addendum to the fitness post

[swan_tower]

I begin to suspect that my standards for judging my fitness are slightly askew when I think, "I'll know my glutes are in good shape when I can do a grand rond de jambe en dedans and not throw my hip out when I go from derrière to à la seconde."

Not that I did that over Christmas or anything.

(I blame my mother taking me to her adult ballet class. They don't require you to be at those standards, but the problem is, my muscle memory doesn't remember how to do anything except at certain standards . . . which I no longer have the muscles for.)

I need to figure out fitness benchmarks that don't come from ballet.
