Workout

[fabrisse]

The Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't need to touch me with his noodly appendage: I have noodly appendage's of my own.

Since the osteopena was threatening to creep back into my life, I decided to pay the personal trainer who lives in my building to train me. He's not too expensive -- though just on the edge of my affordability range (partially by dialing down my monthly Netflix and Zipcar subscriptions so that they're more in line with my actual usage). I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, but generally good. And noodly -- especially when he's concentrated on my arms.

I'm mostly working with my own body weight. He'll use suspension techniques. I do many of my push ups in midair with a TRX. It's fun, and works better than most free weights since I'm still barely lifting 5-10 pounds.

But still, very noodly.

I miss going to my trainer. Glad you're enjoying yours! And thanks for the reminder to dig out my resistance bands and actually use them.

It's amazing what some additional resistance does, isn't it? Even with the sprained ankle, I'm getting my workouts in. They're modified to keep from straining the joint, but they're still tough.
