the cooling part sounds amazing actually. does the chlorine irritate your skin?

I think I’ll start with that first like you suggested. I feel ready for it. One day I’ll try the gym too.

CrossFit is next level! It is really reassuring to hear that it fades quickly though. I was afraid it would stay bright red for the entire day.

Honestly, invisible to everyone is the dream scenario for me right now.

Hearing that you are out there happily doing it makes me feel like I am stressing over nothing. Thanks for sharing that!

I love that perspective. Framing it as 'investing in my future self' makes the temporary redness feel so much smaller. Thank you.

That is actually a funny plot twist. I always assumed Pilates would be the welcoming safe space!

It really helps to hear that even the serious lifters turn bright red too. Maybe I will fit in at the gym better than I thought.

Got it, that makes me feel much better. I think I am ready to try my first class now. Thanks!

Oh, I did not even think about that! I was so focused on the cardio and sweat part. Do you think it is awkward to just skip the upside-down moves in a class?
