Thank you dustbunny! My Chiro said i strained/pulled it where the hamstring muscle connects to the bone. It’s in the most awkward spot! O_o
I look like I’m icing my…well…you can figure it out! Yikes it’s cold!

Hi everyone! So Just a brief update. Thursday I did a split stretching DVD and over did it and aggravated something. I’m ok, just can’t stretch that Hammie right now. I did shoulders and abs on Saturday and Piyo on Sunday (love that class!) I got my new spinning pole up! (My hubby is awesome!) too bad I’m too sore to do anything on it. 😕 I’m gonna try to go to class tomorrow and work on some inversions. Happy poling!

So I have been following this thread since the beginning with the thought that I would chime in with my goals when I have them together….well, as you can see, I am just now jumping in. I am really impressed with everyone’s personal goals! Inspiring!
My struggle(s) I have are not enough time in the day! I work fulltime, have kids in sports, dinners to prepare (because my family can’t seem to prepare meals…Grrr), house chores, grocery shopping, dog to walk, and on and on and on! I use to go to the gym 5-6 days a week after work but when I do that, i don’t have any time to pole. I am trying to figure out a weekly routine that I can incorporate that will have a better balance of pole, gym time, and family. I am struggling with finding my freestyle dance at home so I find myself doing the technical part of pole a lot. This is all fine and dandy but what good is the technical stuff if I don’t know how to pull it into a dance?
I love what I read about posting note cards. I seem to forget what I want to keep practicing until after the fact.
I am going to perform at a local studio in January and want to have my routine down and my combos solid. So that is one goal.
My others: to work on my splits, to be able to go into a particular hold. (Don’t know the name of it right now but u can do the Ayesha from it and well lots of stuff), find my freestyle, oh! And I just got a spinning pole so to be able to dance on spin mode!
I am open to suggestions to reign in my sporadic poling, gym, life cuz I am all over the board right now!
So yesterday I played around with my daughter and her friend on the pole and today I did the splits workout by Alethea. Don’t think I will have time to so anything tomorrow but will let u know!

Missym357-thank you’ I feel that may be part of my issue to is the space doesn’t have the “vibe”. I am going to get some lights and candles and see if that helps. 🙂 I folded all my laundry so I don’t have that staring at me now (now I just need to stay on top of it…eek).

Stiletto Joe-I would love to skype! I don’t have a skype account so I will get one set up and let you know. I am going to Divine tomorrow and I think gymnastics with CrazyKosters Tuesday. 😊

I really appreciate everyone’s comments and suggestions. 😃❤️

[Slkysmth]

My pole lives in our bedroom. I have a whole room downstairs but my hubby wouldn’t let me put it there. Now I’m glad cuz in the bedroom the ceilings are higher so I get three really good climbs before I reach the top plus I can turn up the music and not bother anyone! (Unless it’s a school night then I gotta keep it to a low roar) I will eventually have my own pole room in a few years as my daughter will be moving out then. 😕

Way to go Heidy!!!!
