Knee hold! Jealous!!! Well done 😀

Hope you had a fab session Slkysmth 🙂

Run done this morning, brisk dog walk this afternoon and pole session just finished. I didn’t do any of the combo because I’m alone at home – I’ll do that tomorrow when my friend is here to spot me – but BUT BUT… I got a teddy on both sides!!! First time I’ve managed it properly. I usually have to keep my legs bent and use my outer arm to clamp my inner arm. So chuffed! Yesssssss 😀

Thanks Slkysmth and PolerGirl 🙂 I appreciate your support. I’m feeling much more positive today. I already do the eating/water recommendations and they definitely help. I think the main problem is with having had 8 weeks off all exercise with viruses and I still only feel at 90% of my previous fitness. After the 7th or 8th time trying the full combo, much of which is new moves for me, I’m wiped out! I’m going to practice the moves individually at home and then start putting them together. Thanks again ladies x

I felt really dispirited after class last night. Our show isn’t until 20th Dec so I’ve got time to improve, but the combo (for me, right now) is painful and challenging. I will have to aerial invert or there isn’t enough space to finish it off. I managed another aerial invert on my good side but not my bad. My inner/front thighs are literally purple and with massive bruises all down from the switch from inverted thigh hold to inverted hip hold followed by scorpio, then scorpio-gemini-scorpio leg switches. Plus I’m still getting tired. The last few run throughs of the evening, I couldn’t even invert from the ground and had to stand there waiting for the dance bits to join back in. And the other girl who’s doing this combo (just two of us – the others are doing a different one afterwards) has massively overtaken me during the months I was off ill and is doing it smoothly and looking great. I feel like a weak, tired, bruised hippopotamus compared 🙁
And now I’m gonna stop whinging and keep practising until I nail it and it stops hurting. Three essentials in addition to the combo itself: aerial invert has just become top of the list. Hands – I’m trying a new super strength hand anti-perspirant. I don’t need to be more grippy but I do need to stop them getting clammy in the hot room. And general fitness so I can do the whole thing and feel like I could do it again! Trying to be positive here!

Hope you feel better soon, tigerlillies 🙂

I’ve checked Veena’s lessons and tammy is an inverted thigh hold and hercules is an inverted hip hold.

I felt sooooo ill this afternoon I nearly skipped class, but this thread really works cos I didn’t want to post I hadn’t gone… so I drove there and luckily felt better by the time I arrived! Practised butterfly to flatline scorpio and my teacher gave me some helpful tips. Also kept practising invert crucifix – tammy – hercules, but I’m struggling with maintaining the thigh hold from tammy to hercules. One to keep trying!

Run and stretches done. Bring on the class!!

I took yesterday off because my bruising and swelling from the private lesson was (is) too painful to get back on the pole. Class tonight, eeeek. If it involves any knee pit grips, I’ll die. But I did walk round a stately home ruin and its grounds all day with a friend for exercise and I’m going to run this morning and then do stretches. I’m still so chuffed about the aerial invert! I really hope I’ve still got it tonight!
Slkysmth, your dog is so cute 🙂

What did you decide? 🙂

Well done db!
-
I’m in so much pain 🙁 I wish new moves didn’t hurt so badly. I need to watch Veena’s lessons on a few things to pick up some tips. But – a non painful one – I got my first ever aerial invert! I only tried on my good side so I’ll try the other side as well next time. Really pleased 😀

Hope you’re better soon, Slkysmth 🙂 Enjoy class!

Did a run and stretches. Private lesson tomorrow!
