I have discovered a new option for #DorkFitness! @letsjoyn, who never use their Twitter account but have a website and app FULL of many different movement classes that are size inclusive and accessible. We’re talking BIG BODIES MOVING, y’all, and it’s completely wonderful.

I’ve done a sun flow chair yoga class with Anna, I just finished Functional Fitness 101 with Wendy, and I’m looking at some other classes like dance and tai chi and even HIIT that I’ve been interested in but intimidated by in the past. #DorkFitness

Gonna keep using my #DorkFitness hashtag even if the Fitness I’m Doing on any given day is not particularly dorky because I know it’s a sensitive topic for some folks and this way you can mute and opt out. I get it and I love you.

#DorkFitness of today: boxing on the beach with Georgina! Physical coordination has never been a particular strength of mine, so getting to the point where I was nailing a seven-move combo in time with the teacher feels pretty good.

#DorkFitness of today: this restorative yoga class was a CHALLENGE. It’s so weird to me that “find your shape and then hold and breathe” can be so much tougher than a constant flow of different poses. Hello my hips, how y’all doin’? https://move.joyn.co/en/restore-repair?content_types_id=1&permalink=restore-repair">https://move.joyn.co/en/restor...

Restore & Repair

This restorative/yin style class will move us through a series of supported supine and seated postures with an extra long hold allowing you to rest, restore, and revitalize your body.

For today& #39;s #DorkFitness, I joined a LIVE @letsjoyn cardio class with Kanoa! Kind of a busy morning trying to fit this, and WandaVision, and the Pokémon announcements in around my work schedule! :D https://fb.watch/3V1C2RS0u9/ ">https://fb.watch/3V1C2RS0u...

Another live @letsjoyn class for #DorkFitness Friday! I don’t actually own a stability ball, but most of this class worked with a chair, and I could kinda improvise the bits that didn’t.

The hula class was a HILARIOUS study in the limits of my physical coordination.

Lei: Here& #39;s a simple pattern for your feet.
Me: Feet, 2, 3...OK, got it.
Lei: Now do this simple gesture with one arm.
Me: Feet, feet, arm...done!

#DorkFitness <cont>

Lei: OK now do the same thing with your other arm. Both arms at once, same simple gesture.
My Brain: <slams on the brakes> What the FUCK
My Body: <just completely stops working for a minute>
Me: <collapses in giggles>

Kate invites you to go inward, move SLOOOOWWW, and honor your needs. This restorative practice is most beneficial done on the floor at the wall or in your bed at the wall.

Such a lovely #DorkFitness class with Jessica today. Child’s Pose variant with elbows on the bolster turned out to be a sneaky triceps stretch, which felt REALLY good after yesterday’s weights class!
