Anzia-thank you for checking in! I hope what ever you are dealing with works out ok for you. I too have been slacking on here. I Haven’t worked out for a week until today, haven’t been able to pole and have a showcase to prepare for! Yikes! Check in asuch as you can. 😄

Hamstring survived and so did I! My one on one was very productive! I have core combos I’m going to do written down and I have my entry to the song in rough form. Now I need to work on the ending, figure out a couple spins, and my floor work. 😳
That’s a bummer about you rehearsal aNd the pole being too slippery! Nothing more frustrating than not being able to perform and not because you didn’t want too either. Next time will be a huge success for you!!
The floor at the studio yesterday was sooo sweaty! I didn’t dare move to fast otherwise i’d land on my Ass! I did my piyo class this morning but that was it. I usually pole but decided to take a day to rest. I bought a foam roller today and did that instead….ouch! Enjoy your week!â˜ºï¸ -
I have a gal I’m teaching who is a physical therapist. She gave me a superball to roll my feet on. It’s like a foam roller for your feet! It’s a hurts so good feeling, but it is seeming to help. I get the worst cramps in my toes, feet, and calves. A golf ball works too. You can also roll your foot on a frozen water bottle. 😉

Anzia, my Flex class was great! it ended up being 2 1/2 hour class so even better! I am a bit sore this morning though. As you might remember, I had strained/pulled my hamstring a couple months ago so that is a bit aggravated today but not to the point of no poling. And then we did this shoulder stretch where you get on all fours, put your elbows up on a chair (seat part) and they push and hold. While they do that you are then suppose to tuck your bum in which in turn causes your shoulders to want to raise but cannot because the person is holding them, this is where the stretch happens. The instructor did this one on me and I really feel it in my left shoulder now! All worth it though!
My routine is for a studio. Every few months she does whats called the Darkened Room. Dancers can then sign up to perform ($5 a song). Its open to the public meaning both men and women can come, so you are performing in front of strangers!! This has been a goal of mine for awhile but havent felt I was good enough. I went to the last show to watch and realized its not about your skill level but just getting up there, conquering any fears and enjoying yourself! It was amazing to watch the women during the last show!
Ha! Sorry for the book. I am actually on the computer instead of my phone so I can type a lot faster! I have inversions class in 3 1/2 hours, then my one on one at 6:30. Hopefully I survive all this! Enjoy your day! -
Haha! I feel ya on the accountability..(or lack there of!) I blame it on the holidays! Life is super busy right now for all if us! Happy to hear you had a great class. Now get on that pole at home and practice practice practice!!! (I must heed my own advice!)
I went to the holidays in heels party last night and danced for the first time (successfully) in heels! Fun! Fun! It was a fundraiser for a local woman’s shelter. Tonight I’m going to a 2hr flexibility class. I’m REALLY looking forward to it too! I have seen some of his successes! Then I have my one on one to hopefully work on my own routine that is next month! Yikes! Not even close…just finally committed to a song! Time to go, Have a great weekend! -
Sending you all the strength love and power for you your mom and the rest of the family to get thru this. ((Hugs))

Lol! That’s what I’m afraid of!
I ended up not going to the gym but got a massage instead. I was rear ended last Tuesday (everyone is ok). I’ve gone to the chiropractor and got a referral for a few massages. My upper body was nothing but knots! (I didn’t tell her I think it’s from poling). But the last two days I’ve had a headache. I have also been having really bad lower back pain so hopefully I can work some of this out. 😊 looking forward to the rest of the week though!!! -
Just checking in- I poled Sunday and was able to get (with chair assistance) the twisted grip Ayesha! Or maybe it is a TG handspring? Either way, I’m pretty excited! My body ached horribly the following day. I was suppose to go to trickery (inversions) class but it got cancelled. That was a blessing in disguise. I think I’m hittin the gym tonight. Wed I might have my friend over who I am teaching, Thursday is a Xmas party at one studio, Friday is a 2 hour flexibility workshop, sat is inversions and then a private lesson later that day. I hope by Saturday I’m not too beat up and will be successful at my PL. I Hope everyone has a great week! 😊

I just bought a lil Christmas thing I can wear to do my pole picture! I’m excited!!!

So I havent worked out,stretched, poled, or ate right for a week! Yikes!! I am getting ready to pole now though! I have two workshops this week and may go to class tomorrow. Amongst my busy schedule I will find time to hit the gym! I hope everyone has a successful week at whatever it is you will be doing!

Anzia! It’s awesome to read your excitement from your class!!! *clapping hands!*
I haven’t got to pole for about a week and I’m actually craving it right now. I’m still struggling to find a balance of gym, pole, yoga/flexibility, and family. This week I won’t get to pole til Sunday. We are at my parents house for several days for Thanxgiving. I did bring some workout routines to do though that are pole strengthing exercises that don’t need a pole. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanxgiving!(for those that celebrate it this Thursday) will check in soon. 🙂 -
Anzia. Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

Yes my neighbors pole lessons went well! She was a little more discouraged today than last week, but only because she was having a harder time grasping the concept of some of the spins. I just encourage sure that is normal and it does come together! Now if I can only give myself the same words of encouragement. I tried free styling last night to only get extremely frustrated smacking my head on the ground Bonking on the pole, falling over! Ugh! I i’m really struggling with freestyle dancing right now and it’s discouraging to say the least. Oh and I had it on spinning mode which I don’t know how to dance on. So let’s just make that a double frustration! I have a sexy pole Christmas workshop to go to tonight so hopefully that will pull me out of my funk!
Anzia, your day sounded very exhausting just to read about it! Up early and to bed late sucks -
Anzia! Ha! I feel we have all done that a few times! I am off to the gym tonight. Taking a day off pole. My forearms are very angry with me from Sundays sesh. Having my neighbor over again tomorrow night for her second pole lesson!
-
Anzia, I hope you feel better soon! I hit snooze like 4 times this morning (alarm started at 5 am).
Savy, what are you seeking exactly? A text message, email, Skype? (Downloaded it but have never tried it) and what is your time zone? I am US pacific time so right now it’s 9:15 am. I am willing to help be your support! I have a very busy life so no guarantees but I will most certainly try!
Today is my daughters volleyball banquet so I’m gonna go to the gym and do some cardio after work. Tomorrow I’m going to Krazykosters to det some help on the half handspring into the extended butterfly. I can’t seem to lock it in and I instantly fall into the pole with my extended leg. Ugh.
Savy, let me know!
