I need to learn to keep my mouth shut

switch842Last week in ballet class when we were doing grand battements, the teacher talked about how it's really your stomach helping to life your leg up and you're not just lifting it with the thigh. Earlier this week, I was working out a bit and was on the floor doing some crunches when I remembered that once upon a time, my previous ballet teacher would have us do grand battements laying down on the floor. It helps isolate the muscles you need to be using so you don't just rely on pushing off the floor to get your leg up.
Today in class, I mention this to the teacher since I was there a little early and we kinda chat about stuff before class starts. So, she says that they had done that before and, in fact, have done entire classes in center away from the barre. And, hey! We should do that today!
*facepalm*
I. Am. So. Sore.
And my back is killing me. I think I'm gonna need to break out the heating pad. We're supposed to go out for dinner tonight for my brother in law's birthday. Restaurant chairs usually aren't very comfortable. Awesome.
