Yesterday I did 3 hours volunteering at a nearby fayre, then ate cakes and drank wine instead of poling. Today is a new start! (The cakes were pretty good though!)

Hope you feel better soon SToast. That sounds awful.
-
Good luck Amani and Slkysmth! I too like idea of written goals (which apparently research has shown makes you 30% more likely to achieve them than if you just think about them) so I’m pinching the idea of a goals poster in my living room where I pole. And a ‘combos to try’ list! And a pole practice journal lol!
Slkysmth, I’d forgotten about spin pole. That’s another one I need to add. -
Wild Lotus, wow! Impressively organised! You’ll make fab progress with that schedule. Keep us updated 🙂
Sierra, that sounds so painful 🙁 Glad it’s better now. It’s soooo frustrating being forced to take time off.
I managed some better inverts in class tonight though they’re still not back where they were.
I’m taking tomorrow off from pole as my upper back has worked hard the last two evenings and I’m feeling it, but I’ll do wrists, hamstrings and abs in the morning and some stretches in the eve. That’s the plan, anyway 😀 -
I’ll follow you on IG 🙂 I’m __Anzia__ but I haven’t posted anything myself yet due to cowardice lol.
SToast – thanks! Not sure anyone else would recognise it as fls yet to be honest but at least it’s a start!
Dustbunny, what a lovely description. Autumn and winter are my favourite times of year 🙂 -
I think I’m getting my mojo back. Good class tonight and for once I’m looking forward to practising some more at home 🙂

Feeling really happy! I did butterfly to flatline scorpio twice on each side!!! Messy and awkward, but at least I’ve got something to improve on now. Also did some stretching.
-
Did a bit of arms/back flex before bed, and then in a burst of enthusiasm I’ve just done wrists and abs before work!

Congratulations to your friend SToast!
My friend postponed our pole jam (she’s got snowboarding injuries) until tomorrow eve, so I’ve done wrist exercises and abs towards getting a handstand, and shoulder mount prep from the floor. Guess I’m still a bit ill cos I feel like a wet noodle too and it was hardly a long workout! Tomorrow – butterfly to flatline scorpio. My friend can spot me! -
Woooooo! Hi everyone 🙂
My friend’s coming over tonight for a pole jam so hopefully I’ll have another progress update later tonight… -
Sounds great SToast! Good luck! I did my session tonight. Warm up, beginner and novice moves from my studio’s ‘moves guide’ and then on to inverts… when I had a nasty shock at how much strength I’ve lost during my time off with the viruses. Talk about weak! So I scaled back and tried to get one good invert on each side instead. By then I felt like a chewed up piece of string, so no freestyling either. Grrrrrr. I hope I get strong again quickly!
Enjoy your session 🙂 -
Happy birthday! Have a fantastic day!

Oh! Okay, my mistake 🙂

I’m a paid-up-and-totally-loving-the-lessons member, and I’ll be keeping on renewing. My only suggestion is to offer a pay monthly membership. I’m fortunate that I can pay a yearly fee in one go (though I was very grateful for the $20 discount – thank you for running offers so regularly). However for some people $99 or even $79 is a steep outlay all in one go. A monthly fee giving (30 days?) access for, say, $9 would perhaps be helpful. This also gives people an affordable but good length ‘trial period’ for their first membership that they can choose to keep renewing or not. Another site I’m on (not a pole site) offers monthly, three monthly, six monthly, yearly and two yearly options. That’s probably more than is needed here, but the number of more-or-less permanent members on there, who are all using a variety of membership periods, shows that smaller but more frequent payments works better for a lot of them.
And this seems a good opportunity to say thank you again to you and Veena for creating and maintaining such a fantastic community and lessons. Thanks so much for the work you put in! -
Sending energy for Scarlett. Thinking of you and your family x
