Olen nyt jotenkin noista k\u00e4rkitossuista niin innoissani, ett\u00e4 vaikka m\u00e4 olen vannonut ettei t\u00e4st\u00e4\u00a0koskaan tuu mit\u00e4\u00e4n fitness- eik\u00e4 sporttiblogia niin ihan pakko taas\u00a0teit\u00e4 kiusata balettiasioilla (tullee tapahtumaan my\u00f6s tulevaisuudessa s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisen ep\u00e4s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisesti)<\/strong><\/span>. Muutamia k\u00e4rkitossutreenej\u00e4 on nyt takana ja haavereilta ei ole niiss\u00e4 v\u00e4ltytty. Toisella treenikerralla teimme k\u00e4rjill\u00e4 k\u00e4vely\u00e4 (joka on tosi vaikeaa, tiedoksenne vain)<\/strong><\/span> ja yritt\u00e4ess\u00e4ni pysy\u00e4 makarooninilkoillani pystyss\u00e4 t\u00f6kk\u00e4sin vasemman k\u00e4teni tangonpidikkeeseen sill\u00e4 seurauksella ett\u00e4 yksi kynsi lohkesi tosi pahasti. Instagramiani seuraavat ovat jo n\u00e4hneet lopputuloksen. Sanon vain ett\u00e4 verta ja kyyneli\u00e4, my friends, verta ja kyyneli\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Tossuihin liimaamistani mokkanahan paloista on ollut todella paljon hy\u00f6ty\u00e4. Treenisalissa on aika\u00a0liukas puulattia, mutta en\u00e4\u00e4 eiv\u00e4t tossut luista. Uskallan ihan reippaasti nousta k\u00e4rjille kaikista asennoista (toinen asento erityisesti tuotti ekalla kerralla vaikeuksia)<\/strong><\/span>. Nilkat eiv\u00e4t viel\u00e4 ole kovin taipuisat ja vahvat, eiv\u00e4tk\u00e4 polvet riitt\u00e4v\u00e4n j\u00e4yk\u00e4t, mutta olen sent\u00e4\u00e4n toipunut ensimm\u00e4isen tunnin aiheuttamasta shokista. Ensimm\u00e4inen kerta k\u00e4rjill\u00e4 tuntui aivan hirve\u00e4lt\u00e4 suoraan sanoen. Se on helpottunut siit\u00e4 aika paljon. Eih\u00e4n se edelleenk\u00e4\u00e4n mit\u00e4\u00e4n mukavaa ole kun koko paino on pienell\u00e4 osalla jalkater\u00e4\u00e4, mutta kaikkeen tottuu.<\/p>\n

T\u00e4n\u00e4\u00e4n tein tavallisen balettitunnin j\u00e4lkeen kotona kevyen k\u00e4rkitossutreenin nilkkojen vahvistamiseksi. Eli rullauksia demi-pointen kautta k\u00e4rjille ja echappeita. Kuvasin niit\u00e4 videolle ett\u00e4 voin niiden avulla v\u00e4h\u00e4n tarkkailla my\u00f6hemmin edistymist\u00e4. Hytkyminen ja vaappuminen johtuu siit\u00e4 ett\u00e4 yritin samalla kevyesti venytt\u00e4\u00e4 nilkkaa ett\u00e4 jalkater\u00e4 kaartuisi kauniimmin k\u00e4rjen yli. Polvet vaativat viel\u00e4 treenausta kuten mainitsinkin ja muutenkin koko hommeli on v\u00e4h\u00e4n huteraa, mutta jostain se on alettava. Linkkasin n\u00e4m\u00e4 nyt suoraan Instagramista kun en saanut videoita muuten j\u00e4rkev\u00e4sti toimimaan.
\nMuuten, te jotka ette sill\u00e4 tavalla ole perehtyneet balettiasoihin niin haluaisitteko ett\u00e4 selit\u00e4n perusteellisemmin\u00a0noita termej\u00e4 ja liikkeit\u00e4? Vai onko semmoinen perusteellisuus turhaa?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m so excited about my new pointe shoes, that even though I have promised this won’t turn into fitness nor sports blog, I just have to bother you with ballet stuff (will happen randomly in the future aswell)<\/strong><\/span>. I’ve done now several pointe classes and haven’t avoid accidents. On second time we did walking on pointe (which is really difficult btw)<\/strong> <\/span>and while trying to stay on pointe with my macaroni ankles, I managed to hit my left hand on the barre holder, with a result of one of the nails splitting really badly. My Instagram followers have already seen the aftermath. I just say: blood and tears, my friends, blood and tears.<\/p>\n

The suede tips I glued on my shoes have been really helpful. Our ballet studio has pretty slippery wood floor, but now my shoes are not slippery anymore. Now I have the courage to go on pointe from any position (especially the second position was quite difficult)<\/strong><\/span>. My ankles are not very flexible nor strong yet, neither my knees stiff enough, but atleast I have managed to survive the shock of first lesson. I must be honest, the first time on pointe shoes was horrible. It has become a bit more easier. It’s not comfortable, I tell you that. Whole weight is on very small area of my\u00a0feet, but I get used to it eventually.<\/p>\n

Today after regular ballet class I did some light pointe exercise at home, to strengthen my ankles. It was just rolling on pointe via demi-pointe and some echappes. I took videos so that I can later see if there’s any progress. Wibbly wobbly moves are due to the fact I was trying to also stretch my ankles so they would make lovely arch over the tip of the shoes. My knees still need lot of work as I already mentioned and it’s still quite shaky all over, but one has to start from somewhere. I linked these videos straight from Instagram, because I wasn’t able to get them work otherwise.
\nBTW, those of you who don’t really know much about ballet stuff, would you like me to explain the vocabulary or moves a bit more closely? Or is it just waist of time?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
