Exercise and Dragons

The fighters in my books are all fighting trim, no extra flesh. Some of the mates are more rounded, less lean, but they all get out and about and let’s face it, flying can be vigorous exercise. But some of the visitors are packing a few extra rolls of flesh, complicating their movements and health. Not that sitting still is bad for a dragon and weight doesn’t pack on with a standard dragon diet as easily as some of the more caloric foods from humans, but it happens. So I was toying with the idea of a dragon who struggles with keeping the extra flesh off and invents exercises to help stay flexible and balanced.

Can’t you see some of the mates, human as well as dragons, getting behind that and turning it into a group exercise? A sort of yoga for dragons and humans… that should be worth a chuckle or ten.
