I walked into the studio after finishing a one-to-one PT session.
Bindoo was doing the final few minutes of a yoga session.
Everyone was working on sitting their bum back towards their heels to stretch the front of the thighs and improve knee bend.
After injuring my knee playing football last year, it’s something I need to work on.
So I looked around and thought:
“There is absolutely no chance I’m getting that low.”
Then I said:
“Don’t laugh at me here…”
Everyone else looked much deeper into the movement.
But they had been practicing it for a lot longer.
I was the beginner in that moment.
And that was fine.
I worked at my pace.
I did what my knee could manage.
And even in those final five minutes, I improved and came away with something to practice.
This message from Jude sums it up brilliantly:
“The coaches will totally adapt every exercise to each person’s ability.”
We all have different strengths.
Different weaknesses.
Different injuries, aches and pains.
There will always be someone who can lift more, bend further or move faster.
But their pace doesn’t need to be your pace.
Your pace is the right pace.
The key is starting where you’re at and doing what you can that day.
That’s how you make progress.

PS. I’ll be practicing that knee bend again… and I won’t be waiting until everyone has gone. I’ll have to show my improvements
