Update of all pole goals

I had been setting goals I was calling "pole goals" (stolen from PoleSkivvies posts).  :-)  I guess most aren't really even pole-related -- more fitness/strength related.  They are reasons I'd like to be in better shape.  "Non-weight/scale related goals" I should call them.  Anyway, it's time for an update.

I don't think I've improved much on any of them.  But I am still working to get stronger and more flexible.  I especially have issues bending backwards so I am focusing on back bends.

Here are pictures from March:

So, not a huge improvement but I'm still working on them. 

The call of the headstand

Like a Siren, she calls to me.  Oh Headstand.  How I long for thee. 

Well, ok, not the headstand, which I can do...but its what I want to do AFTER the headstand (check out Jen in the video I will attach... @1:10).  I want to do a headstand against the pole, wrap my legs around it, do a sit-up and then climb that pole like a silly little monkey.  That's my goal. 

Our classes at Twirly Girls have been going really well!  I feel like Rita and I are improving so much every week.  I'm sure it helps that we can practice at home.  Clearly, I realize I'm still learning, but all that matters is that we are progressing!  Rita puts together amazing videos for us each week to watch our progress and fun photo collages.  We are meeting so many nice people through our class.  I had a rough couple of years, but 2010 is shaping up quite nicely to be a great year and I have Rita, Bel and all of the Twirly Girls to thank for that!  I will keep this one short.  I mostly wanted to tell my girls how much I love them and then show off Rita's latest creations!
