    It’s kinda lame lol, but my goal is to stick with it, getting better where I can and having fun! Ive never stuck with any kind of activity before so that’s why it’s my goal. 🙂

    Once I get stronger I’ll definitely try that technique Amelia!
    And thanks Veena, I haven’t tried doing pole sits or climbs very much because I’m having so much fun trying to get the spins, although from what I have tried I havent been able to climb. I can sort of do a pole sit but it feels like my thighs are going to rip off haha
    I just watched the performance climb, and I think I should be able to get that one if I spend some time working on it.

    If you haven’t had any luck yet, I would say that where the light fixture is screwed into the ceiling should be a joist, and typically they are 16 or 24 inches apart. You can use a tape measure starting where the light is to see where 16′ and 24′ would be. From there take a couple thin nails and test to see if you’re nailing into wood or drywall. If you dont mind a couple small holes 🙂 saves me from a stud finder although I’ll have to invest in one sooner or later for convenience!

    Thanks Veena!
    I’m really having so much fun with it and I can safely say I have never enjoyed movement as much as this!
    I’m going to make sure I stay committed for a month or two, gain a bit of strength and then I’m going to subscribe here to get more access to videos. Very thankful I found this site!

    Thanks Jihaleh!
    I’ve been quite consistent and I have noticed improvement from when I started, most importantly I’m feeling stronger! I’m still no where near lifting myself, and I have not attempted to climb (I feel like that would be impossible lol)
    I’m working hard so I’m hoping I keep seeing improvements over the next few weeks.
    It would be sooo much easier to go to a class but I’m over here trying to learn from these videos hoping I’m doing it all right! Xo

    Thanks ladies for the input!:)
    I am very determined and eager to learn and I think the 30 day challenge will be the perfect start. I wish I had a studio near me but unfortunately I live in a smallish town and the closest one is an hour and a half away. I have a fairly busy lifestyle but if I can get even an hour in every other day I would be happy. Hopefully within the first month I’ll see positive improvement to keep me encouraged and motivated to keep going.
