[Between his various duties lined up within December, Sephiroth becomes less frequent a resident within Aqures Ixen. However, on the few-and-far between days that he is either working or taking well-deserved days on leave, the fitness routine he’s kept up with as a matter of principle doesn’t change much at all even on account of the colder weather.
But even he has to wear at least a thicker sweatshirt and warm joggers to go on his early morning, daily jog route to the 10th District, even with the hood to the jacket up over his head against the sometimes-biting breeze. Similarly, the more interval-like training that would usually be efficiently done in the various open public spaces within the city, has to be taken indoors into either the Hero Training Hall or one of the many unoccupied training spaces inside that left behind in stadiums where there isn’t much sport going on in the wake of not only winter, but the impending doom that’s hanging over the World. Rapid squat thrusts or inclined push-ups are made to be tough enough of a work-out without the frostbite to the fingers or toes that would be left behind. Not to mention that cooled sweat is a certain way to make yourself sick.
Resistance-training follows soon after, whether it be with the equipment at the Hero Training Hall, should he find a space which isn’t been used for other purposes, or at a more dedicated weights gym somewhere in the 10th District. Thanks to the influx of the population now, it’s not as solitude an experience as it used to be but needs must. It’s certainly not like in the facilities of the military base where there would be a degree of privacy to Sephiroth’s own personal work-out, not that he’s ever going to let the occasional oggling from a bystander get the better of him.
Everyone could do with someone to spot them, sometimes, right? Who knows, you might be lucky enough to catch him running through something more weapons-oriented, or at least, those smooth movements to a stretching-and-reflex martial routine seem not to be so far off his actual combat style.]
