    I started with a 50 but had my hubs build a 38.  I love it.  I have a 45 SS too with I adore for spins when it's on static.  Not real fond of the 50 anymore.

    I'm flying down for this!  I'll have a vendor table this time.  DC Convention was so uplifting and fun.  It really was a great time.  The line up this year looks great and I'm happy to see that some of the workshops are not as expensive this year and some are even FREE!  Yay!

    Just like the polergirl and holly said, less momentum, and stick out a body part.  In addition to that, you have to spend time on your spinner to get used to it.  The more you do it, the less nauseous you'll be and the more comfortable you'll become.  Play with it, get on and get off.  Start off just pulling yourself up and holding on.  You won't be doing 'spins' on it like you do on static.  You'll essentially be holding a series of poses.  Look into those Bobbi DVD's we talked about in chat.  They helped me a ton with spin mode.  ps, did you figure out your burner?

    Hey Kat, I guess if you wanted more info about a training program like NYPD, you'd have to contact them to see.  I don't 'have' to post that mine was approved by ACE & AFAA but I like to because I'm proud of ithttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif.  I am a continuing education provider for ACE and AFAA which means I can offer credits for my course that ACE and AFAA accepts for their certified professionals who are renewing their certifications.  I'm ACE certified as a Group Fitness Instructor and every two years I have to earn 2 CEUs to renew my cert.  So someone who needs to renew can take my course towards their renewal.  Hope that makes sense!

    Also, I don't need a studio to do my training.  I could get by with a few x-poles in a house.  Where do you live?  I have summers off from school, so I can travel for July and August to do trainings.

    @ Mini, I'm not sure on transportation yet.  The people I'm rooming with are going up a day early.  I may hop the train at the Aberdeen station, it's one exit up 95 for me and goes right to nyc.

    Yeah, definitely crawl on the insides/outsides of the knee and not directly on the patella.  I was going to upload a pic from my teacher cert manual, but I can't figure out how to upload pics from my computer.  How do you upload pics now that the site has changed?

    Congrats girl!  I love the vibe out West.  I could see how living out there and having a studio could make a woman feel complete!

    Hi Pink Bubbles!  I was referring to Daily Energy in my original post.  Since then I tried Fluid Power which includes some segments from Daily Energy.  Fluid Power has workouts from several of her DVDs on it and you can select and piece them together using her 'matrix'.  Lot's of variety on Fluid Power!  I don't think you can go wrong with either DVD!
