Thank you for this beautiful piece! I’ll take it as a sign to finally start going to the gym because I’ve been in a similar place with swimming. This line really struck a chord with me: 'The goal was always about the art, not the activity itself, which is probably why traditional fitness has always felt a little uninspiring to me.' That’s exactly how I feel.
Also, I’ve always admired ballet and have been in awe of ballerinas—your strength and grace are truly inspiring. 🩰💞
in some ways i relate so much to this as someone who tried everything(including lifting weights!) until i discovered and fell in love with running. i felt so proud of you when you finally decided to go to the gym and i wish you luck in the next steps of your fitness journey!
If you have ClassPass in your area it could be a more affordable way to get into a variety of dance and pilates classes (for some variety and the "flow" of dance). ClassPass helped me try a variety of things last year before landing on the types of movement I really enjoy (yoga, aerial silks, animal flow, and strength training!).
