done something stupid
I by that i mean REALLY STUPID! I decided to share it with you because i don’t want it happen to other beginner.
Last night i decide to pole a little bit just for fun and at some point to improvise some moves. So i went in invert and start to do stuff( don’t really know what) it went well for the first 2 moves than I just went flat on my face https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif . It took me almost a minute to get up and go put an icepack on it because it hurt really bad. I think I had left my brain somewhere because there we’re a bunch of warning sign and i just did it anyway. For a beginner it’s always a trill to think of something new and we wish we could be as good as the more advance.
So here a few tips to respect at all time.
-Don’t try to go faster than you should, there’s a reason you’re a beginner…you just begin.
-When trying a new move make sure you know how it’s done and pratice safely (like invert = handstand)
-Keep cushion, pillow, anything under you to help the landing if a fall happen.
-And the most important thing I’ve learn (yes I’ve been told before) In all time, keep in mind a way to fall safely because it will happen at some point and it can happen with a move you’re confortable with.This morning the side of my left eye is a little sensitive but lucky for me no black eye https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_blackeye.gif , would be cute to my cousin wedding in a few days. My ego have a bigger bruise https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif and it’s hard for me to share this with you but I really care about you guys and don’t want you to be as STUPID as have been. And I swear I will respect the warning sign from now on.

Remember safety first, you won’t be able to pole if you hurt yourself -

Ouch! and Scary! Hope your feeling better today. (((searching for a band-aid smiley)))
This is my biggest fear – falling during inverts. The fact that most of them put you in a position to fall straight down on your head is absolutely terrifying. We don’t have health insurance, so on top of the fact that it would just plain suck, it could also be expensive. Thanks for sharing – I’m putting looking for some baby mattresses at garage sales at the top of my list for this Thursday.
Note to self: stop watching pole accident videos on youtube https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif

Poor tiggertail! Feel better soon! I hate the thought of falling! I figure I’m going to go out and grab a large stack of lawn furniture pads/cushions for crash mats https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif and just take things slowly. I’m a massage therapist, and if I fall and hurt myself, I’m in serious trouble!
