I had said no rush on prezzies, but I was living to regret it.Īn hour later, a gentle nudge of my leg, thrown carelessly outside of the blankets, brought me awake. I slipped on my sleep mask that I had gotten from Delta (extras left over from our big trip to Denmark and the Baltic Sea Cruise back in 2019) to block out the light, and vaguely wished that Dave had ordered me my Christmas gift, a set of Dormi headphones. I don’t get migraines very often, but my husband gets both migraines and cluster headaches… so he’s well-versed in what to do.Ĭalling in sick to work wasn’t an option, what with remote working and a tight deadline, so he instructed me to take a nap for lunch and that he’d wake me up in an hour. They could do a whole migraine yogi retreat there’s so many of them, and they’re all awesome.Yesterday I woke up with a full-on migraine. There are many migraine yogis around, and plenty of stories of people who have become yoga instructors after their migraine ended their other careers.

Adriene, of Yoga with Adriene, is a fellow migraine warrior… and this free workout is informed by her headache dominated experience. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s lots of good evidence that yoga helps some people with migraine. And no relaxing or meditation required! Perfect for me.

You kept changing positions, so the need to hold balance positions issue was taken away, plus it moved at pace to decent music (Chill Out Sessions kind of thump thump not twinkle meditative music) so I didn’t get bored. I used to do a power yoga class way back when I lived in Canberra which was awesome. Yoga is a lot of changing positions and balance, which I’m not good at, and a whole lot of calm and relax, which is a migraine trigger for me. So aside from my knee and ankle, I could do a pump class with a high level of confidence I wasn’t going to fall over. There’s also Alice in Wonderland syndrome – the loss of depth perception – that makes any class where you’re moving around, dancing or stepping, a bit dangerous. Migraine people often have trouble with balance or dizziness, either on bad days or all the time. One of the main reasons I used to adore Pump is because your feet stay planted but you get a really good workout, and it shapes and strengthens the body. I should say I am aware of migraine specific fitness programs and offerings – my faves being Emily’s movement with migraine. In person classes (at least ones that don’t have some kind of light show) are less triggering. Also: anything on demand or streamed has the screen triggering potential. But the fitness apps seem to come into two categories: yoga/medication (boring and triggering), and High Impact (triggering on multiple fronts). There were a number of other apps I discovered in this whole section I didn’t know existed on my television. But I also get triggered by relaxing… I need to keep the blood pressure and blood sugar constant.Įither way, I get about 15 minutes in to any of the workouts I’ve tried before the nausea kicks in, then I get overwhelmingly must sit down tired, and then a basic unremarkable tension type headache kicks in.
It’s possibly because I find those classes very very boring and thus have time to think about the tunes. I actually find the tinkle tinkle supposedly peaceful meditation type music more annoying than thump thump music of a pump class – but don’t ask me to explain why. I tried some of the other more calming type workouts like body balance and barre, which were ok, but still a little too… something. Les Mills classes, like most classes offered in commercial gyms, has loud thumping music, shouty instructors, and flashing lights. The whining of my dodgy left knee and dodgy right ankle aside, and the problem of being 40 kilos heavier – which obviously requires some exercise – I’m finding the problem is one of fatigue and nausea. Turns out I still do, but this body won’t do it anymore. I used to be a massive, massive fan of BodyPump.

I discovered this after being entreated by way too many ads offering me a month of access to Les Mills On Demand, and that came with instruction on how to install the LGOD app on my TV.

So here’s a thing I learned recently and probably should have known before: my TV has lots of apps besides things to watch.
