Remember all the cardio I did the other day? It's come back to bite me in the ass, literally. So many cramps in places I didn't even know had muscles. Had to skip gym today because of all the gym last monday, what the hell. Not to mention Sakura is feeling extra cuddly today, and doesn't understand why everytime she jumps on my stomach I push her

Ti faccio compagnia allora, per così dire, mi sono storta la caviglia di nuovo... T__T per fortuna non in modo pesante, però lo strappo l'ho sentito eccome... brrrr....

[nausicaa83]

NOOOOOOO, tesoro, come è successo????? Quale delle due????

[tati81]

Sinistra ormai non faccio più caso a quale delle due. Avevo il polpaccio e il piede formicolanti, e appoggiando la gamba a terra i nervi hanno deciso di girare il piede invece di metterlo dritto, ho cacciato un urlo, più per lo spavento, perché poi in effetti il male è passato quasi subito.

Povero tesoro, mi spiace!!!!

Haha, you totally sound like me after exercising! I haven't taken up running yet (I want to start next week, because I've been putting it off forever), but I had a pilates class yesterday and now my tights and belly ache. After a pilates class. Feel free to point and laugh at me if you want :P

Omg the Hobbit artbook! I'm ashamed to admit I haven't got any of them yet, but I plan to get one (perhaps the first one) on Book day, which is only two weeks away. What's the new one about? Is it as pretty as the previous one?

Oh man, I hate pilates. My back is very delicate, and pilates kills me. Cardio is great, but it has to be a regular thing, otherwise I get lots of cramps.

The artbooks are both awesome! This one is about the characters only, with interviews with the actors, make-up department, costumists and so on. The first one is about the world, with concept art and so on. *________*

I was afraid Pilates would be bad for my back (I'd suffered from back pains for years), but it's actually helping! The girl who teaches my class knows about it, anyway, and lets me knows whenever a particular exercise can hurt either my neck or my lower back.

I don't know why I haven't got any of the artbooks yet, because both of them sound (and look, although I haven't had a look at the character one anyway) incredibly awesome.

There are a couple of pictures here to give you an idea:

As it turns out, nobody loves Thorin as much as Richard Armitage does. His comments on the character are incredibly insightful and utterly adorable.

I sympathize with the aching limbs and lactose build-up in the your muscles. When I can, I always soak in a hot tub after exercise to release some of that stuff and keep the cramps from going spastic. Hot water bottles help a bit, too.

Good luck with getting stronger! It helps with depression and other feelings.

[nausicaa83]

I don't have a bathtub, in 2009 I re-built the bathroom from scratch and put a shower stall instead. With my low blood pressure I can't take hot baths, otherwise I might faint and drown.

Tati gave me a super technologic new hot water bottle for xmas, I plug it in and fifteen minutes later it's boiling hot. I called it Thorin Le Boule and spent almost every night since cuddling with it. :D But when the cramps come, the cramps stay.

Thankfully I don't suffer from depression, the gym is only to get my heart and lungs back in working shape after the cancer. It works better than I thought, but my muscles hate it when I take breaks like last month.

Arnica? Cos'è, un'erba? Me la devo segnare! Io mangio banane, col potassio riesco a controllare i crampi, ma non sempre bastano.

[nausicaa83]

Interessante!!! Eh sì, i crampi sono la mia croce, a gambe e piedi (quelli alle dita dei piedi poi sono dolorosiiiiii).
