured to himself: "Is it the extreme?"
The "extreme" phenomenon occurs because the human body has physiological inertia. The degree of inertia of each system and organ varies, with muscles having less inertia and internal organs having more inertia.
When Zhou Nan's body went from a relatively quiet state to a state of intense exercise, it was unable to deliver oxygen to the muscles in a timely manner.
The inability to take away carbon dioxide and metabolites will cause Zhou Nan to suffer from hypoxia and a large accumulation of metabolic products.
Zhou Nan, who does not exercise regularly, experiences extreme symptoms earlier, which last longer and are more intense.
"Don't stop, pay attention to controlling your breathing rate, you need to increase the depth of breathing and delay exhalation!" Paul was still shouting at Zhou Nan at the top of his voice.
Zhou Nan tried to do as Paul said, first reducing his pace, and then continuing to take deep breaths.
After walking for a distance, Zhou Nan's breathing became even again, his movements felt easy again, and all the discomfort disappeared.
After running for a while, Paul signaled Zhou Nan that it was time to stop.
After stopping and walking for a while, Zhou Nan lay on the ground gasping for breath.
Zhou Nan only felt that all the muscles in his body were in a state of complete weakness. Zhou Nan tried to walk for a while, but almost fell down because of the muscle weakness.
Stretching and massage are necessary after exercise, which can promote blood circulation, prevent lactic acid accumulation, and thus relieve muscle soreness.
Hannah also took the initiative to help Zhou Nan relax, but her damn hands were always rubbing something.
Zhou Nan was so exhausted that he let Hannah secretly take advantage of him. Under the massage of those soft, boneless hands, Zhou Nan even fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Nan woke up, but Hannah had already gone to do other things.
Zhou Nan wanted to get up, but he felt a soreness spreading from deep within his muscles, which made every movement he made become cautious.
Zhou Nan sat on a bench outside the hospital, leaning forward slightly, trying to relieve the tension and pain by stretching.
Zhou Nan's arms, especially his biceps and triceps, felt like overstretched rubber bands, and every slight bend was accompanied by a sharp pain.
Even his back muscles felt unusually stiff, especially the area between his shoulder blades. The soreness made Zhou Nan almost dare not take a deep breath.
Zhou Nan tried to gently rotate his shoulders, hoping to relieve the discomfort in his back through movement.
Every movement of the shoulder is accompanied by a slight "cracking" sound, which is the sound of muscles and joints protesting.
The muscles in the thighs and calves are extremely sore as they are under tremendous pressure during running.
Zhou Nan's leg muscles seemed to be filled with lead, and every movement required extra effort.
He patted his thighs gently, hoping to promote blood circulation and relieve muscle soreness.
Paul saw Zhou Nan woke up and came over.
"To be able to persevere through this level of training, you've already surpassed most ordinary people."
"As you continue to exercise, the soreness will subside and your body will become stronger and tougher!"
"Come with me, Dr. Macunes has prepared an ointment for you!"
"As a surgeon, it's amazing that Marcunes also has the ability to prepare medicines!"
“Now, go experience it!”
