Goddess Time

I'm trying to incorporate more movement into my days to keep my muscles from feeling cramped after working out. I noticed that I felt really afraid to go for it and exert myself in Turbo Kick yesterday. I was afraid of pushing my muscles so much that I'd be in pain for the rest of the week. I'm not really sure where the limit is for me, but I think I passed on the day we did toning. The people in the class really seem to love toning. I can't say I'm a huge fan of it at the moment. I don't want my fear of overexertion to keep me from doing the best I can do in my workouts. So I'm going to start doing short sessions of yoga or other movement at home.

Today, being Sunday, is my default day of rest. For the most part, if I stick to my intended schedule for the week, Sundays should be free of "gym time." So I decided today to get a fun video off the shelf and have some Goddess Time.

This video is a series of gentle movements that gets the muscles warmed up and relaxed. That's exactly what I needed today. It also has some great reminders to stay mindful and in my body. I'm not the most graceful person, but after an hour of moving like a Goddess, I'm feeling pretty confident.
