Getting out of a pole slump
1) What do I love about pole?
● I love that it gives me confidence to be myself, strength in my body and most of all the friends I’ve made through classes.
● It’s the first sport I’ve ever been able to properly enjoy and stick to in my “adult” life
2) What don’t I do enough of?
● Handspring conditioning
● Crab conditioning
● Stretching!
● Spins
● Actual dancing
3) What do I do too much of?
● Chatting!
● Staying in my comfort zone
4) What am I most proud of from 2015?
● Keeping fit throughout my pregnancy and giving birth without intervention to my beautiful daughter.
● Easing myself back into pole gently - that’s been really hard!
5) What challenge am I going to overcome in 2016?
● Getting back to where I was pre-pregnancy… I can worry about progress once I’m there!
6) What are my 5 strength goals for 2016?
● Regain shoulder mount
● Split grip moves (jack knife, handspring, bow…)
● Hoop - be able to tuck up onto the top bar without using my foot
● Do a proper pull up (Just one! Not too ambitious!)
7) What are my 5 flexibility goals for 2016?
● Get back to stretch class regularly
● That’s about it… Any progress would be a bonus, got to be really careful all the while I’m still breastfeeding!
//Yes, I realise I can’t count for either of these 5 goal questions!
8) What are my tricks goals for 2016?
● Shoulder mount
● Handspring
● Spinny pole tricks
● Crab
I made a list before the Christmas break, but left it at the studio…
9) What am I going to give myself as a reward for achieving these goals?
Good question! Maybe a pole workshop with someone other than my usual teachers…??
10) Who will help me be accountable for these goals?
This, dear reader, is where you come in! I will post my progress which (hopefully) will make me get there…
Sorry for the long post! Well done if you’ve read this far 😉
What are your goals for 2016? Have a go at answering these questions maybe?
