Been going to water exercise classes and loving them. I am always the youngest person there by several decades and the music rocks. You get SUCH a good work out in, I swear it’s like reformer pilates but way cheaper. It doesn’t hurt your joints. You get stretched and pulled. Afterwards you soak in the hot tub with the old gals and gab

I first took this class because it mentioned pilates and I'm trynna be that girl, but then I entered and realized it was full of old people who are much more flexible than I. I've been coming every Thursday evening since then, it's the perfect way to end the week!! the end of the class is always a 5 minute meditation moment where i lay down and picture myself in a green field and it doesn't get any better than that!

Back in the day (aka like 4 years ago), I used to wake up early on Sunday mornings to lifeguard the Aqua Tai chi class at the Indianapolis JCC for a ripe $12/hr. I hope i can’t get in trouble for this now but i must admit that I occasionally fell asleep while i ought to have been diligently at my post. It was sooo warm in there, and the instructor would put on this nice flute meditation music, so there was really no way I was gonna make it out of that pool as a star employee.
Anyways, I have to take a PE class now to graduate college, and I have had the delight of taking Tai chi this semester (inspired, of course, by that very JCC Aqua Tai chi class). It’s a physical and mental meditation, but also a fr workout. Some things I think it helps with: balance, flexibility, bodily awareness, reflexes, mindfulness. Also, low-impact and modifiable to suit different levels of mobility, meaning it lends (or rather, suggests) itself well to long term practice 😌

I’ve been doing it for years and the hype is true. Stronger core, better posture, increased flexibility, a more balanced body composition, deep sense of mindfulness
The only downside is how ridiculously $$expensive$$ it is, but most studios offer new clients specials and/or class packs at a discount.

I’ll use my hand to slosh water where I want it or froth up the soap suds, or my nails to scrape at something stuck-on. It always feels like a hack, something I’d forgotten I could do. it reminds me of what perfect tools my hands are.

If you’re vibing whatsoever at all with your server put your life in their hands. They know what’s best on the menu, the real classics, the deep cuts. And as a server I have so much more fun doing this, I’ll always put my friggin heart in it.

sleep will forever be a mystery to me. I can do everything the same but never is my energy level predictable. So that one day a week I have that BOOM level vitality, I cherish. The rest of the time I try to be nice to myself and await the special day a’comin
