I hate heat. I hate it in all of its forms.

I’ve never lasted more than a couple of minutes in a sauna and can’t understand how anyone finds them relaxing.

And the thought of HOT yoga?

Nightmare fuel.

Even before I saw this story from TikTok user @tessmendelson:

Went to a hot yoga class.

Noticed my finger got pretty swollen in the class.

Waited a few hours and tried to get it off with Vaseline.

Soaked my finger in dish soap (google told me to).

Tried the string method.

Went to the hospital.

They tested a new machine that didn’t work.

They had to go manual.

They got if off and I didn’t have to lose a finger.

But I did have to lose the ting.

RIP Oura ring I miss you dearly.

Maybe a different fitness ring is in order?

Or maybe just hit them up.

This would be registering some interesting results.

There are other options though.

Moral of the story: stop trying to be in shape.
