I’m on Fitocracy~

I’ve been on for a while but neglected it, but just started using it again today. Feel free to follow me [fairverona] and message me your usernames so I can follow back!

tigertwo1515 asked: Hey I have a question. How would you say you are as far as flexibility? Is yoga the only way to really loosen your joints as far as stretching? I have a very physically job and sometimes come home feeling stiff as a board on both my arms and legs. If I knew how to properly stretch and become more flexible then maybe I wouldn't be in so much pain, possibly. I seriously feel like the Tin Man right now except I actually have a heart. Please help if you can.

I’m not a doctor or fitness trainer or anything, so you really ought to ask someone else if you’re super super concerned!

I’m pretty naturally flexible. I don’t actually do yoga, because I’d like to take a class so I can learn it properly and avoid injuries. Any stretching I do is either simple stuff I can learn online, or stretches I learned in colorguard or ballet that seem to do a pretty good job of loosening things up and helping me relax and stuff. So to answer your question, I don’t think yoga is the only way!

Stretching in general is lovely, it’s probably one of my favorite things to do.

Worked out again today! 4 week push ‘til Commencement, I got this!

Just finished a great workout! The run earlier was a mix of light jogging, walking/hiking, and sprinting, so it was a ton of fun.

Did a bunch of ab/leg workouts just now - I’m beat! Phew.

YOU GOT THIS (unless you don’t, then that’s okay too!)

Callie and I alternated walking, light jogging, and a tiny bit of sprinting, and it worked out okay! Thanks, Nani <3.

I feel so bad for you. I know your pain. Mine hasn’t been the same since I tore my meniscus. I walk different and stand different for life *cries*

Booo, David, I’m sorry D:. That’s so awful. Knee injuries suck :C.

I bought these shorts from Aerie last week! They’re a little tighter than I’d been expecting around the thighs, but that just gives me something to work for!

I love Aerie’s clothes so much, I’m definitely going to have to get some more of their activewear when I get a chance :3.

Starting the morning off with some workouts (I don’t care what time it is, it’s morning)! I’ve been sick and out of the game, but no longer!

My school had a Color Run today! I didn’t run, on account of my knee, but it was still super super fun (and cold),

So excited to do this in June!

My arms are so weak omg (totally mastered Intense Fitness Face though). I’ve been doing a bit of weight training, but I’ve just never had much luck with ‘em. The two years I did colorguard in high school, now those were the days. Such guns ;0;.

Worked out again today, go me! A little over 5 miles on the bike at the gym, varying resistance, + various weight machines, and then ab and leg bodyweight exercises at home. All followed by a lovely shower! I cut the shit out of my leg shaving. I BLED FOR YOU, SPRING, YOU BETTER STAY.
