Hello everyone,
Where to begin…? Well, I’ve been pretty active all my life. I started out with gymnastics and was a competitive cheerleader until I graduated from high school. Once, I got to college, I decided I wanted to try something different, and a few years later I was buying an x-pole and trying to teach myself how to invert from Youtube videos. Luckily, I found a pole fitness gym that has helped with my progress and has also introduced me to Lyra. Unfortunately, I had to take a year off due to work, so, I’m back to square one with my strength and flexibility.
Starting off my 100 day challenge I stretched with my Fit and Bendy DVD by Kristina Nekyia. Whew, I have a looonngg way to go.
Right Split
Left Split
middle split
Backbend
Hopefully I can rig a better set up for a wider shot before my week 1 progress photos, but it’s nice to have community to share my progress with. Happy stretching!!
Way to go, you are already in pretty good shape, flexibility wise! I feel like all the former gymnasts pick up where they left off real quick.
If you haven’t already check out Vivi’s progress for inspiration. If you continue doing the fit and bendy dvd or the routine here, I have no doubt in 100 days you could reach full splits and a full backbend or at least you’ll be super close!
It’s awesome how so many of us here are pole dancers! Pole dancers unite 😉
