Blogging in the Rain

I am more than halfway through Peter Attria's Outlive, and I'm really enjoying it. It is sort of preaching to the choir, and it certainly doesn't challenge my own thoughts all that much, but sometimes it is good to read something quite scientific that supports your own logical conclusions. I do do much of reading the other side, but that can grow weary. This is like a breath of fresh air.

Today I watched a handful of movement videos, and I plan on adding some things to my movement routine. For now that will likely be: some very modified step-up hinges (at a very low height for my left hip, which has improved so much but still feels like my most challenging body project); breathing exercises (breathing properly is somewhat a strength for me, but it is so easy to fall off on this and we breathe so many times every single day - I want my form to stay proper and strong); standing toe exercises (to supplement my sitting toe exercises); and some balancing exercises to really target my lower leg strength. I also have some ideas on how to work better (harder) on my getting on and off the floor work. I will also likely mix up my scapula CARs more (in different positions, with my arms in different positions), and try out using a helper during my segmented cat-cow work to keep my more on track there (and maybe to make it more fun).
