Morning exercises – check. Pole practice – check. Smug glow of achievement – check.
:p -
Slkysmth, you’ve been BUSY! Enjoy the weekend and good luck to daughter + team 🙂
-
Awwww no. That sucks. Hope next week picks up for you!
This morning I did my exercises (wrists, hamstrings, rotator cuffs, back, shoulders, core) and while working (from home!!) I did my ‘sideways walking with a thera band round my ankles’ lol which is so tiring. -
Well I’ve been a bit rubbish at updating here haven’t I? Class tonight and I got 3 new moves, practised my combo and vowed to be more disciplined about home practice… again. Let’s see how that goes!
-
Update: I am now planning my own combo! Due to the entire group routine being re-worked, three of us each have 30 secs, one after the other, to perform following the joint spins/dancing. It’s not very long but I don’t care about that. I just want to do something simple and well. Mojo returning! I actually want to pole tomorrow which is a feeling I’ve not had for a few weeks now. I’m sitting here planning ideas 😀

Thank you slkysmth 🙂 I’m seeing my instructor in under 3 hours for the rehearsal so I’ll talk with her then. Luckily the show isn’t until 20 Dec!
Wow, that’s fantastic about your daughter and her team! Tell her congratulations! And the event sounds great. It’s so nice going to something and feeling really awesome in your outfit 🙂
Hope your ceiling mount is fixed quickly. What’s PIYO? 🙂 -
I more-or-less do Veena’s 13 min warm up, and I focus particularly on knees, ankles, feet, wrists and fingers at the end. I also stretch my hip flexors and calves lightly as they’re often a bit tight. Then I do the beginner and novice spins/holds from my studio’s guide book to warm up the pole. Then I try to focus on 1-3 newer intermediate moves and practise those with my crash mat out. Then either a few more basic spins or some stretching. I prefer to stretch after running though, when I’m REALLY warm!

Thanks dustbunny 🙂 Hope your friend enjoys the lesson!

I had to skip class because of neighbours letting fireworks off. I didn’t want to leave the dogs alone. And then I didn’t pole at home either, just kept making excuses to put it off until it was too late. I know why. I’m beyond fed up of thinking about that combo. I even had a bad dream about the show earlier this week. It’s stressing me and taking all the fun out of pole. I’m going to talk to my instructor about finding a new (easier) combo for me to do because I want to enjoy pole again and look forward to practising, instead of dreading it and feeling pressurised 🙁
-
Congrats! That’s great 🙂
-
Nice one dustbunny 🙂 Busy day/eve for me so nothing to report, but it’s class again tomorrow.
-
Slkysmth – centrifugal force!! Dustbunny is right, you’ll need to be really strong throughout your core to stay straight to the pole when the force of the spin is pulling you around. Not that I have any real tips, being a static girl so far lol. I think I’ve only ever done three beginner spins on spinny (like a fire lady, that sort of thing). Looking forward to seeing your vid 🙂

Nearly got a side saddle superman on my good side 😀 Sooooo close. Then I noticed a spider lurking on the top plate of the pole and I had to retreat to a safe distance, so I did some sit ups instead. Anyway, pole practice 90% completed!
-
My friend had to cancel yesterday so I poled alone (sniff) and made the OH spot me. More practice tomorrow!
-
I do everything both sides. My ‘good’ side is generally much better but my bad side catches up eventually. I also try to sometimes start with the good side and sometimes with the bad, so it hopefully becomes habit to be able to do either as needed 🙂
