Coming on the one-year anniversary of life inside a bell jar, I squinted into my laptop and watched a woman undulate and flick her hair to the dancehall-inflected sounds of Doja Cat. “One, two, three, four; one, two, three, four! Body rooolllll, and booty, booty!” Dressed in chalk-blue pajama shorts and a long-sleeved black bodysuit, my virtual trainer Emily Diers fell somewhere on the spectrum between Doris Day and Jane Fonda. My 43-year-old body, a decade older than hers, was clad in nothing but a T-shirt and cotton underpants. I couldn’t help but take a video of the you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me choreography to send to my best friend. “I’m doing these moves, in my own tragic way,” I wrote in a state of energized disbelief. I pressed send, and then I got back to it.
