Wellness in Höchenschwand II
Our first ‘lesson’ today was ‘Progressive Muscle Relaxation’. Would you have any idea what to expect from ‘PMR’? I had only faint prejudices, but they were all confirmed:
We started with throwing little cloth bags to each other while calling the catcher’s name. Then the ‘real’ program began: “Now we close our eyes and breathe in… Strain your neck muscles now… keep it strained… Now relax it again while breathing out… What do you feel? Concentrate on your inner self… Does your neck feel different now?” And so on and so forth. The whole thing was also accompanied by some relaxing music in the background.
As you might have guessed, I did not fell ANY different after straining and then relaxing and concentrating on any of my muscles. -Maybe I am too dumb for this kind of exercise…?
Second lesson today: Theory about our spine, what it looks like and what you should avoind if you want to keep it healthy taught by a funny Italian physiotherapist.
What I learnt: ‘Don’t rush, do everything piano, piano.’, lying is better than standing which is better than sitting, sleeping in the embryo position is bad for you, so I should rather quickly change my way of sleeping.
Tomorrow: Spine gymnastics at 7.15 in the morning. -So much for ‘let’s do some relaxing wellness holiday…’
Person question of the day: Why do huge and fat people who choose the module ‘nutrition/eating’ and nevertheless eat 6 sausages for dinner pay the same contribution to their health insurance as I do?
