(Unintentionally long pole dance struggle rant) I think this..
Added 2021-11-18 04:16:35 +0000 UTC(Unintentionally long pole dance struggle rant) I think this is the first purely pole dancing video (sans silks) I’ve ever posted 👀 I used to take pole lessons all the time, but as I started advancing and got to the point where I couldn’t take the classes I wanted until I had a solid invert from the ground, I started to plateau and not attend classes. I’m heavy, and I especially carry my weight around my stomach/butt/thighs. It’s soooo difficult to lift up so much extra weight from my lower half and flip it upside-down. I was honestly getting extremely discouraged and sad and jealous of all the tiny ladies around me who could lift their short, skinny bodies off the ground even without having to train much first. That’s why I started doing Lyra (aerial hoop) because I felt I was able to learn more and do more in those classes. I still want to get better at pole dance, but it’s such a challenge for me. I’m going to have to really stick with an intense training regimen in order to progress due to my weight. It may be a couple more years before I can even invert, and I’ve been at pole/aerial for a year now. The few other heavy women I’ve come across in the pole world said it took them several years to invert, so…whee 😅 ANYWAYS. All that to say, pole and I have such a love/hate relationship, and I’m really trying to stick with it to improve and fall more in love with it again, because it is hella fun to slink around, spin, climb, and do tricks. I feel rusty in pole compared to Lyra, but I wanna get back in my groove. So, please enjoy me doing just that, spending more time on the pole doin’ some tricks n stuff 😁
TLDR: being fat sucks, especially in the world of pole dance, but I don’t want to let it hold me back from achieving my goals.
