    Today I worked on a half handspring to butterfly (fail) and then worked on a different move into butterfly. I don’t know what it’s called but saw it on SV in the Advanced moves section. I want to post a video but it’s sideways and I can’t seem to change it around cuz that’s how it was sent to me. Nothing for me tomorrow except some cardio. Tuesday I’m gonna go to Krazykosters house and work more on that damn handspring!

    I too have failed at keeping all updated.
    So Tuesday I taught my stepsons mom a few basic things on the pole and then did a freestyle dance myself and it felt good! I haven’t had that feeling in awhile. Wednesday I went to the gym and did chest and tri’s, them went home and taught my neighbor some basic pole stuff. (She is a natural!) Thursday I did legs and cardio at the gym then went home and took my dog for a brisk (cold) short walk. My friend is now going to come over every wed for lessons! She works as a Physical Therapist so we are gonna work out some trade in massages. (Ohhh yaaaa)
    Now my family is off on a 2 hour drive to go support my daughter/team at State for volleyball. This takes me away from any physical activity for Friday and possibly Saturday but Sunday is my PIYO class and then a pole play date with Heidy who got me into pole to begin with!!!
    Wow sorry for the book. Yikes! Have a great weekend to all!!

    Anzia! That takes a strong person to say “this is more than I can handle right now”! I give you mad props!!! Were you able to come up with something different?

    I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Super busy and well frankly nothing to post. My husband noticed My vaulted ceiling mount had a slight malfunction earlier this week so it is off limits til it can be fixed. 😔 *sad sad face. (Tomorrow it should be fixed).
    My daughter and her volleyball team won Districts so now they are off to state so that has occupied my tue and thur. My work had a formal function to attend so I literally spend two days after work to find that perfect dress ( last minute I found The One!) and then yesterday was the event and took it to an after hours party till 330am! Eeks. Needless to say I didn’t make it to the gym this morning either but going tonight! I did have a night of handstand, forearm stands, and various yoga poses but that has been it’. Going to the gym tomorrow in the morning to do PIYO and then straight to pole class! (Happy dance!)

    Dustbunny! I appreciate that. Engage core. Got it!
    I did dance (and recorded) tonight. Not a great recording as i had to use my tablet which is so close still when zoomed out. I’m gonna attempt to edit the ending if when I was done (never done that before either) and post. It’s mostly legs but it’s a recording nonetheless.

    I had to look up the side saddle superman….that is pretty!! I must try this!

    I’m feeling frustrated as all hell right now…..spinning pole is not easy. Period.
    I’m trying to do that simple (ha!) move where you just grab on to the pole engage your shoulders and spin (either pencil style or legs spread) and my body wants to twist/wrap around the pole. WHY CANT I STAY PUT???
    I envision myself on the pole feeling so graceful, elegant, and strong but when I get home and touch the pole it quickly fades. I’m feeling frustrated right now. I want to dance but I put soo much pressure on myself I freeze, fumble, aNd in my head, fail. Suggestions, advice, hell, words of encouragement are greatly welcome! Lol. Back to try this again.

    Anzia! I had a great session! Thank you for asking! I was able to help Heidy get into superman and she taught me some great hip opening and center split stretches! I was a or to do the knee hold twice yesterday! And then later my daughter and her friend poled with me. (That’s always entertaining more than anything!!) I’m sore today but ony way to PIYO class so hopefully I will work some of these aches out.

    Nice job Anzia! I haven’t tried the teddy bear on my bad side yet. I did a HIIT Training class on the treadmill this morning for 45 minutes, and later today Heidy is coming over for a pole session! I think I’m gonna have my husband spot me on some things too today so I can build strength to some day do a handspring. 😊

    Anzia-I have had those days! (Almost every day I practice alone). Don’t give up! You have a goal and a great goal at that!
    If I may make a suggestion, I don’t know how you eat but if u feed your body the day before complex carbs (brown rice, quinoa, oat bran, Etc) and make sure ur protein is up (on average is 1gram per lb of body weight) and then obviously lots of water intake this may help you to sustain the energy you need for class an practice. 🙂 I notice a huge difference when I have eaten good and clean! (I am a junk food junkie. Thats my biggest weakness!)
    You got this girl!! Keep fighting!

    Yesterday I went to do yoga and there was no class so I did sprints, Bi’s and Tri’s, then did a fun yet challenging class that works you core like no other! I did some stretching and my bad side for splits has become my good side now since that pulled/strained hammie. I dislike this set back but it is what it is.. Happy Halloween!!

    I decided to just do a floor work DVD but did one too many shoulder rolls and got a kink in my neck within a couple hours of practicing! Wth?! I seriously feel like a really old lady right now! I cannot believe the aches and pains and easy injuries I’m getting when I used to not! Tonight I am resting 100%. If I do anything at all tonight it’s gonna be to take my dog for a walk! Thank you for checking up on me!!! Love love love it!

    Well done to both of you!!
    I am unsure if I want to go for a jog, gym time, pole or a combo of two?! 😊
