Human pretzel

For those that have listened to me prattle on and on about aching knees, having hamstrings that are so tight I have trouble tying my shoe laces and have seen me hobble about post run with hot pack in situ you will be relieved, exultant in fact to hear that ….  I have done something about it!

Tonight I joined a group of slightly sadistic women who spent an hour trying to turn themselves in-side-out and back-to-front. I mean who knew it was good for you to balance on your right elbow, left knee and grab you right foot with your left hand!

Give that a go on a Tuesday night I say.

Now, to be frank I am about as flexible as a steel pole and I have always been so. At school I was the one the gym teacher actually had to push over to get to do a backward somersault. I just couldn’t make my back to curve, and I was truly a disaster when it came to cartwheels and other young-girl pursuits. So to have tried for an hour to twist, turn and get my abdominal muscles to do any sort of work was close to a miracle.

Right now I feel good……

But I am rather fearful of the revolution my muscles will be planning tomorrow morning..
