Today’s video had me trying to touch my toes with a dumbbell.

Had I been on my feet, it wouldn’t even be a challenge. But with my feet pointing towards the ceiling I only succeeded once or twice.

A while ago I moved my workouts from the living room to the bedroom. There are fewer things here that I might knock down or stumble into. Not that I ever did, but it’s even better to not even have to worry about it.

The wool rug feels nice, both when I’m standing up and when I’m down on the floor. Soft but not too soft, and not slippery either. I’ve always liked being barefoot for my workouts – even at Friskis where I was always surrounded entirely by shoe-wearers.

It’s a good thing I don’t drip with sweat like some people. Then I’d need a separate gym area at home.
