“Sure,” Neribi shrugged, “You’ll want to stand here, sort of out of the way, the pole isn’t live, but I make fast enough movements that it would bruise you if it mistakenly made contact with you.”

Once the good doctor was settled, Neribi began simply standing with the pole vertical in front of her in both hands stacked on top of each other, her head bowed. Taking a few breaths, using her lower hand, she began to spin the pole, stopping it in a strike posture, spinning it again, she twirled her body physically, making a series of controlled stops as she moved about the compound in varied strikes and blocks.

Mora stood to the side, her articulate gaze studying the movement that she made. She came up with a few theories, of why the dance was particularly helpful towards the body of a humanoid, such as herself. It seemed the quick movements could strength breathing patterns, and the lungs. Her detailed actions would add to the strength in her wrists and ankles, and depending on how much she moved, it would add to her arms and legs, as well. The twirling could be a way to help with the abdomen, all in all, it was apparently a rather helpful workout.

“Do you do much exercise like this?” Neribi asked, by way of making conversation while she worked, “Is there something in particular you’re looking for, as a security officer, keeping a strong and agile body is one of my top priorities, I can recommend some exercises if that’s what you’re after?”

Mora quietly chuckled, “No, that is quite alright. My physiology makes it quite difficult to ever bother with exercise beyond yoga and a few types of aerobics.” She smiled, a gentleness to her appearance. It was clear that she was a doctor, for her demeanour wasn’t far too calm and collected to be, really, anything else. “That does make sense, though. However, I should hope you know the limit of your own body?”

“Yes, when first beginning these exercises, I was taught to start slow and avoid pushing my body to the point where I’d sustain injury,” Neribi replied, continuing to work, watching her movements herself, “It’s a process, building upon earlier work to gather strength and agility. I think it’s highly important to understand the limits of your body, particularly given my profession in the security field, I need to be ready to control a crowd or run to a serious situation. Pattern dances help you test your limits gradually, building upon the previous exercises. It was also why I jogged up here, rather than just appear up here in the program, a slow easy jog loosens up the muscles and signals the body that it’s time to work.”

“Agreed.” She nodded, understanding where the woman was coming from, regarding everything that she had said. She was curious as to why this was the specific exercise that she chose to do, but the anxious doctor wasn’t certain if it was her place to ask. Quietly, she chose to ask another question, on the more broad spectrum. “Are there any other exercises that you find are just as, or if not, more effective than this one?” She asked, tilting her head minutely to one side, tapping her fingers, subconsciously, against the base of her thigh.

“I also do yoga or pilates on other days,” Neribi explained, “It’s important to vary the workout, I wouldn’t say that one exercise is more effective than the other, more like they all accomplish different things that contribute to a whole healthy routine for me.”
