Aging sucks, but as I’m frequently reminded it beats the hell out of the alternative. This past October I celebrated my 60th birthday. Six decades on this earth have taken a toll on my body. I’m no longer the svelte, lithesome broad I once was. And everything hurts.
My ankles hurt, my thighs hurt, and my hips seem to be stuck in neutral. I’m okay as long as I move forward, just don’t ask me to pivot or cha cha. Damn, I miss cha cha-ing.
A Facebook pop up advertisement (amazing how they pick up on my personal needs) prompted me to check on exercises designed to ease those frozen hips. Apparently, if I could stretch my hip flexors, I might achieve full range of motion. I could once again cha cha.
I turned to Google, and this stretch was the first thing to appear under “hip flexor stretches.”
Honestly. I can’t cha cha and they expect me to do this? I tried. Lord knows I tried. Studly Doright walked in during my attempt and laughed so hard I would have slapped him if I could’ve gotten up off the floor.
I’ll be in the whirlpool tub if anyone needs me.

Peace, people.

Sometimes they fail to understand that if a person can’t cha cha, perhaps they cannot do those hip loosening exercises either! Either way, you may not be able to do the cha cha physically, but you project a mental image of it so well that you might as well have been doing it all over your blog! 60 is a lovely, round number don’t you think? 🙂

When I finish my workout at the gym on the stretching mat, I pray no one is watching me. I know it’s not pretty. Solidarity, my friend. – Marty

I’m woefully inflexible (unflexible?). I’ve never had great range of motion, and now I have no range of motion. Sad.
