Every year, the floor was getting a little further away. That is to say, it became harder to go from sitting on the floor to standing again, so I’d avoid getting on the floor unless the cat belly was particularly enticing.
I decided a few months ago to dig my medtitation cushion out of storage, and convert a small patio side table to a floor-desk for my tablet/keyboard, where I do the bulk of my internet time wasting.
Just this morning, I realized that I’m popping up and down with a lot more ease than when I started, so the floor is now officially at a distance it was at maybe 15 years ago.
Edit: This edit might break the rules, but this is the first post I’ve ever made that included the image of the post in the post.
Regular training is dull but useful for improving whatever skill you’re training.
Yes, something I need to keep in mind when transitioning from Gm to Bb major.
But I also think it’s worth mentioning that getting off the floor is a pretty significant metric for health as you get older.
Edit: Fuck that. I transposed down so now I go from Em to GMajor. It sounds better and it’s easier to play.
We shouldn’t over index on it, but I imagine it is a decent indicator for fall risk.
I heard about the study a couple of years ago and thought “I wonder whether I can do that”, lay down on my back and thought “how the hell would I stand up without using my hands?”
And my body just started doing shit, I learned that I could do it because my body just did it and I was kind of along for the ride.
It was a fun experience.
That was one way to do it, yes, but you also could have put your body into CAD and run several scenarios to see what the most likely and efficient method of standing up would be. But to each their own.
