great story, robin b.
i started pole dancing after years off from weight lifting. My parents have(at one time or another)both been competition body builders and after years of pumping iron exclusively then giving it up and having two kids, i found that my 27 year old body was slowly “fluffing up” and i knew i needed to get back in the Gym but not wanting to go back to pumping iron i started looking into aerial silks, after doing silks once i was hooked and silks transition into pole and i never looked back. It was so great to be able to use my strength and challenge myself with flex training because it was such a forigen concept to me coming from an iron background. Now I’m doing things that 300lb bodybuilders i know can’t do and getting respect and i finally feel sexy which is more priceless than i can even describe, coming from a girl who used just be the girl who could lift more than the boys..

i detest the car layback..but i love one leg inverted crux which to me looks like an upside version of car or maybe that just me lifting my pelvis higher than normal cause it makes me feel like a bird… I also don’t care for teddy much but yogini is one of my favorite moves..not that i don’t like the way any of these look they just aren’t fun for me to do…yet.
