I don’t want to do pirouettes on carpet (I broke my toe doing that last year) so I’ll do them at class tomorrow as well as the shoulder slide for Day 6, and post them both at the same time.

Welcome Neesy 🙂 Good luck with your goals.
I’ve done some light poling today, basic spins mostly.

Hi slkysmth! Thanks for your kind words. Good luck for your routine on 9th! So exciting.
I did a short pole session yesterday, maybe 30 ish mins. Tried a bit of everything and I was happy to find that despite the looooooong break I can now chopper both sides. I’ve lost a hands-free scorpio though so want to get that back. Also there was a lot of thigh burn with fishhook so I need to do that a lot before I try for superman. Teddy is quick and painful (up, aaaaaaagggh, down!) but still there so needs more work. It could all be worse and I’m happy to be back on the pole 🙂 -
Love it AK! You even did a floor body wave… wow!

Ooops, hi Meggie! Didn’t mean to miss you 🙂

Hi rsk269 🙂 I’ve been neglecting this thread again. Mostly because I wasn’t poling and didn’t want to be accountable!
Dear other ladies of this thread: my boyfriend of 15 years walked out mid December, a week before my birthday, to be with someone he’s apparently been seeing on and off for 3 years. Two days before he did that I cracked a rib poling and was in a lot of pain. I had to have a few weeks mostly off and limped through my pole show on 20th Dec doing some really basic spins instead of my planned combo. The rib pain plus the emotional pain has kept me on the sofa eating chocolate for a while. I’m now avoiding ‘proper’ poling because I know how much everything will hurt my skin again. Pathetic, huh? So there’s my ‘lack of accountability’ confession and from now on I’m going to pole every day even if it’s just to do a fireman spin!! Hopefully by the time I’ve changed and done something I’ll feel like keeping going. Obviously a few days will be kept as the equivalent of a fireman spin cos of needing rest days, but I need poling to become a habit again and for me that means daily. The SV challenge has already been helpful for that. -
Happy anniversary! x

Daily, I think, as it gives structure and is easy to follow. Love this idea… roll on 2015 🙂

I’m sorry for not being on this thread more in recent days. I’m going to be absent a while longer due to some personal problems that will take some time to resolve. I didn’t want to just vanish and not say anything!

I’m in. I quit stretching for splits a few months ago when I got sick, and never went back to it. I waa nowhere near front or middle splits anyway – I’ve got very tight muscles too Saeth – but the stretching really helped me do fan legs and floor work more comfortably so I want to start again. And 12 months seems a bit more realistic for me to get my splits than a shorter challenge! I’ll do a before pic after Christmas for the record…

Awesome dustbunny! Well done!

That’s an intense day! Hope your hamstring stays okay and you have a fab time in your classes. Good luck for the routine! Exciting!
I had a private yesterday and was so fed up to find my strength low and pain threshold very low. Grrrrr. Thought I was past all that. But at the show dress rehearsal today I felt strong and quite confident, only to find the poles were super cold and slippy! I slid off the pole four times in total and couldn’t do the entire combo all the way through. Apparently a lot of the others were using grip aid which I’ve never bothered with as I use a fantastic hand anti-perspirant and always warm up my pole so I haven’t ever needed to be more grippy until now. I’ll buy some itac from my studio I guess as the poles might also be cold at the show. I assumed they’d be warm as loads of people went first, but no! -
Enjoy flex class!
What pole routine are you doing? Is it for a studio show or a comp? Good luck 🙂 -
Good class last night, but I notice I’m still not poling at home in between. So much for accountability! I’ve got a private on Sat and a dress rehearsal for the show on Sun, so next week is when I need to do some practice at home.

Ouch 🙁 Take care of yourself. That sounds really uncomfortable. I hope the massages help.
