PT, week 2

[cathyw]

my legs are jelly. I think that means I did it right.

today's session involved a leg stretch that involved a position I didn't think I could get my body into. also an exercise involving putting weight on my feet at different angles that reminded me of martial arts stances.

which led me to wonder if there is a park in the majority-Asian neighborhood in town where elders gather to do tai chi, and whether a fat white girl who doesn't know tai chi would be welcome to join in, or whether I can take tai chi classes through the community college or the parks and rec department. but that is for later.

for sooner: cassildra  and I were both thinking 'I would rather die young than do the elliptical but I need cardio, we should get an exercise bike' so yesterday we picked out an exercise bike and ordered it. we will be the proud owners of a Schwinn 170 as soon as they can mail it to us. (which means I need to clean up the space I want it to live in, of course. *external screaming* but it needs doing anyways...)

it turns out yes, yes I can take a tai chi class through the community college if I am willing to exercise indoors with other humans in a pandemic. something to think about at least.

jelly legs is definitely "correct" for PT, I'm pretty sure.

You should definitely see if you can join anybody for tai chi! It's an exercise I've wanted to get into for a really long time... you've inspired me to look into it once more!

Also: good luck with the cardio ;n;
