i feel sore in places I did not know could feel sore
this is awesome
(no but seriously I feel so good for some reason, tysm???)
(also how often are you supposed to work out?? I've just been doing this every day when I can but idk if that's correct or not😭)
glad the workout's been good to ya! feeling sore means your muscles need rest (and that they're getting stronger), so try to aim for every other day when you're starting out. You can workout everyday if you want to, but rest days can be good for your body too, or consider lowering the intensity every other day. If you're just starting to workout for the first time in a while, it's good to start slow!
hope moving your body every now and then helps you feel more whole in yourself ^-^
"there's so much material online! courses! online classes!"
you dont understand. unless you strap me to a chair or lock me up in a room i WILL procrastinate endlessly. like a car stuck in a mud my mind will find a thousand things to do but not the one i should be doing
well. apparently I did something bad yesterday because I woke up with very very very bad pain in my shoulder/arm/upper back. I guess it's sore muscles but I don't know from what. 🙃
i am feeling very apprehensive about it due to feeling Not Well (chronic illness style) BUT tomorrow i'm gonna pump up the tyres on my bike and do 5 very gentle non-out-of-breath-making minutes on my turbo trainer inside.... that is not even 2 songs' length i can totally do that and there is no need to be so so scared!
If i can do it, then huge yippee and i can work on trying to hit a once a week routine, in which i can gradually increase the duration and intensity over time, and if i CANNOT. well then i know that i am not doing good which is also useful info to have and to tell my dr when i go soon (:
I CAN DO IT!!!
Just started exercising again. I tried to start off where I left off when I last stopped and it felt like I was going to die not even a quarter of the way in. So gonna stop for today and pick up tomorrow.
The thing about chronic pain is that I'll be experiencing the usual horrors (pain and discomfort that isn't possible to fully ignore) but I'm not even phased, like this is just a normal Wednesday night for me.
