Why does it take me so long to warm up?
on: April 23, 2015, 08:00:56 PM
Why the heck am I always so freaking cold!!!  It takes me like freaking half an hour to warm up on the piano. 

And it's not just piano either!!!  If I'm playing basketball it takes me a whole full court game to warm up.

If I'm skating it takes me like a half an hour before I'm ready to jump down a decent sized stairset

If I'm lifting its like 20 minutes for my legs to warm up

Of course it's better in the summer, but why am I always so damn cold!!!

You're not fat enough. You don't wear (warm) enough clothes. You have poor circulation. Oh, and you live in a place that resembles a freezer.

Poor circulation?  I'm 19 I'm too young to have poor circulation!!!

It's starting to get warmer now so I don't need to wear as much clothes.  Additionally since I'm black I have a lower tolerance for cold weather so I bundle up hella good in the winter anyways.
