Yeah two days later and I'm still denied access. That is nuts. The power has clearly gone to some people's heads!
I don't have kids but whenever I roll my mat out, both dogs and one of the cats immediately come in and lie across all the floor space. Then my boyfriend comes in and tells me off for lifting weights dangerously close to their heads. I'm like, WTF am I supposed to do? They wont get out of the way. Then he looks at the screen and says 'I hope you don't end up looking like that!' Fat chance. I've been lifting weights on and off for decades and I'm yet to see a visible muscle on my body yet 😂- I know they're there cos I can feel them working but abs are made in the kitchen, as they say, and I enjoy my cooking far too much! Also the spray tan and bottle blonde look is very far removed from my no makeup, grey hair and pasty t-shirt tan aesthetic. I am far too lazy and tight to make that much effort.
Working out for me is a menopausal rage release, stress release, and so I can get through life without avoiding stairs, hills, lifting things or 'having a fall'. As I also fell run, I fall all the time, so knowing you can go down and correct yourself mid fall to not cause any injuries is vital. I allowed myself to get quite unfit and fat a few years ago through not prioritising looking after myself. I tripped over one of the dogs on a walk, went down hard and was injured for months. I can really tell when that base level of strength is gone even though I can never see it.
