To this day, Jadka, who aspires to become a great Mage, has persisted with his training regimen for over a month. The old man, highly conscious of the crisis that his frail constitution could delay his path to becoming a Mage, has rigorously stuck to a daily routine ever since returning from the Mage Guild: sixty sets of push-ups, sixty sets of sit-ups, sixty sets of squats, twenty sets of one-finger handstands, twenty sets of three-finger single-arm push-ups, a ten-kilometer weighted run, and a fifteen-kilometer weighted swim…
Like many Mages, Jadka chose a strict and persistent self-discipline approach to fitness, the Spartan way. However, unlike others whose self-discipline meant 'trying not to forget to eat' and whose persistence was 'striving for early bedtimes and early risings,' Jadka sees self-discipline as committing to a daily 'Diesel Comprehensive Body Hardening Exercise' -- a notion severely skewed from his upbringing.
