    I found the lymphal drainage technique my massage therapist suggested works at any stage of bruise. As I said the first time I tried it I had bruising for three weeks already. Some of it new and some of it old but just kept getting more in the same area. Very light touch is all that’s required. You can do it any time. 🙂

    My massage therapist suggested lymphal drainage techniques. Running the fingers in “nerve strokes” over the top of the skin from center of bruise outwards like you are drawing rays if a sun.

    *nerve stroke = light touch where fingers barely brush the skin. This trends to tickle. It causes nerve stimulation which allows for pushing off blood cells out of the area.

    I had my entire left inner thigh completely covered in bruise one time for three weeks. Using this technique it was gone in three days.

    I think using the VSP to parallel multiple videos/photos, or have one/few of each displayed together is probably the easiest thing Ive done. Its a very simple program to use, and maximizes view of things you want seen when there is a time limit on video time, such as on Instagram where each video clip is limited to about 15 seconds.

    Thankfully SV doesnt have a required time limit for video postings.

    @WebJunk – No bruising in video editing. LMAO. 😀

    Right now I have Windows Movie Maker. And on the Android I have VidStitch Pro. Only things Ive done with the WMM is change video orientation, add titles, and trim videos. With the VidStitch Pro app ive only parallelled two video screens side by side.

    @lina – good transitions, video stitching, and more.

    I haven’t seen any bad videos/clips. But there is a difference between a simple recording of a practice session and something that people have put together to make into an actual video.

    Right now I simply post a trimmed direct recording of my practice.

    I like watching both.

    Its easy to get discouraged when we see others do things so effortlessness as we work hard to do the same or more basic things. But I found one thing that helps I’d to remember ALL people are on different levels of advancement at different times. And ALL people progress at different rates. This is why it’s important not to get into the habit of comparing our progress and skills to others, but simply look at others as inspiration and motivation.

    *We also need to remember that every person who has learned a thing… Didn’t know it at one time. They had to work to learn it as well. And they are going to continue working to learn more, just as we will. Tis the journey of every person. 🙂

    We get conscience and emotional promptings to guide us intuitively. If you feel you are overworking you probably are.

    Pole sessions in the studio I go to are typically 75-90 minutes. They suggest a day of rest between workouts, like Veena. *Those are my aerobic, stretch/flex, and light pole activity days at home. Lol.

    I don’t really do protein shakes or bars. Im more into some kind of meat afterwords. Haha. *sorry to all the vegetarians. And I try to take a nap prior to going to the studio on days I do. Otherwise I feel exhausted. A granola bar, tuna or pb&j sand which an hour before going to the studio usually help give a little protein boost.

    That’s why location is important to think about. In my state strip club rules say customers can NOT touch the dancers. The dancers have full control of what’s going on in the club for themselves in every aspect. And if they are uncomfortable they have the right to end the dance and walk away. But as I also said, it’s common in the area I worked on for women to be prostituting as well, so all the women there were pulling tricks on the side except for me (at the time I was dancing) because I disagree with the progression, and living far away was a benefit because there is very little exposure to prostitution where I lived.

    The place I used to dance at didn’t have any kind of VIP rooms. The was only the main room, the offset bar, the managers office, the men’s bathroom, and the ladies dressing room/bathroom. So what you made was simply from dancing.

    Though I do know quite a few the girls were hooking on the side, which I disagree with. *it was common in the area of the club… Which was quite a few cities north of where I lived (in which I’m sure it happens but I never heard of it in 35 years).

    Im pretty sure pay has changed since I last danced in a strip joint. I agree that location is a factor. Also how many girls are dancing at one place per shift, and sometimes what girls. You could get over a thousand a night. You could wind up owing the house… Cause you gotta pay a fee every day/night you dance.

    Baby powder will help with sticky hands through absorption of oil and sweat. The powder coated poles work well if you have this issue. At least in my personal experience. But everyone is different. You can also get chalk to have on hand when doing inverts and advanced spins if it is not allowing you to grip enough

    And even if you can’t complete that many by the end…you will still have the ability to continue working on it past the 30 days. Just focus on doing however many you can until you are able to do them all and push beyond.
