arianrose Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hey all! I'm new to the forum, and I honestly never thought I'd find myself here. You see, my deep dark secret is ... I really hate bodyweight exercises. I really, really do. That doesn't mean I don't plan to do them. I'm usually a dancer (Middle Eastern, "belly," if you prefer), but a recent bout of tendonitis and plantar fascitis has taken me off my feet for a few months. I mostly need to heal and strengthen before I can start dancing. And just because my feet aren't working right, that doesn't mean I can't keep strengthening and toning* the rest of me, right? By day, I'm a software tester/business analyst/project manager, so I have a nicely geeky job. Actually, I describe my job alternately as "geek-adjacent" and "geek translator," since I'm frequently the one translating developer-speak into something non-developers can understand. By night, I'm usually either playing WoW**, knitting, or reading sff. I'm old enough to remember playing games on the original NES with my dad, and I remained faithful to Nintendo consoles through the N64 (Ocarina of Time is still one of my favorite games). With the Gamecube, I jumped ship to the PS2, and spent many, many hours playing JRPGs. Right now, I don't have a current gen console (too pricey when they first came out), but I'm looking at picking up an XBox, so I can borrow games from all my friends. I also harbor a grudge against Playstation for not making the PS3 backward compatible. *I'm not using "toning" to describe looks here, which is silly. I mean "toning," like you would tune a piano, or an engine. Getting max DPS out of my body. That kind of toning. **My main is currently a Gnome Shadow Priest, but I played a Prot Pally for years. Just didn't like the prot changes in Mists.

Hermione Gainser Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Welcome! You can definitely keep on working whatever you can in any way you like! I've had the tendonitis. So annoying. I'm also a nintendo fan. I really miss my SNES (it finally stopped working).

arianrose Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm also a nintendo fan. I really miss my SNES (it finally stopped working). I'm still babying my third PS2, because I've got so many beloved games I'd hate to give up. And I only got rid of my GBA when I got an iPhone. (Yeah, I had all the handhelds, too.)
