...But in reality, I'm looking more like a hyperactive, baby monkey than a graceful dove! Today I had my first aerials class at the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts. I loved it!!! My dream is to be able to perform with the aerial silks. I learned today, though, that I have NO upper body strength. Holy cow! I knew the class would be tough, but by the time I left, I had that shaky, wobbly feeling that echoed through my entire body.
Did you know that you have muscles you never knew existed? And did you know that it's really easy to hang upside down on a trapeze but that getting back up is a different story? Or that all those movie scenes where the hero is holding onto a random branch for dear life make it look WAY easier than it actually is?
Yeah, I kinda knew that stuff, too. But today I felt it! However, I am happy to announce that I was able to climb the rope, hang from the trapeze, and get more inspiration to do chin-ups than I've ever had in my life! Honestly, the class was the hardest and most exciting work out I've ever had. And I can't wait for next week!
Ha, hopefully, I'll be able to move when I wake up tomorrow :)
