I managed to catch the ALT ` fitness freak thing` when I first came to Japan. I was becoming quite smug at my increasing number of sit-ups. I remember one time sitting on Duncan's floor and boasting that I was now doing 50 every morning. I then asked him how many he usually did. He replied slightly akwardly " Urggh... about 250...but 50 is still really good Chan." I remember feeling panicked and saying " Oh my God - do I have to do that many?" and he said " You can do it Chanster.. I will help you." So from then on Duncan became my sports trainer.
He tried to teach me " The Duncan Secret tricks." I remember been stretched out on his floor, desperately pulling myself back and forth with a tremendous ache in my tummy that was increasingly intensifying with the giggles. I remember how he stood there, arms crossed wearing a blissfully amused expression on his face. It all became abit of a game. I would gleefully phone him from the gym whilst on the exercise bike saying " Punkton...guess where I am??? and guess what I am doing??" and he would sing down the phone " Go Girl..Go Girl... Go Girl!!!" And...he nver forgot the motivational importance of praise. " WOOOO..Channie..check out that muscley stomach- I can really see a difference- honestly I can!!!!!" Thankyou Punkton Duncan.x |
