Please help me shape up my wobbly ass. My partner is happy I'm comfy, but I mean, I wouldn't mind losing weight still. I have quite some to lose, I'll still be comfy anyway

[Delphine]

oh my i sympathise, tho my ass is boney sadly so there's no upside. squats. but the key to squats which so many underestimate is that it's about core strength just as much or more than inner upper thigh, bc you need stability to keep in position and not put too much emphasis on your back etc. how's your core? maybe couple squats with these types of exercises: 

 

 

to exercise your core, then squats, then LUNGES

 

 

I HATE THESE SO MUCH but they do wonders!

 

Ok coach I will try these starting tomorrow pray4me

Did some yoga today, oof I'm proud even though I couldn't complete the lesson, some poses were too hard for me.

Thanks for the user who linked Yoga With Adriene, sounds nice and I intent on sticking to it even though i might fail.

Day 2 of Yoga is done too, it was messy and some stuff I couldn't do, but I'm hanging in there.

I feel like going to the swimming pool more often too, I have a pass on which I have prepaid places, and they're going to waste right now, but also the cold af weather isn't really motivating?

 

so true! my mom's constantly badgering me about my core. :|

 

Wait what?

Is your mom a PE teacher or something?

 

Because my core surely is something my mom would never think to badger me about.

I even have never heard her utter the word in the first place

no but she's a fitness nut  your core strength directly relates to your posture. it's the one thing my mom's always nagging me about. she's in super great shape and has the posture of a ballerina. 

 

Oooh I see, if she's into that stuff makes sense it would rub off on you too. And yeah I know what core strength is, it's just the concept of my mom nagging me about mine that was so weird to me, probably because she doesn't care about fitness at all :'D

 

But that would have been cool to have a fitness nut mom tbh, might have helped in a lot of things.

the most relatable description of yoga ever     

 

this is me but iN CLASS 

 

reminds me of the first time i did this position: 

 

 

and i wasn't 100% ready for it and i got stuck and panicked lmao 

 

Damn, that position though. Prolly won't be able to do that before a long while

Day 4 of Yoga is done. I skipped yesterday cause it was Sunday lazy day.

 

I like the way my body feels after each sessions, even though I suffer during those, but I also feel slowly getting back in touch with my body and my muscles, and it's great.

Didn't plan on doing Yoga today but I started to feel a bit frustrated over external things I can't control, and now I'm post-Yoga feeling much more relaxed and zen. Oof!
