11/21/2017 0 Comments WEEK 10- THE NEEDLE Welcome back bloggers to week 10! I am now in the double digits and it is getting into the final weeks of my goal. These next three weeks I intend to work very hard so I can get my needle. I have been stretching everyday and increasing my flexibility every week to ensure that I can my needle. I have been trying to stretch twice everyday now so I can 100% get my needle but sometimes I fall short. Sometimes it is hard when your relaxing and watching a movie and then you think oh I have to get up and stretch now. It is very hard to get the motivation to do that sometimes even though I know I have to.
I have found that now sometimes when I try and do my needle, my leg begins to cramp and causes me immense pain in right leg. I am still trying to figure out what is causing this because now every time I try to do my needle it causes my leg to cramp up. I have tried to sort of roll the cramp out and make it less tight but that hasn't seemed to work very well. On the internet I looked up hat to do to get rid of cramps and it said it apply a warm compress on the cramp. I also tried this and it relieved some of the pain with he cramp but not all of it. So, if this problem doesn't resolve then I am just going to have to push through and deal with it. I have come across quite a few physical problems when attempting to do my needle. I think part of the problem is I am not doing the right stretches or not doing enough stretches to prepare for my needle. Every week I keep trying to get my leg higher and higher and this seems to be working out for me. Since week five all I had was a needle and on week ten I have something very close to a needle. But this whole project isn't just about working to get my leg higher it is about increasing my flexibility so I can accomplish other things in cheer-leading as well. Most of cheerleading involves you to be very flexible so that you can do your moves and routines in cheer. Being flexible also decreases muscle tightness and helps you with other daily things in life. By week 11 I hope to have my leg almost touching my head. See you bloggers next week!
