Se lever pour bouger

Youssef has not lived in Laval for long. In the morning he wakes up late and feels tired, because he works sitting down all day and goes to bed in front of the television in the evening. One Sunday, his neighbour Julie knocks on the door and asks if she is going for a walk in the park, and if he will come with her. Youssef hesitates, then gets dressed quickly.

Outside, the air is fresh, and they walk for an hour. Youssef feels good, and Julie asks if they will see each other again tomorrow. He answers yes. The next day, he gets up at seven, makes himself a coffee and hurries, because Julie is waiting for him in front of the building. After the walk, she shows him a small gym near the metro.

At the front desk, Youssef asks how to sign up. The employee answers that it is simple: you have to fill in this form and choose a plan. Youssef signs up that same day, but his old shoes hurt his feet. On Saturday, he goes to the sports store, introduces himself and says that he is looking for shoes for walking and running. The salesman has him try on three pairs.

Now, Youssef gets up early every day and feels stronger. In the evening, he no longer goes to bed in front of the television: he goes to bed early and sleeps well. Julie and he meet at the park every morning, even when it snows.
