Well now that my pole finally came in I think I might have to figure something out for the challenge. Hmm… *creative juices running*

I don’t know if I should put this link here or in the vids/pics dept. Meh… I can’t upload this to SV because it is too big.

I had a pair of clear Ellie shoes and over time the plastic got brittle (best way to describe it). One of the straps broke off so I decided to just cut them off from both shoes and I do not feel as secure in them as I used to. The straps add a good amount of stability.

I haven’t been here long but it already feels like family! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

More like lots and lots of ice water and a cooling shower to wash off me sweat. Hahaha… ewww. The picture Platinum Stages has on their website of a girl pulling her case like it was air is a joke! The box said 10kg but I’d say 10+ haha! I already noticed how grippy it can be once it is warmed up.

OMG I just got my pole today and I noticed my hand doesn’t move from its initial position and my wrist/arm ends up wrapping around the pole. That is soooo bad, no? Looking at my instructional vids it doesn’t seem like other people’s hands/wrists do that. At first I get really sweaty hands and then I get so grippy I can’t move my hands. OY! I am trying to teach myself to release my hand grip a bit but I’d love to hear other thoughts on it.
As far as core goes… pilates, yoga… and you can use your pole too! There are a few clips on ExpertVillage (I watch them in YouTube) and this one instructor shows how to use the pole to strengthen your obliques, back, etc.

People need to think outside the box and I think it scares them. They rather stick to a formula and go with what they know. It will be a positive thing to do what feels right for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Bwahahaha! Fire department… that is a good one!

I love wheat germ and psyllium. Both are a great source of fiber and protein.
I love to jog with the doggies… Bellydance… Yoga & pilates and other strength traingin workouts…
"Let’s get physical!"

From what I understand push-ups help strengthen your wrists as well as wrist dumbell curls (slowly tilt the hand up and down with a weight in it).

So cute! I can’t wait to see more of these. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

That happened to me when I overdid my bellydance shoulder moves. It wasn’t fun… I almost thought it was carpel tunnel. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I just did a lot of soft stretching and asked for lots of massages from the hubby.

*sigh* I haven’t gotten my pole yet but I don’t imagine myself practicing in front of my hubby. Maybe once I get comfortable enough I might give him a show but only if he’s been good. You know, I don’t even like to workout in front/with the hubby. I’m trying to lose weight and when I follow Kathy Smith videos he ALWAYS manages to make a crack at them … saying stuff like, "Yeah girls! Just work it! Tighten those buns! C’mon!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif We don’t like big muscle-y men yelling at us telling us what losers we are to "pump us up". Most gals like positive reenforcement and yeah, some corny motivation. So what do I do? I kick him out and tell him I don’t appreciate his negative attitude when I’m trying to do something positive for myself. He usually gets this stunned look on his face that I’m hurt by his comments. I don’t think men get it. They have to be told point-blank because they are like babies. He usually ends up apologizing but I made up my mind a long time ago to never work-out with him.
