100 Things: Fitness and Health posts (12/100)

Yesterday I made it to the gym with Special Guest Star FuzzyNumbers! Yay!

It was fun. We hung out on the recumbent bikes for awhile, she tried a new variety of treadmill, both did weights and stretching, and she showed me some tweaks to the half-balance-ball exercise board and also to the bridging exercise, that will help me isolate the muscles I need to be working with and also do additional work on my left shoulder, which I have been trying to get strong so I won't have the tendinitis recur.

Whole body feels pleasantly sore, and I've been stretching more yesterday and today than usual, because it feels good. Was doing a cross-step waltz through my living room, again because it just felt good.

It's a really nice change to be moving just because it feels good.

Our gym just got a new kind of treadmill - it's got a curved walking platform (with slats, if I remember right), and is manually-operated instead of electric. Is that the sort your gym has?

I think they do have one of that kind, lots more of the powered kind.

Got a tour yesterday after using the place for... 6 weeks? 2 months? And learned about machines I hadn't yet tried, and some new exercises to help meet my needs.

Was fun!
