.GlowNetflix changed the way I saw exercise, and made it possible for me to create better routines for myself
Growing up, I was enamored with the idea of preternatural ability and child prodigies; I assumed if something didn't come naturally to me I wasn't meant to do it. I decided that simply sitting out was less embarrassing than the other option: attempting to do something I wasn't good at. Athletics fell into this list of activities I was too worried about embarrassing myself to partake in.
Slowly I convinced myself that the long-term benefits of exercising outweighed the temporal embarrassments that my self-consciousness created. It was my job to walk dogs, and being on my feet all day backed me into realizing how beneficial exercise really was for mental health, something I'd stubbornly doubted for years since being diagnosed with anxiety. I felt fueled not only by the rush of endorphins but by the feeling of constantly besting myself and feeling more connected to my body.
The Netflix show is set in the '80s and follows a motley crew of women who are in the process of becoming TV wrestlers; it's led by Ruth , an actor who's become jaded by how one-dimensional the roles available for women are and so finds herself at an open call for the wrestling show, GLOW. The majority of the other women who show up for the casting call aren't particularly predisposed to athletics either. Most of them were merely desperate for work.
