I keep wanting to post in here more than just once a week but between work and Tilly's extremely rigorous bug toy schedule it's just not happening lol. Or maybe I just have to get better at shortform posting here 🤔
Yesterday I finally went out and got a foam roller & exercise ball like my PT recommended - I'm hesitant to inflate the exercise ball because I don't. have a whole lot of space in my room to keep it. but the foam roller at least is easy to store. The upper back exercise(? stretch?) they have me doing with it feels soooo good after a long day, even if it does also engage my core quite a bit.
The one thing I am having trouble with is the fact that they want me to stand during my commute more - he explained it's different from standing at work all day because at work I'm like semi-hunched over the table the whole time and I need to be using the muscles that straighten my back more but a) my legs hurty, b) train etiquette means sitting down so more ppl have room to fit in the train, and c) when I can sit down that means my commute has become valuable video game/drawing time. Maybe I'll make more of an effort to take walks on my days off instead.
