I won a Facebook contest two year's ago around Mother's Day, and got to talk to Tracie for an hour. (Love her. She's great.) I told her how kind her workouts were for the 40+ set, and like me, she got tired of beating her body up. Like I said in the other Tracie thread, these discussions have me dusting off her workouts again to mix in with my Pilates and reformer work.
One of the benefits for me about getting older is the shift in my thinking about my body (and thus, my workouts). It used to be a punishment fest: I had to beat my poor body into submission and bend it to my will. I am much kinder these days: I have to take care of my body. Ironically, I look and feel so much better now. I went to a store the other day, and had to give the cashier's my debit card and driver's license -- both of which have photos of me that are 10 to 15 years old. The clerk (who was a stranger) looked at both, looked at me, and said, "Don't take this the wrong way, but these old pictures are not you. You look more like yourself now, and a whole lot better." Nice to hear. And true! AF Check out my blog at www.typeALC.com |
