I had a bit of a week last week and was a few classes behind. Did two yesterday and two today and I’m finally caught up, but man am I beat lol.

This one was a little more technical. I kept getting the positions mixed up between right and left, but I finally figured it out in the second round.

And the faux kettle bell swings… I’m borrowing by brothers adjustable dumbbell and.. yeah.. I wouldn’t recommend it lol. I don’t know if it would have actually come apart, but it gave me enough of a scare when my cat sat on the bed in front of me that I mocked the faux kettle bell with two 15’s crossed and rested on my knees. Adjustable dumbbells have proven to be more trouble than they’re worth with how we use the heavier weights in creative ways. The adjustables do not do creative very well.

That’s it, my update is: I’m all caught up, I’m feeling great, and my cat is still alive 😅🙀

Hi, I’m Sam and this is my fourth day here but I felt the need to comment.

I’m more or less here for the same reason. I had a pretty long hiatus over coved after I unintentionally moved back into my parents house. After a while the industry I worked in kind of collapsed and I got stuck. You can imagine how good that was for my sense of self. I eventually accepted that this was life now and slowly started trying to make it work. I had left a guy I was seeing assuming I was only going to be gone a couple months at the most so that obviously ended. And then I just got use to life in lockdown I guess. I already worked more isolated jobs so the social distancing stuff wasn’t too bad. But then things started opening back up and I was still depressed from abandoning my life on the other side of the country so I didn’t go out much.

Fast forward to late 2024 and I got a job that was much close to what I use to do and I was really starting to feel like myself again. The weight was starting to come off, my confidence was getting higher, and then enter this guy out of no where that got me thinking about a lot of stuff I hadn’t thought about for a long time. It didn’t end up working out with him (which is for the better lol) but I’ve realized that even though I have a pretty physically demanding job, I do not have any of the muscles or endurance for spicy couples yoga anymore lol. And more than that, other than the more obvious and straight forward mechanics, I don’t even know what to do anymore. You’d be surprised the kind of instruction and techniques I’ve been trying to look up lol. I swear it’s like starting over.

What brought us here specifically is different but I think our general reasons for being here are the same.

I went back and found the post you mentioned and made a playlist. Thank you for that. Right now I’m working on hip strengtheners and openers and generally concentrating on lower body. Give me some time and I may be posting a question like yours in the future lol.

Thanks for your original question and for your update. You’re doing amazing. Giddy up! 🤠🐎
