Ugh, the next day after a work out doing things you never do with your body is ALWAYS the worst! I am in so much pain that I want to just die, because rigor mortis sets in and that means my body freezes and I don't have to move.
Yesterday's assistant teacher actually said "you want to lean your body to the point that you are just suspended in the air". I don't know about you but I can't fly, nor float for that matter, so to be told to bend sideways to the point that pieces of me are "suspended in the air" is not just difficult but seriously painful. Of course he showed us what he was talking about and he did indeed look like he was floating in the air but sweet lord is my body NOT ready for that. Suffice it to say I fell so hard I'm pretty sure I had to pick up my butt cheek when I stood back up.
This is just one of the reason's everything hurts. Of course the other reason is that I'm terribly out of shape. I have been gaining ridiculous amounts of weight, not working out even a bit and yet asking my body to hold itself up. I need to get it together because otherwise things are not going to go well. (sigh)
Oh yeah and tomorrow I'm going to start my derby specific workout routine. First thing I had to do was a test to see how strong my core was. I had to do a one leg/one arm up plank. I was able to hold that for ohhhhh.... I'd say 0:00 seconds. Yup, I couldn't even get my arm and leg off the floor. I'm going to blame that on the muscle soreness I'm already feeling and not on the ridiculousness that is my body! I recorded a video, if it wasn't so tragic it would be funny. I really hope that I'll watch it someday and think of it as funny. (sigh...again)
I'm still holding on; still working to make it through. I don't want to quit so I need to make sure I do the things off skate that will help me get there.
I also think I need a place to practice being on my skates... I'll see if I tackle this next week.
