As I'm getting older, I'm starting to get aches and pains... the worst of which is a lower back thing that seems to pinch on something which seems to result in pain in my foot. Generally it isn't a problem, but when I'm away from home for work and sleeping on various hotel mattresses and pillows, it gets quite aggravated. And there are times when the foot becomes so painful that it can barely support weight!
... which is a problem when you have to walk on stage! Anyway, at those moments, it is a grit the teeth moment and walk fast and confidently!
Anyway, my wife has been telling me that it is also the product of many years of not excercising regularly that is catching up to me... and she has been suggesting that it is probably a good time to start an excercise routine of some sort. I've sort had moments of half-arsed swimming, and walking, and then yoga starts... but nothing seems to really stick.
However, in the last couple of weeks, I've started doing Pilates Reformer... first as a intro session with my wife...
... and this is black magic excercising! Low impact, manageable 45 minute sessions... the studio is just down the road... and immediately after the first session, the lower back uncomfort was gone! Oh my gosh... this is truly the dark arts!
Anyway, I've immediately signed myself up for weekly lessons... and it is quite hilarious, I'm doing the beginner classes that are often doubling as the over 55s and prenatal classes. My wife does the more hardcore ones... but these are more than enough for me at the momemnt, muscles I didn't know I had are getting a workout...
... and for the first time ever, I'm feeling good and enjoying doing excercises! Although, it can be a bit weird being either the youngest person in the class... or the only guy...
... I start to feel like I've invaded a private space... oh well, I like it.. and it is good for me! So, I'm going to keep going!
