ππΌββοΈ So I just tried powerlifting for the first time at
ππΌββοΈ It was fun to try something brand new and a great reminder of the work of motor learning! π€
ππ»ββοΈ I was shown the components of each move, then talked through it, and even with my mature intact nervous system, I kept saying "wait what?" "Now what?" "wait, I'm scared". At one point the trainer said "bend your knees" and I literally said "how?!?!" as if I've never bent my knees before.
ππΌββοΈ All this made me think of my babies & big kids who are trying so hard to learn new motor patterns to help them become mobile. It's hard work and can be scary! To my kiddos who are scared and frustrated....I get it now!
ππΌββοΈ PS: my trainer was supportive, encouraging, and helped me build confidence. Highly recommend!
