Dai Li stood to the side awkwardly. The movements of the weight loss exercise looked like the broadcast exercises that students did in school a lot. It didn't surprise Li that Coach Xu thought it was a broadcast exercise. He didn't explain because he knew it wouldn't change anything. Only the people who had practiced the exercise with him would know about its results.
However, it annoyed Feifei Yu a little it. The exercise had helped her lose a few kilos in a short period of time. She had no doubts in both this exercise or in Dai Li. She stated, ”Coach Xu, this is not a broadcast exercise, but a weight loss exercise.”
”Weight loss exercise?” Coach Xu frowned and continued asking, ”Where did you learn that from?”
”Coach Li taught me.” She pointed at Li and continued, ”Excuse me, I forgot to introduce you two. This is Coach Li from the provincial sports university. He has been helping me train these days.”
She turned to Dai Li after she finished. ”Coach Li, this is Coach Xu from the provincial swimming team. He is also my esteemed coach.”
”I've heard of Coach Xu for a long time. It's nice to meet you.” Li stretched out his hand immediately.
Li had heard about him many times through Feifei Yu. His name was Zhongyi Xu, an ex-swimmer. He became a coach after he retired, and his wife was also a famous swimming coach. Feifei Yu began swimming around the age of six. Mr. and Mrs. Xu were both working at the sports school at that time. She became Zhongyi Xu's student, and was treated like she was their own daughter. After that, Yu got into the provincial team, while the couple was promoted to swimming coaches for the provincial swimming team. They continued teaching her until she joined the national team. Zhongyi Xu was also promoted to the main coach of provincial swimming team because he had cultivated the world champion Feifei Yu. He was one of the best, even among the entire provincial sports team.
A few days before Feifei Yu had just come back to the provincial team, the couple had just brought some of the athletes to the north to train. He had come back to Qing City this morning, and the first thing he did was come to find his talented student Feifei Yu. Yet he had only just found out that she was here practicing weight loss exercises.
With Li's hand still in the air, Zhongyi Xu didn't show any politeness. He snickered, ”What a messy exercise. This is the official training room, not a gym!”
As a professional coach who worked for more than 10 years, he didn't believe anything like weight loss exercises. To Zhongyi Xu, it might be effective for ordinary people, but not athletes. It was just a waste of time.
The mechanisms in weight loss exercises were still about consuming energy. No matter how many calories the exercise could burn, it could never compete with high intensity training for athletes. To Xu, the movements of this exercise looked exactly the same as the broadcast exercises that were meant for primary and middle school students. He felt that this exercise couldn't even make people sweat.
Li felt his malice. Xu stopped him just as he was about to explain. Xu stared at him and said with a very strict tone, ”Coach Li, you are pretty young. How did you become an official coach at the sports university?”
