It’ll be a while before I can properly step through into a lunge, I know from last time that it takes a while to get that level of flexibility. I’ll just have to help the leg in the meantime 😉

OatcakeMonster Jan 2023 5:20pm, 3 Jan 2023 523 posts	0 OatcakeMonster Late starter here, wasn't sure I was going to join in this year but here I am... Yesterday involved a very long drive so day 1 was ignored in favour of collapsing on the sofa with a pizza and a glass of wine (and very enjoyable it was too). Day 1 now done - like every year I'm surprised at how hard I find it on my shoulder muscles to stay holding table top position for any length of time! Hoping to get back in sync at some point this week as I'm still on annual leave until next Monday - should mean a double day is possible.

Occasionally, if I'm feeling especially stiff, then they still need a gentle helping hand but that was one of the moments I realised that the changes in my mobility/flexibility/strength were incremental and that regular practice really works for me.
