Adult Level 2 Trapeze Class

My class today was awesome. I was able to build on what I learned in my private lesson to improve even more. The 2nd instructor gave me some really good ideas regarding my entrance. Rather than being timid and hesitant, I will be powerful and watchful. He showed me an awesome pose that was sort of martial arts like that really fits in with my Aikido roll. So, there's progress there. He and my regular instructor both gave me some good tips regarding my arm extensions in some of my tricks.

So, during class, I ran through my routine 3 times in total. I also worked several tricks in between, and I even did conditioning - as well as LOTS of stretching at the start and end of practice. I had an advantage over the other people because I know what I have to practice now, so it makes me really able to focus. I was really worn out by the end of the class, which was when my instructor asked me if I wanted to go through my routine again (this made the 3rd time). I said sure. I definitely wasn't going to turn down the opportunity. I did everything except I left off the zip drop at the end. I was worn out! It was a good practice.

My poor body, though. Two trapeze classes in one week makes for lots of bruises. My hands are torn up, and I have some massive bruises now. I think next week I'll wear long sleeves to protect my arms from the iron cross.

That's it for now!
