Gymnastics #2

[flexagon]

This gymnastics class was different from the first one in a lot of ways. More people showed up this time, and the initial part of the class (aside from the initial laps around the track) was completely different. We had to do ab stuff, and some leg-conditioning stuff, which were pretty much impossible for me after doing squats on Sunday, and after that they set up some different practice stations and it was kind of a free-for-all. Somewhat disappointing -- if we did the same things every week, I could theoretically observe myself getting better at them over time.

Cool moments: I did a back walkover (the kicking over part) all by myself on a foam wedge, and also a back handspring with a spot. My cartwheels/roundoffs were better too.

After last week strained my right forearm I've gone back to pretty religiously doing my forearm routine in the morning. It takes a little time, but I'd forgotten how good it feels. And this week my forearms seem okay -- go figure!

*cough* rest day....

Hehe, anyway, great job on the back handspring! (And everything else of course too, but back handsprings are fun.) Is it wrong that when you mentioned foam wedges, these (http://www.holisticwisdom.com/sex-toys-wedges.htm) are what I thought of?

I am resting, you mother hen. Rest day is today.

And ha, the big foam wedge (they call it "the cheese") does sound like the Liberator. On rather a different scale though. :)
