Catching up!

Hey guys, so it's been a while since my last post. I just had my last pole dance class yesterday and have successfully completed level 1! YAAAY

Level 2 starts january 10th and I can't wait! Sadly I can't even remember when I had my last boxing class because there was a public holiday on Monday the 8th of December so class was cancelled and Thursday the 11th I think it was was the last class, it's too bad I can never attend the Thursday classes because of my Russian course...

Anyway I've still been going to the gym and have started trying out new stuff, especially since this nice trainer has been giving me free tips and has been showing me new workouts.

This week I managed to go to the gym on Monday, Tuesday, Yesterday and Hopefully today (boo for the big gap I was just too overloaded with work at work..) Anyway yesterday I basically had a double workout with two hours at the gym and an hour of pole dancing. My feet and the insides of my thighs are bruisedddddddd and in pain, but that's not stopping me with getting to the gym today :) 

Oh in Pole we've started climbing and I've learnt a couple of tricks on the pole, which look soooo awesome ! 

I have to say I am super proud of myself because I managed to do a double under on the jumping rope, which we always have to do in boxing class and which I've never managed before... So what this is, is that you jump up once but the rope goes under your legs twice. I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling, even the super nice trainer wanted me to show him because I boasted about it haha, the thought running through my mind was "shit now that he's watching I won't manage" but I did!!! YAAAAY

Also I managed to do a double spin, normal jumps, double spin, normal jumps... you get the point :)

I'm off on holiday tomorrow, I'm going to the countryside and I hope to go for runs, join a gym if I can find an o-kaaaaay one and I want to go buy a TRX band so I can do some leg and tummy workouts :) I'll also be taking with a jumping rope to keep on practicing! 

I can recommend started to use a jump rope to anyway! You may think it's easy but ohhohohhhh it's not, at least not at the start :P

Here's a pretty good video teaching one how to jump, tbh I don't do those fancy side swings, I stick to the simple running jumping combo, side to side, front back, lunge jumps, right foot only, left foot only, double swing, side straddle and the normal jumping - with this you can see he lifts his weight of each foot by the jump (if that makes sense) I still can't do one by one I only change the weight every two jumps..

Here's another great video

Anyway try it out if you want :) It's a great way to start off your morning :) What helps me is if you hit the rope on the ground it jumps back by itself automatically so all the work you have to do is jump and spin ;)
