Stretching Sessions

I've been stretching now since Saturday night, and I'm already progressing quite well. This morning I was even able to fully get down into the front split with my right leg forward. Granted, it was not comfortable by any means, but that will come with time.

My sessions are around 12 minutes each, so that's 25 minutes - plus quick stretches periodically throughout the day. One thing, though, is that the stretching sessions are hard. I remembered them as being relaxing. This isn't the case now. It hurts to stretch! I guess this will get a lot easier once I can do my splits comfortably. Until then, I'll need to continue plugging away.

I have my trapeze private lesson scheduled for Saturday at 3pm. It will be very interesting to see what I can still do.

I'm going to need to do some weights tonight - or at the very least some abdominal exercises. My muscles are still a little sore, though, from the weekend. I'll have to see. I'm going to want to have my muscles completely recovered by Saturday, though, so maybe I'll just do 1 weights session this week. Then, once I get my regular Thursday trapeze schedule going, I can switch to weights on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
