Veena you must be the coolest mom at the skate park.

Here we are with my tight shoulders again 😛

[AllysonKendal]

tiggertail, your bow pose looks really good! I struggle with flexibility in general but back stuff is a killer!

[AllysonKendal]

Haha. Thanks!!! I’m not very flexy… But watching @beachyogagirl’s tutorial and explanation has helped (she demonstrates more beginner poses than @kinoyoga). For that one I got my knee over my shoulder and just rested like that a bit until I got comfy enough to grab the leg.. Then pull and smile!

[AllysonKendal]

Hope everything is ok Veena. 🙁

Doing a little stretch this morning. Still in my PJs.

[AllysonKendal]

I agree! Stupid hip flexors! I like poses I can like sink into with my stretch. Lunges involve balance and making sure your knee isn’t over your toe… I just don’t love them. I’m open to hearing any other hip flexor stretches!!!

Oh and because it’s not just my hip flexors… Here is my tight everything else for Day 7

[AllysonKendal]

I dislike my tight hip flexors too dustbunny!

I also dont like most hip flexor stretches to loosen them up. Its like they all involve stupid lunges!!! Pigeon pose feels so nice though.

[AllysonKendal]

Haha. Juicy, you caught me! Fellow Aries here!!!

I know I’m definitely focusing on too much. And for me strength training is a bit boring.

I was just telling someone I think I need a TV in my pole room. I like music but I need more entertainment than just music… especially if I’m working on basics and strength. I think thats why yoga and stretching has been easy to keep up with because I do it on the floor near my TV and computer. 🙂

Day 6!

[AllysonKendal]

its very OK to join in. I was supposed to do day 5 today but didn’t get to it because my son’s birthday party was today and I was just out and about a lot.

Hopefully I’ll continue tomorrow… I have to admit I’ve not been really great about this 30 day thing. I’ve started this like 3 or 4 times now.

I just have a lot of goals happening at the moment… stretching, yoga, pole moved… the strength stuff is taking a back seat :/

Fotogramme*

[AllysonKendal]

Thanks. She is my baby girl! I don’t have a daughter, and she lets me brush her hair so it’ll have to do!

I’m using Fitogramme now. It’s a viewer (so no uploading from it) but you can like and comment from it, and view multiple timelines. It’ll take a little getting used to. The interface can do a collage, 3 columns or 4 columns. I’m not used to viewing them not 1 at a time… So we’ll see how this goes.

I had googled “managing multiple Instagram accounts” a few times… And there are apps that do it, some don’t let you upload from the app… So for that you have to sign in. I’m not sure about following, or liking, or following hashtags. I guess at some point I’ll download one or two and see. I was hoping someone had a recommendation. I guess I can always leave me IG app signed into one, and my webbrowser logged into another…

Anyway. I’m @AKpoles for my pole account.
Anyone feel free to follow, and I’m also @allysonkendal for other stuff (and a little pole when I want to show off to my non-pole friends) 🙂

[AllysonKendal]

Oh hammies… 🙂

[AllysonKendal]

Anyone have an app that manages multiple Instagram accounts well?

I have 1 account @allysonkendal. It’s my personal account and includes some pole, but not a lot. I don’t want to bombard my friends with daily yoga or pole challenges, and I don’t want to overwhelm my pole buddies with pics of my Bloody Mary’s (I love me a good Bloody Mary) or my son.

It’s hard to be logging in and out! My dog has an insta account. @dognamedkona. People think it’s ridiculous but a lot of my friends aren’t dog people…and if they follow me and my husband it would be so much puppy pics. So my husband and I share the account and mostly post puppy pics there so our dog lover friends can see… And our non-animal-lover pals don’t have to.

But I never go on the account and like look at my puppy’s timeline. We go on from time to time but only when we are posting something. Half the point of having a pole IG account is to look at stuff on it and like people’s pics and connect with polers… So that means a lot of logging out if I don’t want to miss stuff on my personal account either.

So any apps people use would be helpful!

I guess I should hashtag this whole post: #firstworldproblems 😛

[AllysonKendal]

Thanks Lucca! I have 3 seconds until the photo snaps and I’m not always ready. Haha.

If thats you struggling then when your on, you must be ON, cause that looks great.

Everyone looks great! This is fun!
