I’ve been trying to do all of them with my daughter… It’s hard to wrangle her to stay in frame sometimes, but it’s made the challenge more fun, and made for some cute pictures. Here’s our day 9.

I’m doing this on instagram! @aerialmama 🙂

Another exercise I’ve done in the past to help with foot strength (learned in physical therapy) is to sit in a chair with a towel on the floor in front of you on a non-carpeted floor. With your heel planted, bunch the towel up just using your toes on your right foot. Once you’ve pulled the towel all the way in toward you, reset the towel and repeat on the left. Your feet will be worn out, but it definitely helps strengthen toe & foot muscles.

I'm currently about 20 weeks, and am still poling! I've still been going to my advanced class and doing tricks, but certain things have gotten more challenging week by week. For now it's: don't do anything to risk a fall (new tricks/times my grip doesn't feel secure), don't do any moves/tricks that put pressure on the belly, and don't do it if it doesn't feel comfortable.
In a few more weeks, I'll be going back to beginner classes, and a beginner choreography class. It will actually be a really great opportunity to freshen up all the spins and floor work I've forgotten since then… 🙂I can't wait to get back to pole and aerial silks after I have my little girl – I plan to take it slow, and work back up from beginner, to intermediate, and back up to advanced where I was before.
During the rest of my pregnancy and as soon as I'm cleared by my doctor after, there are a lot of other great classes at my gym that I'll be taking to keep/build back my strength!
