Last month I filmed another insert for Expresso in association with Deep Heat that aired this Monday. I love working with the team and this time around I got to do some pole dancing. I really enjoy the adrenaline that comes with live appearances so I kind of wish this was live for the lulz so that South Africa could see me falling on my butt haha but they kindly edited that out. I seriously throw myself around when I do pole fitness, one time in class we were cooling down to slow-tempo music (specifically Madonna's Frozen) and I fell into the mirror with my butt...such grace. So anyway, check out the video and then see what I've been up to in the photos below. It's my favorite way to exercise because it's so fun and rewarding. I can't wait to really get back into it! Would you ever try pole fitness?

You know those cool things you only vaguely think about doing but you never actually do them? Those things in life that you file away on a mental bucket list? It's time to cross something off the list and do it. I recently started going to a pole dancing class with my cousin as part of our "Let's finally do the things we want to do" checklist and I was pleased to discover just how huge the pole dancing world actually is; championships, competitions, levels and qualifications with some intense gymnastic skills. It's not about entertaining some dudes in a stripclub anymore, although if that's your bag then keep on keeping on!
I do love the irreverence of female empowerment via embracing something sexy instead of shunning it. It's really been amazing, half of it is the fun tricks and endorphins but the other half is that sense of fulfilment from doing something that's completely foreign. The bruises are brutal and I've fallen on my ass but sometimes falling on your ass is just the ticket to climbing back up. So go out there today or tomorrow (no next week business) and do that thing you really want to do!
Care to share something that's on your bucket list?
