So I went to my silk class last night. It didn't feel like a hard workout in so much as I didn't sweat alot. My arms are kind of sore today, but that's it. It was really technique that got me. I couldn't do the simple climbs, which REALLY upset me. For someone who is use to picking up most basic skills within half an hour, that was frustrating. Once we got to the parts where the instructor had tied a knot into the silks, that was ok, but I still felt really angry that I couldn't climb the silks. I came away feeling pretty disheartened even though I managed to do this pose:
Which looks pretty cool now I look at it. But I couldn't let go of the fact that I couldn't climb. THat's just me. I can't look at where I've done well, it's all about the failures. My friends asked if I was interested in going again, as they were going to go, and I nearly said no. But I've decided to try again, just to see if I can get up the silks. I think I need to do more strength training on my arms though, as I think that was my problem. Just being weak in general lol!
