A friendly reminder...

I was at Pure Barre yesterday (favorite class ever!) and when we were at the barre doing some plie-type exercises, I got a little aggressive and bent lower through my knee than I should have. It's really hard for me to respect my body's limits, especially when I am the only person under 60 not squatting to the ground. So I dipped a little bit lower, and my knee started to give me the "warning" sliding feeling. Plus, it hurt - which it usually doesn't, even when it goes out. So I stood back up and did the best I could to finish. These "listening to your body" lessons are hard for me - I guess it's good to learn them now. I will have plenty of time to be aggressive with it, like during rehab.
