Trampoline!

Seriously folks! I've started taking trampoline lessons as a way to improve my aerial awareness. Now "aerial awareness" is a term I only learned a few years ago - b/c it pertains to knowing where one is in space when flying (trapeze, but also acrobatics, tumbling, trampoline, figure skating...think of events and activities where people "fly" and aerial awareness is key.

I left my last lesson with my body singing. Even hours later, I felt like my cells were rejuvenating and growing as if they were brand new! My body was literally buzzing with new learning and new connections. 

And this after only doing basic back drops for an hour. Much of that time was also spent looking at and talking about the physics of aerial rotation, vectors and the like. All new to me.

Wish I had a picture to share with you! We'll take care of that next time! :-)

Fitness, fun and discovery

Thinking a lot about fitness these days. The business of it. The marketing of it. The messages the "industry" sends out. And my own value system. 

In my view, fitness should be fun. Staying healthy should be part of what we all strive to do on a daily basis. Finding the joy in all this is what fitness is all about!

Discovering passion in movement. Learning what your capabilities are and how far you can challenge yourself in a way that feels good to YOU.
