Physical training lesson

As we are students of Physical Culture Faculty we have a physical training lesson every day. At the beginning of such a lesson the coach gives the command “Line up!” (“Fall in!”) and we line up in a single or double fill. Next come the commands “Dress!”, “Eyes right (left, front)”. “Look at your tiptoes!”, “Stand your tiptoes in a straight line!”. One of the students of your group gives the report.

He says: “Shun! Comrade coach, our group is ready for our physical training lesson”. Then comes the coache’s greeting, and we hear our coache’s command again: “At ease!” We stand relaxed while he explains the object of the lesson. During the lesson our coach gives different commands: “Attention! Count in twos!” “Right turn!”. “Forward march!” (“Ready go!”) “Round about turn!” “Double time march!” “Slow down!” “Keep in step!” “Break!” etc. We perform different exercises depending on the kind of sport in which we engage.

But we always begin our lesson with free standing exercises. Now we are at the physical training lesson in gymnastics. After several commands and preparation gymnasts begin their lesson. They swing and circle, perform exercises with different apparatus. Al the end of the lesson we again live up in a single file and say goodbye to our coach. Our lesson is over.
