Spinning around 🌀At least, until the pole decides spinning is overrated 🙄 I still feel more comfortable on static, but I don’t *hate* spinning atm, so that’s something. I’m also super into intermediate tricks these days, so I’ve not been posting much because part of me feels like it’s not *insta-worthy* but you know what? I don’t care if it’s not crazy or new or unique. I’m over trying to impress people I don’t know or prove to myself that I’m worthy by pushing myself to be the strongest and bendiest I can possibly be. Maybe the best version of me is the happiest. Not that there’s anything wrong with all that, nor will I stop trying to improve; I’m just kinda done with the pressure ig brings. I’d rather just pole for the sake of poling.
.
Idk, just some thoughts I’m having. I think it’s important to evaluate your life every now and then, to look deep in your heart and try to understand what it is you truly want.
.
So yeah, anyway. Spinning pole combo.

A little flatline variation because my piriformis felt tight and this was a nice stretch.

A bit late to the #pdlovehug bandwagon but I’m on it now! It wasn’t as awful or scary as I expected it to be and I didn’t die so that’s nice.
Gotta love it when the spinning pole decides it’s time to just… stop. Then go backwards. Thanks, pole.

Training from the other day with @alix_joycex - it’s been so long since I tried this move I forgot I’d done it before 😂 It’s kinda pinchy, but it looks cool.

I definitely meant to make a list of my 2019 goals and a training plan and all that, but I never quite got round to it. I’m sure I’ll work it all out at some point 😂 Of course, box splits are always on the list, so I worked on those in training today, as well as my pancake. I’d really like to get closer to 180! I feel like this is the year 💪🏻 I want a proper spatchcock, swim-throughs, beautiful lines in all my straddle positions and hips that can handle exotic!

Working off the Christmas chonk one bendy trick at a time. Feeling pretty unfit given the past month I’ve hardly trained due to an icky shoulder and a variety of colds, but I’ll get it back.

Training at home today due to a poorly kitty needing his mummy (or rather, his mummy being unable to leave him because she worries too much!) Decided to work on my back bend because it feels so stiff these days 😣 I know it doesn’t necessarily look it, but I feel like it’s been gradually getting worse all year! Gotta up my game in 2019… but why wait for the new year when you can start now? 😉

Had a go at #pdknottyflamingo that I’ve seen going around. I’m not sure how I feel about it… it looked so pretty watching everyone else do it, but I kinda think I look like a doll with its limbs all muddled up 😂😂 And it huuuuurrrrts. My entire arm was sooo red after trying it! So this trick might go in the “got the picture, now to forget about it” pile! But we’ll see, I guess 😅

Revisiting some old favourites 💙 Finally got myself some @dragonflybrand clothing so I took it for a spin yesterday (HAHAHA I’M SO FUNNY)

Fiiiinally back on pole after 2 weeks off - turns out just because your brain is totally ready to get back to hardcore training after a 2 months of comp practice, doesn’t mean your body will feel the same way 🙄😂 Easing into it with a few spins (sound off to avoid music police). Feeling aaaaall the blue today 💙

Tfw you try to be @hankavenselaar but you’re not Hanka so you have to settle for being a crumpled heap of failure instead 😂😂 I feel like this really shouldn’t be that hard! Still, makes for a pretty funny #failfriday montage!

On top of trying to build my strength, I’m really trying to do more on spinning pole. I think spinning pole requires a lot more muscle engagement than static, so I’m hoping my strength will benefit from adding more into my training sessions. I’ve been saying for ages that my Bird of Paradise entry needs work - I want it to be seamless! - so I worked on that for a bit in yesterday’s training session.
