When he is in the right mood he plays whatever you teach him. If he is not (and that is most of the time) you have to push him up the hill. I spend my classes with him talking, playing, trying every trick in the book to make him learn; yet, it is always donkey’s work. So many times I have given up telling his mother I cannot teach a child with no desire, but the mother always says:
Hakikisha unakunywa maji kidogo kidogo wakati ukifanya mazoezi, na ikiwezekana ule tunda kama ndizi mbivu mara tu ukishamaliza. Ulaji unatakiwa uwe wa mpango. Usile hadi tumbo likajaa sana; ila kula milo midogo midogo ya mara kwa mara. Kwa wale wanaotaka kupunguza vitambi; tukumbushane kwamba matumbo makubwa hayawezi kupungua kwa mazoezi ya tumbo (“sit ups”) peke yake. Kuvimba tumbo hutokana na kula sana vyakula vya mafuta na wanga bila kufanya mazoezi. Hivyo kuviondoa kunawezekana tu kwa kupunguza kula sana huku ukifanya mazoezi yanayotoa jasho (Cardio).
