  Hey hey!

  Posted by Charilee7 on July 5, 2009 at 6:56 pm

  Hi, I’m a 27 year old mom to one and I had twins as a surrogate mom. My body has gone to jello LOL. I took a pole class at a local gym, taught by a former dancer, and while it kicked my butt, she was progressing WAY to fast for me. I’m going to continue to take it, but try to kind of do my own thing and progress at my own level. I am a very heavy girl (like 220 lbs heavy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif ), so I am going to work on progressing slowly, losing weight, and building strength. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

  I’m excited! While patience is not my forte, I look forward to eventually being healthy and looking good while doing it!

  Hey back! Welcome to the group. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif I find pole dancing to be the best cardio and strength training I have ever had. I thought I was hitting all my muscles with my usual workouts but I was dead wrong. Have fun!

  Welcome to the site! first I got to say that it is awesome that you were a surrogate! Kuddos to u! Pole dancing is a phenomenol way to get into shape. I was 240 after the birth of my last child and pole has helped me get back down to 150! There is lots of great information and wonderful supportive people on here!

  Welcome. I too am also getting back into shape after my first child. I am 170 on a 5’4 frame, and although I have only been doing this for 2 weeks now I have already lost 3 pounds and have found that pole fitness finds muscles I never knew I had, and after two weeks my arms look awesome!!! I wish you luck!!!!

  WELCOME! A surrogate of twins https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif…Wonderful, my first midwife had been a surrogate mom once. I have to ton of respect for you! Pole dance is amazing, its fun, and is a great work out. Glad to have you with us. Just grooving with the music and dancing around the pole is a great cardio work out. Nothing wrong with taking it slow. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
