Mii Not So Flexible…Apparently
On Monday, I had a follow up visit with my rheumatologist. I was so ready to gush about how much better I was feeling with my new meds and how I thought my health was on the up. Instead of being encouraged my progress, I ended up being discouraged by my doctor’s disappointment that I couldn’t do a toe touch when he asked me to do one. I know my flexibility sucks, but I figured my recent muscle gain and fat loss was worthy enough to celebrate. So anyway, long story short, the doctor told me that I need to get more exercise. He wasn’t too specific to my disappointment, but I’m guessing I need to do more exercise for flexibility.
So of course, when I think flexibility exercises, I think of yoga. I’ve never done yoga though I had considered taking it when I was going to college. I thought I’d never be good at taking direction as aerobics was hard enough to do! I was gifted a Wii Fit about a year and a half ago, and that was probably the extent of my yoga instruction. I guess it was fun but it was just one of those ideas that couldn’t stick. I figure as long as I don’t get muscle cramps, there is no need for me to be flexible.
Well, I figure it’s something I can try again. I’ll start with the Wii Fit until I can find a better plan that I can stick to.
