A Tiring Thursday
I think Thursday is now my other favorite day of the week in addition to FreeStyle Friday! Even though it is the longest night of my week, I’m definitely digging Thursdays because of my new class routines. I started off the night with some cardio; I made it a little past my goal of 45 minutes. Then ran home with just enough time to shower, empty my memory card, talk my bestie into going to pole class with me and make it to Vertical Fitness Dallas for Stretch and Contortion class. During class we worked on straddles and splits. While my middle split is S-L-O-W-L-Y progressing, I am happy to say that my left split and my over-split on my right side are coming along very well! We did’t get to work on back bends this week but I’m looking forward to hopefully getting that in next week or maybe a little practice on my own. After stretch class I stayed for a bit to record some spins for possible use in a future VFD promo. It’s funny how your mind goes blank when you’re put on the spot. I couldn’t remember half the spins that I know. But I was able to knock out a few good ones, including my all-time favorite: Kandy Kane!
After Stretch class we darted around the corner just in time for Pole After Dark at Zensual. This class is so much fun. I love the atmosphere and how relaxed and laid back the class is. We’re able to go in, get some sensual basics and then just let the music take control and move our bodies. Switching the music up each week – R&B and Rock – is also fun. I enjoy being exposed to new music and seeing how my dance and my body adjust to various songs. Despite being seriously tired, I decided to take another crack at our FreeStyle Friday song after class. It didn’t turn out as well as I would have hoped. I was noticeably tired from the 4 miles of cardio, stretch and contortion class and Pole After Dark class that I had done before recording this. However, I am happy that I was able to incorporate some new elements into this freestyle. Take a look…
