Circus Life

Well I started my aerial acrobats class on Wednesday night and let's just say I it feels like I've been beaten up by Tony Soprano and crew.  I had to cancel my pole class last night, my legs and upper body are feeling serious soreness today.  But, I had the best time and can't wait to go back next week.  The instructor was great, the class size was small and we got to stretch and cool down with the advanced students which is pretty cool.  I climbed to the top of the silks and loved every minute of it.   We did a straddle invert which looks something like this which was taken during my intro:

We stretched (properly) and learned to swing on the trapeze using our hips not our legs.  It's so much harder than it sounds, I have calluses from the one class.  I have to work on my upper body strength and my splits.  She told me to do planks and "hollow body" poses on the days I don't have class.  She also said I will be toned by summer...WOO WOO!! I hope she is right.  I can't wait to learn more and move into the advanced class those students were so awesome (I was totally distracted watching them the entire time)!!

All in all I had a great 2 hours and I am so happy I joined this school.  I will keep this blog updated with my progress and hopefully I can be helpful to anyone slightly interested.  I already converted two more people who joined with me.  Damn i am good, I should market for this school!!!  Buzz marketing??  Hmm...not a bad idea.

Catch ya on the flip side...
