class 8

Hmmm.. can't believe I forgot to post about my class on Thursday! Fixing that now!

In which I achieve a new level of pain in my thighs, and we actually combine the "pole" part with the "dance" part.

Our exercises were still killer, but I did notice I was getting stronger. However, I still can't do more than a couple pushups before I resort to "flailing half pushups" or falling on my face. :( eventually.

We learned to do a backspin today, which I got just fine. And then we practiced our pole sits. Everyone else is still learning to let go with their hands, but since I've been able to do that our instructor showed me how to lean back all the way. It was a success! But when I first started going back and the weight shifted to a different part of my thighs, I skidded a couple of inches down the pole and I legit thought I had ripped my skin off for a moment. I did get it though- went all the way back, put my arms up, and came back up without any help all on my first try! Oh yeah, go me.

And we finally added a pole part to our dance. it's really simple, just a little weight change around the pole, a kick, a butterfly and a backspin. 2 minutes of floor routine and 15 seconds of pole, lol. But it's really fun to do it with the music cause it's like ~actual pole dance~.

Next week we have a different instructor, which I'm excited and apprehensive about. I want Thursday to be here already!

Worked out before my 9:30 class today with my friend and it was great! We did some stretching too. Stretching was hell though, I usually stretch at night so I'm used to being super limber after all day but even after the workout (cardio and abs) I was very stiff compared to normal. Hmmm maybe I'm not as flexy as I thought. But my abs are already sore so that's good!

So I can do this thing with my shoulders. I guess they’re pretty flexible. I wonder if this will ever be an advantage in pole… hmm..
