Conditioning this morning in an online fitness class for pregnant ladies I gave. Usually I do courses outside but…corona has closed everything.
Then after lunch pole. I feel like I’m getting worse on my stamina for freestyles. Last week I felt like I was doing so well, 3-4 minute freestyles with an aerial invert and spinning, and pretty climbs, the last few sessions seem to have been not so good. Luckily husband is home at the weekend so he can look after the children and I can finally pole on my own.
My plan for the next few sessions is to work on new transitions, plan some choreos. I end up doing the same moves over and over, same transitions. So time to look through the lessons and plan my sessions and set some targets.

We’re in lock down/quarantine for the forseeable future and despite all the madness going on in the world I’m finding it so relaxing. It’s a great time for me to “recharge my batteries.” I’ve been stretching my entire body a little every night, going on runs on my elliptical, and I’m pleasantly surprised that pole moves that are usually painful are no problem now. I’ve done a bit of allegra and jallegra practice this week – trying to get both flat! I’ve done a lot of spin pole and with all of this extra time I’m looking to plan a few choreos and work on my dancing skills.

Today was a rest day,but poled yesterday and it went quite well. I did a couple of freestyles on static, which I haven’t done for years! Tried out Dragon’s tail, the legs aren’t pretty but I can get into the move, so I’m pleased with that.
I realised today that I trained everyday this week except Monday. It’s strange training with small children, you think you have to exploit every free moment because you never know when you’ll get another chance. -
Managed a workout yesterday, nothing today. We’ve been in “shelter in home” for a week now. I don’t get as much done when everyone is home with me. lol

Today i relaxed, tomorrow im going to do day 5 of the invert program, I might start it over and be more consistent with it, Im trying to be consistent especially with the kids being home, yesterday i did do some conditioning exercises.

Hi! I’m back. I took a few week hiatus. Besides quarantine, I had some pretty jarring life events, a break off keto diet for my birthday, which made me feel super bloated and lethargic, and a lower body infection that gave me all sorts of pain from my hips to my heels. I’m almost all better now. I’m back on diet, my digestion is all set straight again, and the pain is just about gone. Today I’m going to get 5k steps, (I’ve been averaging 2k, down from a daily 10k because walking hurt), going to do an upper body workout, and do some hip stretches because my flexors are so stiff now. I’d like to restart the 30 Day Flexy program, again, but we’ll see. I want to check out the free lessons because when they were released, I took one look, said “ow” and had to sadly put it aside. Now, not the case! It feels good to be back!

Glad your back Karen!
I finally did a workout today, short and sweet. I really haven’t been in the mood to exercise. Then I did a quick video to answer a question about Gemini to Crucifix and posted to IG.
I’ve been occupying myself with video creating, organizing and uploading new lessons and learning photoshop. I made a silly video about Pole Dance and the Corona virus if any of you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-35Xe_14-A&t=17s

My shoulder been sore for a few days so i been relaxing, Today i did floor work, Push grip practice for the first time standing up, and elbow stand practice.

Pole training today. My two year old was asleep for most of it, so I could wear heels without someone else wanting to wear heels too- yay! Freestyles went well actually. My Jade is looking quite good atm actually and I’m improving on spins, so pleased.
-
I did another workout today!!!! Very happy about that.
Amelia2000 I thought your freestyle video was lovey. You move so easily from move to move.

Thanks Veena 🙂
So we’re moving house soon and we spent the weekend sorting it, the garden, renovating the wardrobe. It was FANTASTIC weather on Saturday so we’d taken my A frame and lyra….but the top bar had twisted round inside and we hadn’t got our pliers…so no lyra on saturday. Sunday it was raining so although we’d taken pliers it was bad weather and I hate doing lyra with a low (2.68m) ceiling. BUT we’d taken my Xpert so on Sunday I wanted to put that up. Turned out my husband had packed the top pole of my xstage in with the xpert and so we didn’t have enough extensions… Then yesterday we were sorting the house too but it was FREEZING so didn’t try putting up the A frame and even started to snow (didn’t stick though).
But husband was working today so was home today so got to pole again, yay! Worked on getting up off the floor and tried a floor invert from kneeling which was interesting. When I’m strong enough again for a Gemini climb that will be good.
My 2 year old has also progressed from pole walks to spins. She also puts on a bikini top to pole as well now XD

Oh it’s always so crazy to move and then hope you have what you want to set up a pole or whatever!
I miss having my little guys wanna do pole with me (sometimes) Now I have them hold the camera from time to time or assist with a cameo like in my last silly video. CJ and I had fun with that.

The past few days i been doing conditioning for pole and practicing some of the new lessons on here, I have done a few exercises when jeni janover does her live stream on IG. I am going to be paying for the lessons on here in a few days.
-
Pole session between packing for the move today. Did conditioning on the pole, lots of fan kicks, pole pull ups on and off pole, practised some left handed spins.
@Veena, I will probably miss her poling with me when she’s older and too cool for her mum but at the moment it can be frustrating (particularly as she ignores the pole until I want to train) as she can be quite bossy XD

I’ve started Veena’s Caterpillar 30 days series. My Caterpillar sucks. This should help it.
