It seems crazy to admit but I do. I go to a gym sometimes daily and lift big heavy barbells… and such. We used to make fun of this back in ballet world. And now I actually enjoy it.
For 6 months my husband begged me to join as he would trot out the door with one of our kids. I was too embarrassed to try something new. I could barely climb the stairs without sharp pain from my hip. I could not walk the room without limping- for heaven’s sake!
What was he thinking??
Then, I finally gave it a go- ever so cautiously. My son became my personal trainer, my husband my coach. They took such care to encourage me. And slowly, so slowly I became stronger and more confident. I learned to exercise differently.
There is zero cardio in my workouts, instead I focus on strength and carefully stretching in specific ways. It’s unlike anything I’ve done before, but it’s actually working. I can climb the stairs without pain and walk without limping. 🙌🏽 I’m so very thankful. -Anna
