Pointing Those Toes for dear life, because Strong can be Pretty too 🤭
On my own, I've been working a little on my pull/grip strength, my weakest areas.
To make it fun and engaging, I created myself a little flow on the rings: skin the cat to pencil to straddle to meathook.
I saw meathook and thought that looks cool, and crazy hard dangling from unstable rings with one hand.
Let's try that 😂
No timeline, no pressure, no shortcuts, just staying consistent. Doing, as in how I teach. And being somewhat positively stubborn to 'act my age' or let mid life chaos get to me🧘🏻♀️
Today I wasn't feeling that great with hayfever? and a sore elbow. But tried starting with a ring pull up, and ending in a one arm L-sit. Surprised myself and grabbed my phone 😆
It's a cliche but true, that having a positive mindset is everything. Focusing on the good can bring physical and cognitive benefits. Helping to offset negative perceptions of aging, and aid in active recovery through injuries, and illness.
