Perspiring, I was following the broadcast within an inch of my life, now I am here, in bed, in pain, bloody EXERCISE. There I am feeling euphoric and smug that I can actually do one semi press up without falling onto my face and then I receive a stark reminder that I am indeed, unfit. My hip has decided it does not wish to play ball, it is refusing to allow my frame to weight- bear upon it and the trusty old crutches have been retrieved from hibernation. I was clearly too enthusiastic with Elle Macphersons 90’s routine, at least I did not adon the lycra and wore a respectable lounge suit. Now that is an item of attire that 2020 will thank ‘Mrs Hinch’ for in the history books…. ‘Lounge wear’.
Basically, a pair of comfy PJs renamed to sound less slobbish. If I am wearing my ‘lounge wear’, I will be a productive, cool and edgy individual that has got their shit together in 2021. PJs is more along the lines of, laid on the sofa with snacks watching every episode of Grace and Frankie, having the odd sneaky snooze. Last Thursday I was sent a said termed ‘lounge suit’ from a dear friend and I was so grateful to at last be in with the ‘Jones’s’ of 2020/21. I have worn it a few times and I can confirm it is soft and comfortable- ergonomic if you will. HOWEVER, I just ventured with my crutches across the landing and caught sight of myself in them….my mind has taken solace that due to lockdown, no one apart from my significant other, has been subjected to the spectacle that was bestowed on me today. Did you know lounge wear was quite transparent? Well I affirm with you, from my humble experience and the product I have been gliding around the house in, they display your wares!!!!!! Now if I was a dynamic young trend-setter I just may get away with it but come on…. at my age? (Do not answer please, it is a rhetoric question only). All I can see is a middle-aged woman in see through PJs wearing scabby old underwear that is far, far too small for her. It is a sight to put you off your supper I can reassure you.
So, there you go… my intellectual, informative, post for today….. if you are wearing ‘Lounge wear’.. check in the mirror please. And, if you are just venturing into the secret world of fitness, take your time, pace yourself and wear Lycra…….hmm maybe that is where I went wrong.
