tlh, I'm convinced you have a 6-pack and I'd honestly love to see it. It'll be my inspiration! (sorry if I sound like a creeper...Date: 2/18/2009 2:04:14 PM

Ok...POLEDANCING!! It is ridiculously fun...and that's why I do it. Not because I want to be sexier or I think it will help me get fit, it's just SO MUCH FUN! I take my classes at Aradia Fitness. The first time I tried it was a few years ago when I was working at lululemon and we were looking into affiliations. I did the teaser class with 7 other girls and we had a blast. My hands can get clammy so I had a hard time swinging on the pole, and I still have this problem now.
So, I'm in my 3rd session of poledancing. It goes up to Level 12, I think. In level 3 you are supposed to start doing the classes in heels. I forgot about this so when I went to my class last night I didn't have my heels, but this girl, who I did Level 1 with and she drove me bonkers, came with these 5' platform heels with glittery lucite. She then went on to tell us that she bought them specifically for the glitter and that she bought TWO pairs. Not to be judgmental or rude, but REALLY? You paid real money for those?!?!!? Anway, level 3 was awesome. We learned some new pole holds and moves and I can definitely feel the effects of Crossfit on my strength to hold myself on the pole. I'd also LOVE to have a pole in my home but they're really expensive and we have no space. My BF and his friends would also probably be ridiculously annoying with it!
Ok...I still haven't taken my Before pics which I hope to do soon. Here are the last 2 CF workouts I did:
Saturday in the hotel room in Ottawa:
Blackjack - 20 pushups / 1 situp, 19 pushups / 2 situps, 18 pushups / 3 situps.....2 pushups / 19 situps, 1 pushup / 20 situps
followed with a leg blaster - 20 squats, 20 single-leg lunges, 20 jumping lunges, 20 jumping squats, 20 mountain climbers
Monday at CF:
20 turkish getups
7 rounds of:
7 right-arm DB thrusters
7 left-arm DB thrusters
15 pushups
800m sprint
**As an indication of how NOT STRONG I am, the recommended weight for women for the turkish getups and thrusters is 20lbs...I do 10lbs.
Should I post my before pics??? Will that make me more accountable!?!??
Here's a pic of one of the owners of the CF gym I go to. Sorry if it's crazy big. She's done an Ironman, trains 6 days a week, and is ridiculously strong.
