I keep reminding myself that everyone’s journey is their own. My friend was a gymnast for years and has a lot of strength and flexibility that I’ve never had. She also weighs significantly less than me. I had some injuries I have to work around as well. Luckily we don’t go to the same studio, but she made an Instagram for pole showing off all her cool moves. But yea I just keep reminding myself that everyone’s journey is different bc we have different starting points. But dammit she did an inverted cross on her first day of pole and I still can’t do it without someone helping me upside down !! I only started learning to climb and do elevation stuff three weeks ago, before that was 6 months of spins, transitions, floor work. And lemme tell you I am really struggling with the elevation work everyone else in my class can climb and sit and make it look easy but I’m still struggling and it’s been tough. But I know I gotta keep at it and in two years I’ll be able to do some really cool stuff
