Consuela, sorry you had such a rough day, and I hope you can relax a little tonight.
What's everybody's plan to be non-sedentary today
Let's see... I ripped up a few layers of floor and subfloor in a 3 bedroom house, denailed a bunch of lumber, threw a whole bunch of stuff into a 30 yard dumpster, walked up and down a short steep incline about a hundred times, all while wearing a toolbelt weighing about 15 lbs. And mostly kept my temper, which was more isometric.
Steph - for your hip flexors and other tight muscles, do you know the exquisite torture of the foam roller? [link] [link]

So it's like a pool noodle, only firmer? Nifty!
Fuck the foam roller.
Seriously, that shit hurts.
I assume it works, but all I know is that it hurts.
We used to used foam balls and bamboo poles in theatre school. And rubber balls if you wanted a deep release. I didn't find it particularly painful. But doing jaw work with the foam balls was very drool-y.
I use the foam roller. I like the medium ones. I use them for stretching all the time and for rolling over my glutes.
The foam roller looks intriguing. I would use that in a heartbeat.
I was a little dissappointed that the new Sherlock pics weren't Benedict Bandersnatch and Martin Freeman.
My non-sedentary-ness involved carrying furniture down my stairs by myself-- the theatre is borrowing it and were coming to pick it up. They were two hours late, so I carried it out myself. If I could have gone on the bus with a bookcase, a coffee tabke, and end table, 2 chairs, and a child rocking chair, I would have done it.
I'm intrigued by the foam roller too but I am shit at exercising at home. I can't even get motivated to do the exercises my pt wants me to do with a rubber band for my ankle. Even though I'm very frustrated about my ankle not getting better. I want magic healing!
Can I make a confession? That Sherlock/Watson pic does absolutely nothing for me. No ping, no skew, no fanning of the face.
Maybe I'm broken.
