Kicking off week 4 will really be repetition and consistency. Building strength and flexibility takes considerable time, and with that, patience (hmmmm) however that patience and perseverance are the key ingredients to get me through to the objective. You will see a little improvement from Week 1 to the end of Week 3 here! 6 weeks to go! :)

Week 3 you will see what I am unable to do on a pole, with some attempts at beginner moves. This is a great starting point to understand how big the journey is over the remaining 7 weeks. Continuing with strength, conditioning, teaching the brain and body whilst making flexibility a focus, but it is time to understand beginner moves on a pole and the technique behind those moves so I can hold myself in them successfully, gracefully and skillfully.

Week 2 of a 9 week journey to build muscle strength and stamina, with the objective being to effectively complete a fluid sequence of movements on a pole. This week I focus a little on control, flexibility and continuing to build strength and share some progress from the first week.

Limitations only exist if you let them! I am no dancer and certainly have never swung from a pole before however am about to give it a shot! This first video I introduce myself and some of the core exercises I will be practicing over the first week to prepare my body on this 9 week journey. You will clearly see that my body is not the 'stereotypical' pole-physique and I am a regular mum and wife who is dead-set keen to give this challenge a shot. Enjoy Week 1 of my exciting adventure and please note, I am not a pole dancing instructor.... just a regular chick having a crack at something completely out of the ordinary.
