Some experimental notes

 Morning stretchies, just about every day lately (\o/) now consist of:

• general limbering up / flailing limbs about
• touch toes / floor (in 1p), and then a back bend with hands supporting lower back (Deeta)
• arms out, pliee (bend knees) and twist trunk a few times before bending to each side
• arms out, twist neck to each side (PT)
• "trap stretch": one arm behind and the other on me head pulling gently down (1p) (PT)
• next bit is arm positions, breathing, and jaw exercises (PT and ballet)
• one foot (and arm) and then the other, on breaths (Alessia, Lazy Dancer Studio)
• forward prayer arm and shoulder stretch (PT)
• "tree" each leg, for a few seconds or breaths (ballet or Wii Yoga)
• cross leg forward stretch (hamstrings) (TLS 4.0)
• standing reverse, side, and forward leg stretches (each) (Garage Ballet)

with exercises after, like:

• squats sets (Hinge Health et alia)
• leg and foot exercises from walking class (Divina)
• ( some floor leg stretches (ballet class)
• leg lifts sets (TLS 4.0)

Besides just documenting the shift (and filling in sources later), I need to acknowledge and celebrate how much progress I've made in my movement and health work these many years. Although it takes astonishing amounts of time, consistently stretching and exercising (and eating better) has led to weight loss, increased flexibility and balance, fewer cramps, and more mobility than I had two decades ago and plenty of progress in ten years time as well. Keep going, us!
