Thanks guys. Idk I guess hearing it from somebody other than my normal circle makes that much of a difference. My parents (who are very traditional) know I have a pole (its in the dining area) but they don’t make me feel bad or degrade me because of it. I told them it was for fitness (not a lie) and showed them a training maneuver for getting into an invert. (I’m far from it). Even still, it’s not the same as a poler giving you advice. I mean, I don’t think a baseball player would get the same impact from a basketball player unless he/she plays the sport as well. Fortunately, I’m slowly emerging from this slump and I think I shall conquer my treadmill for 30 mins today 🙂 . I appreciate your comments ladies. Although I don’t know you personally, I know you know what I’m going through so to speak and it means a lot. Ok, I’m done with the sappiness lol. Thanks!
