    Hi! I bought the book as it only just came out in the UK. It arrived today and I’ve already got through it.
    Its short and clear. It provides a background,an interesting mindset chapter, nutritional advice and recipies. It also provides workouts. I don’t have the dvd’s but I think they are much like them. She also included the body blast series. There are pictures and step by step instructions for each exercise.
    I have some basic ballet music, I’ll have a go using that to work with.
    Can’t wait to get started on it, specially the swan arms routine I’ve read so much hype about 🙂

    Hi! I’m from england and have my pole in the garge too. Mine is an chrome Xpole, roughly 6-7 yrs old, but only in the garage for 2. I’m sorry to say, I have noticed after winter that there is slight bubbling rust. Only very tiny and towards the bottom, so doesn’t really get in my way too much. I have the floor around it carpeted to try and help warmin, because I find it very cold! Also my garge is a double with two big doors and not very well insulated at all! I never thought about wrapping it up. Wish I really wish I had though!

    Hey Lyme!
    The last inch is the hardest bit and very frustrating! It seems to take forever to change so I was advised to start training for oversplits when I was about an inch and a half off. I used a thick rolled up towel at the beginning so it was gentle and then progressed to a yoga block and now use foam rollers. I found that if I did a set like that, when I took the block away I was so much closer to being flat. I kept doing that and eventually after about weeks (3x per wk) i was able to get flat with ease.
    I used to be a distancer runner and had tight hammies. It took me almost a year to get mine squared and flat!
    Just remember to go gently and don’t forget to breath!

    You will get them!!
