warm ups

[forgotten_aria]

One of the interesting thing about my lyra classes is that the warm up is combined with the pole class, which means it's this interesting blend of strength, yoga, and flexibility with just a hint of sexualization. I don't think I could ever really enjoy pole because of the sexualization of it, even though it seems like an amazing art form. (If this instagram thing takes off, I'll take a beginner lesson just for the variety of it.)

As with crossfit, I'm super glad that i'm already pretty strong, because the warm up is also pretty challenging (as it is, I can't do "low plank" which is basically pushup hold.)

I don't know if I've mentioned it, but the crossfit warm ups are what I used to call "working out," and would have killed me before TKD. It's kind of awesome that I'm at a stage where it really does just feel like a warm up now.
