#21. Pole Dancing... Round 2

Ok, so let us take a step back in time. Back to when I first visited Xpose fitness. Yes this was the result of that workout:

Bruises, lumps, scars... it was no joke. Let's just say my first time out of the gate, I was a little slow to learn, but I have been eager to try again ever since. (And also been trying to plan around events where I wouldn't need to show my legs... you know.. just in case.)

This time was a whole different experience. First, I didn't kill myself trying to do the moves. They came much more naturally, and I have to say I do not have any bruises... yet. Also, it was much more intense. We did many more spins that were a lot more difficult than what we did the first time, and honestly my arms and butt are killing me right now. Here are a few of the ones we tried...

Pin wheel: Wrap your outside ankle around the pole and spin while bringing your back leg up slightly bent.

Side spin: Take inside leg and wrap around pole under the knee, as you fall into the spin, you bring your leg up straight behind you.

The back hook spin: You walk forward and wrap your inside leg around the pole and then while spinning, bring the other leg up to meet it.

I know you are all soooo disappointed that these aren't pictures of me doing these moves, but trust me, you are better off not seeing that. Although, I thought I was pretty good at the pin wheel and back hook!

All in all, I was sweaty and exhausted at the end of this workout. I couldn't feel my arms, in a good way this time! So I once again highly recommend this class, especially if you took it once and ended up like me. The second time is better!
