Yesterday I received an email from a person who was thinking of stopping attending a class, as they were embarassed at how slow they could get up from the floor.
Replying to their email I acknowleged that getting up wasn't easy for them, but they could do it. That no-one else was bothered or even noticed. And hoped that they would come back in 2025, as they were doing great.
I am proud of everyone who gives a move a go, doesn't give up easily and finds alternatives that work for them. Be proud of yourself, you've got this.
Following the above Facebook post some lovely comments were received:
"If that person is reading this you are not alone. I too struggle to get up from being on the mat. It's one of the reasons I started coming to one of Debbie's classes. The aim to become more flexible and gain strength back into my muscles spurs me on. Laugh it off and carry on."
"Debbie's classes are great as everyone is so busy enjoying themselves, no one notices anyone else. Debbie always offers various alternatives available so everyone can choose their own level without feeling embarrassed or 'singled out'."
