Today's Body



We work out with the body we have today.  I say that a lot.  It’s particularly useful to remember on the days when we are tired or achy or recovering from injury or when an old injury flares up.

Today we might not be able to lift to our previous best level.  It might not even be a good idea to do an exercise that is a particular favorite in today’s circumstances.

But we can always do something.  Maybe it’s a walk around the block or a restorative yoga class.  Maybe we do a few bicep curls while sitting on the couch elevating a sprained ankle.

Pushing the limits doesn’t always mean going longer or faster or heavier than yesterday.
