Biggest Achievement of 2022?

My story, and a bid to know yours!

Hello dear reader

Do you want to know my biggest achievement of 2022?

Push your limits

I always wanted to try out different forms of working out. 

I've gotten and given up on a gym membership before. I find lifting weights incredibly dull, and there are very few modifications I can do to make the experience fun.

That's when I decided to take up some form of dancing.

Zumba was the natural first choice, but it also appeared too difficult. I'm not big on jumping or cardio. So I picked arguably the most challenging dance form out there: pole dancing.

I once saw a meme about pole dancers that said, "Never mess with a woman who likes to hang upside down from a pole for fun," and I couldn't agree more.

Pole was tough. It demanded a lot from my mind and body.

But the bruises on my thighs and the sore muscles were testaments to my strength. Mastering a new dance form gave me the confidence boost I didn't know I needed.

I knew that if I could master something as complex as this, I could do just about anything.
