Days of Hands

I’ve been trying to incorporate derby-related exercises in my every day activities.  When watching TV, I hold a deep squat for the length of the commercial break.  I do the same thing when post marking the outgoing mail at work.  I do lunges when I walk around the office and at home I use my 25 pound critter as a weight.  We also play a stretching game that he thinks is hilarious.

I picked up some of those resistance bands, and love how you can use them for every kind of exercise imaginable.  I love that they were inexpensive and take up almost no space, and I can tell they are doing some good.  I’m still working on strengthening my ankles, so I use those bands for awhile every day or two.

Tonight Mo and I are meeting up for dinner and Open Skate, and have a list of derby skills we’re going to work on.  I’m looking forward to the whole evening!

(And yes, I was actually able to find some thigh-high stockings that are striped like a barber’s pole…  what luck!)
