Not always a superstar....

As lovers of all things Pole related, we follow amazing athletes whom we love and admire! Daily we're exposed to photos and videos showing only amazing flexibility and feats of strength on social media feeds. This can be a great inspiration to us, and I personally love sharing my new ideas or achievements with everyone. However, I feel there's often a downside to this constant exposure to what may be PERCEIVED as perfection and constant achievement. We begin to loose sight of our personal journey. Many times we forget how much dedication and hard work has gone into achieving above average flexibility and strength. We start to compare ourselves with others, we begin to feel down about our own journey and progress, we feel like failures. Anyway.... I think we've all had times were we've felt inadequate in the world of pole so I decided to share a REVERSE progress photos! I would like everyone to understand I am not always super flexible or in shape for that matter. I have times in my life that I simply cannot or just don't feel like training constantly. I usually make time to do some sort of exercise and if not I'm usually physically busy with 4 boys to clean up after! If I'm in a rush it's not usually pole and flexibility training I choose, and flexibility training is a luxury for me. It's something I really enjoy and often put off in order to get other things done. That's life! :) So the next time you feel everyone is alway making leaps and bounds while you regress (because you are a normal person with a life) remember this photo! The April photo was taking this morning! Left - April 2014 - NOW Right - October 2013 - THEN
