Still traumatized

The follow-up story to my one-on-one-in-the-gym-hell story is I bought the first self-help book in a very long (maybe should read never) time.

At the trainer’s recommendation, I decided to check out Peter Egoscue’s Pain Free. I mean reading a book that has exercises in it is practically the start of my career as an Olympian (seniors’ division). Hell, I might even try one.

Truth is, I do hurt more than I think I should. Long walks mean pain in my legs while strolling and, when I stop, stiffness in the usually suspected places (and not the good kind, since I don’t have one of those stiffness agents). Personally, I suspect my god-awful stooped posture. And, for my god-awful stooped posture, I blame my tits.

Basically, in a world where it’s 1972, you’re a good foot taller than the tallest little girl in your neighborhood, t-shirts are worn tight and clingy, and you’re growing relatively prodigious melons on your chest, you tend to hunch. I would hunch or stand on one hip to lower myself to less heightened norms. I’d positively bend forward (clutching a book or notebook tightly) to divert my breastages from direct view.

The trainer recommends rolling around on the floor with one of these roller thingies that all the kids are using in the gym these days. Foamrollers

Apparently, sliding it under my back and shoulders, nipples reaching up to the rafters (or heavenward, if you’ve ever seen my rack), and my as yet unsprouted dowager’s hump will become a statuesque upright. Reading a book and rolling on the floor, it’s a fitness regimen I might actually be capable of mastering. I mean I read like a son of a bitch.

The best part for me of buying the self-help book was walking around with it. M. and I walked into what I consider one of the more amusingly Bay Area cliche of a healing book and gift store.

I entered snarkily mocking the flier out front for the lecture by a chick to help you get in touch with the angels. Better yet, I discovered the prominent display for this little wonder of new age malarkey. Oh yeah, “quantum” mechanics creating fortified healthy water, stirred not shaken. If M.’s aunt hasn’t yet discovered this company, and they have a branch anywhere in Asia, it’s just a matter of time.

So, I walked in offensively judging, as is my wont, but I clutched Pain Free to my bosom. I hope the hippies figured out it was just the hurt crying out.
