So I was sitting on the floor talking to my son like I do every single day. When I got up I had a shooting pain from my hip up my back. I must have pinched a nerve or something because it is not pleasant. Just walking hurts. Every time I put weight on that leg. I’ve got an appt with my massage therapist this evening so we’ll see if she can help. If not it’s off to the Chiro for me.
I’ve written my goals on my mirrors in front of my pole. Since my pole is in my bedroom I see my goals every time I go in there. I’m a visual person so this is a HUGE help to me especially when I don’t want to workout. I’m also going to hang up a picture of a move I want to get to help motivate me. Thank you pinterest for having multiple pictures of every pole trick out there!

Didn’t get my workout in today. Had unexpected company. However, I plan on a nice stretch session right before bed. Congrats Anzia on your butterfly-FLscorpio. The FL scorpio is still eluding me.

I have a pair of Mika shorts and they are by far the most comfortable pair I own. I am ordering at least two more and a couple of their tops. This is the brand that most of the girls at the studio I went to wore. One of the girls does yoga and turned us onto this brand. Now Mika caters to the pole community as well as the yoga community. Here is a link to the pair I have but I’ve heard great things about all of their shorts.

Missed my workout yesterday due to my best friend having her first baby after 7 years of miscarriages and infertility. Beautiful baby girl is here safe!
To make up for my missed day I just restarted sv 30 day kick off. Day one complete and I’m a little embarrassed to say I feel like a wet noodle. Here’s to everyone staying on track and getting stronger!

I just started a thread yesterday on how I’m struggling to workout at home after several months off and a significant loss of strength. Count me in on this thread!
Long term goals:
1. Splits (any!)
2. Shoulder MountShort Term goal:
1. Cleaning up the tricks I already know
2. Start over on SV 30 day Kick Off (and complete all 30 days this time!)I got to thinking about when I can pole during the day with some consistency. My son has Preschool on Tues and Thurs in the mornings. He’s gone for 2.5 hours so I plan on coming right home after taking him to school and getting a pole session in before I do anything else. It will be hard not to start cleaning first but I’ll have to force myself.
I need to come up with a couple of other days/times that will work but for now I’ll say Tues and Thurs for sure. Hubby’s schedule rotates so my other pole days may have to rotate as well.
I am going to try to get a session in tonight after Hubby gets home.

Not a morning person either. I usually get up when my 4 yo son gets up about 7:30. Then it’s all about getting him breakfast and going for the day. I’d have to get up at like 6:00 to get a workout in before he gets up. Which would be doable if I could just force my butt into bed as soon as he goes to bed at 9:00. Trouble is that is when I get the house cleaned up and whatnot.
I saw that there was a “30 day take off” thread going. I haven’t been around on SV as much lately due to my business…blah…blah.
As much as I hate morning, I think that is the only way I’d be able to gain some consistency. Once the family is up the day very rarely goes as planned…

I live in a very dry climate. So dry that I use lotion every day and don’t have any problems slipping on the pole. We get summer temps up to 95F and winter temps down to -15F. I have a TG Xpole and I love it. I go to a studio that has chrome and I don’t stick nearly as well there. I always come home and practice the new moves we are given in class and can achieve them quicker on my TG pole. That being said, I don’t sick so bad that it removes skin when I’m trying to spin or slide. I’ve never tried brass but just thought I’d give you my experience with TG. I’ve heard great things about PC poles as well, but again, I’ve never tried them.

Can’t believe I found SV a year ago! Last years Costume Challenge was the first one I’d seen and I loved watching all the videos. Maybe I’ll participate this year….
Love the Pretty Woman costume. A favorite movie of mine. I am impressed the costume fits you 18 years later. Props to you!

My Mother is always amazed by anything that is “hands free” even a simple pole sit or crusifix. She says it defies gravity to just stick to that skinny pole.

For those that like country music, “Ready, Set, Roll” by Chase Rice is a great song for an upbeat pole. It’s just a feel good song that makes you smile no matter how bad your day was.

We were just starting “Flowmotion” warmups at the studio I was attending when I switched over to SV lessons. So excited to see this. As always, your lessons are amazing!

Ha ha. Okay, mine, according to the pet/street thing, would be Dusty Canyon. Not good.

Started from scratch 6 months ago. Forearm stand was a no go. Pull ups were zero. More i have muscle I’ve never seen before. My arms and legs are amazing to me. My core is stronger too. However, my flexibility is still non existent. I’m working on it but it’s slow going. You’ll be amazed How quickly your body will change.

i Heart Radio app streams stations from all over. You can prob find a station to suit your needs. They will have some adds more and then but you can jump stations. Just a thought if you are worried about Pandora fining you.

The studio i started at had 50s so that is what i got. I’m really comfortable on it. I’ve tried smaller but i get hand cramps. To each their own. I know several people have two or more poles in different sizes and finishes. I’ve got an xpole TG and am planning on getting a SV pole soon 😉
