Ruby and Keeva Day 12/31
I spent all day writing a finance assignment so today’s activity was a pleasant change of pace.
One of Great Shelford’s best kept secrets is Bodywork Therapy. It is a small studio that offers beginners pole programs and also more advanced sessions for those who know what they are doing.
I have absolutely no core strength so I knew this would be a challenge. Another concern for me was I get very sweaty hands. Gross but true. Not ideal for gripping a pole. Predictably Keeva was much better than me, but we both had a lot of fun.
Luckily our instructor was really encouraging (even when I clearly had no idea what I was doing) and we got to try some very cool moves, including hanging upside down. I used muscles I didn’t know I had and I’m certain I will struggle with stairs tomorrow.
Keeva tried pole about 10 years ago and was looking forward to getting back into it. As she has done pole before Keeva is now this blogs expert on pole dancing. Keeva said “I’m amazed at all the moves you can attempt without experience. Our instructor was great, she broke down the moves so simply …which was helpful when you are trying to work out left from right, and arm from leg all at once to do a move!”
My main take away from the class is I need to start planking. Also, I need to find a way to stop my hands sweating.
*Edit: Also, now I’ve seen the photos it may be time to consider fake tanning my legs.
