Thermo I’ve found some workouts really bad on my knees. It’s amazing when I got my physio to watch me doing some moves how much of a small tweak she made to me that made such a difference. She also was very against a number of exercises saying they did more harm than good even when form was fine. I know physios can be like that bit she was really good at wanting me to continue exercising. Can you work out in front of a mirror to check form? That really helped me. If not, maybe stick your phone on camera on yourself to keep an eye?
Yumy I know what you mean about the work thing, I’m having similar thoughts (although I am a teacher!). The things I’d love to retrain in wouod take so long to do and cost so much it would take years to make it worthwhile financially. All I’ll say is consider your mental health with what you would get the most from in your decision. FWIW I wouldn’t say don’t go into teaching, but I’d you do, go in with your eyes open that it is really hard, stressful, exhausting work, and I do think of it as more of a vocation than a career iykwim. The holidays are great from a childcare pov but if I work out an hourly rate for how much I get paid for how long I spend working it’s literally not much more than minimum wage. But it can be incredibly rewarding. I’m secondary but happy to answer any questions you might have. TA would be a great idea as you get to see how things work and if it’s for you.

at the burns! I haven’t heard of the work but it doesn’t sound easy just from the name!
Well, somehow I’ve bucked the trend and lost a couple of pounds in the past couple of ,months! I’m eating a lot more thanPre preg (although still bfing 4xday) and very sedentary so I’m guessing it must be down to having longer runs as I was doing 20-30 mins maybe 4K and now I’m trying to do 6-8k. Atm I’m doing one run a week for 45 mins or so, one cycle for about the same and one bb or LMOD work out. Yesterday I was struggling so much mentally with everything I did body balance 85 (the outdoors one) and it was just what I needed. I LOVE the balance track so much. I kmow this sounds totally cliqued but I was in such a bad mental place and then doing that and I was just totally in the emotion of the songs and moves and Diana was doing a move where you kind of balance to the point of almost falling over and she said something like ‘what if you fall, it what if you fly?’ And it just made me weep and I was in tears because it felt so relevant to me and returning to work in a week from mat leave and I did the track with tears down my face! Which I kmow sounds ridiculous and probably highlights my mental state atm, but I was so grateful for doing the workout.
