One thing I would like to do this year is take better care of my body. Because I am not immune to the linear progression of time, and 50 is on the horizon, I need to be better about doing things to take care of it, like strength training and mobility/flexibility exercises. I would also like to get my cardio endurance back, but without access to a gym (no €), my only option most of the time is jogging, and, well, that hurts now in ways it didn't used to. When the weather isn't terrible, I can go biking, but I need a better/wider seat for my bike if I want to ride more than half an hour. Just walking doesn't get my heart rate up enough to be useful.
(Aside: how the fuck does "used to" work grammatically? Without looking it up, I'm going to guess it was an expansion of "I am used to X" in the sense of being accustomed to X, but I can't guess at the etymology of that expression. And I'm not going to look for an answer, because that's a rabbit hole for a different day.)
Anyway. I'm still doing roller derby, and I would like to reduce my risk of injury, which means strength and mobility training, and I also need to improve my cardio fitness for that, so I'm going to have to figure something out. And I need to be more agile on my feet.
I've already made a plan where I do some sort of activity every day. I have a YouTube pilates instructor and a mobility instructor that I like, so I want to do those 3-4 times a week. Mondays I have sport rehab, which is strength + flexibility but targeted at people in less physical condition than me, so I probably won't continue once my 50 sessions covered by insurance run out. Tuesdays are training, but unless they're doing footwork drills, there's not much point in me going (officials don't need to do gameplay stuff, lol).
Once my calendars arrive, maybe I'll use the weekly one for making training plans, too. (I did find a taker for the second daily planner, so that's good.)
