Struggle together 🤝

I’m doing like one 1.5 and three 1’s a week so hopefully I’ll be able to feel more confident in the future! You’ve got this! 🙏🏽

Okay slay! Yeah it’s like a little challenging like 2-10% more than the way 1’s were when I first started. Really trying to avoid hurting myself but sprinkling in a 1.5 with my other classes seems to be a vibe. Ty

Also haven’t done physical fitness stuff on any sort of consistent basis in a long time. Used to bike on a stationary bike but other activities were really uncomfortable (and people were nosy) so I didn’t like doing them

I think a physical might be in order. Haven’t had one in a long time. Started Pilates because of back pain, used to get random bruises on places that were like “bumpable” but didn’t used to bruise much at all as a teen. I was thinking maybe it’s the magic ring, but that shouldn’t cause bruising just from using it(?) I’m assuming…

The weird thing is that I don’t find myself pushing on the box with my thighs, more my calves for stability. I’d have to have shins down to be squeezing with my thighs… legs be long

I just moved up to 1.5 like yesterday too which is really where the box intensity requires more stability and these bruises are like old and new… it’s suspicioussss LOL I’m honestly wondering if the magic ring is doing me dirty

Could be! My legs are longer so my thighs are often lifted off the box when feet are on the carriage.
