My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

I begin a slow warm up keeping my back to them, I don ‘t need to see worried gazes. Circling my arms and stretching, then shadow boxing before fully turning to the bag is all that I need, my body still pretty loose from the workout we finished only a couple hours ago.
