Actor's Gym Day 6

Hey y'all

Today at the actors gym we got to experience a bunch of different things, and expanded on things that we have worked on before. We did our regular warm ups like we do before every class. Sylvia our instructor keeps adding some things to push us more and more. I am still working on the things from beforehand, but my natural sense of competition doesn't want to fall behind. It is coming easier though.

After all of our warmups we started working on our cartwheels and such. I think I really did something weird to my hip in open gym last week trying to work on an aerial, or a no handed cartwheel. For some reason some things just start to hurt. But it's manageable, and a couple days off will be good for it. We started working on front handsprings. I used to do these as a kid, and I was impressed with myself that I still had it, and Sylvia was impressed too. That was a little comforting to know I can still do that.

After all of that we split up into our 2 groups. I was with the group that started on Silk Knot again. I am still sore from Silk Knot yesterday. We didn't really do anything different, just a different way of rolling up. This one was harder, and a lot more painful. We also did the painful way of doing a roll down. Painful for guys anyway.

After that we went over and started something I have wanted to learn for a while now. Unicycling. It was hard. Like learning how to ride a bike again. I want to continue to work on unicycling and get better at it. I don't know if I'll invest in a unicycle, but I may consider it.
