Hope is awesome! I'm up in the Ogden area (instruct 1 day a week at French Kiss Fitness – formally called Blue). Maybe one day I'll make it up to SL to jam w/ y'all… 🙂

By "stick" do you mean permanent? If so, Platnium Stages and X-Pole sell tension poles that do not require permanent installation. I have an X-Pole and LOVE love it.
Stay away from the cheapie poles sold in sex shops or eBay. They're not safe at all.

If you like to read, the book Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is an EXCELLENT read. If you want a good plan to follow, this one is a good place to start. 🙂 http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html

I have the app and really like it. The positive is that you don't have to be connected to the internet to watch the vids — the vids are downloaded and stored in your device — so there is no download delay. The negative is there is no audio or explanation. Veenas vids are great cuz she shows you how to do the move and explains it. Both are good for different reasons, imo. Hope that helps. 🙂

PFA has really cool flashcards and seem to be trying to lead the standardization cause. They also have a free dictionary you can download. 🙂

Since they are going to order *another* one as a favor to you (eye roll), tell them never mind and just cancel the order. Order from houseofpole.net instead or directly from Xpole…

Yup, I had a fall just a few weeks back but it wasn't bad — other than my injured pride, LOL. I was tired to begin with and went to boot camp and then followed that with poling. Yeah, not smart. I was doing a Bird's Nest and when I went to exit fromt he move, I let go with my legs before I had regrabbed the pole with my heads. Just wasn't thinking due to fatigue. The most embarrassing part was I was showing a class how to do the move since the instructor couldn't do it due to a wrist injury. Oy vey.

I started poling very out of shape (hadn't been to the gym or done any sort of workout for 3 years when I started) and I did not weight train when I started. Just kept poling and fighting for moves and eventually the strength came by poling. I still don't weight train but am starting to get the desire to.

You know you're a pole dancer when your hands are so dry the tops of them are cracked and bleeding but you refuse to put lotion on because it will make the pole slippery.

One of the big secrets for this is to change your way of thinking….imagine pulling the top of the pole down from the ceiling towards the floor in front of you. Or imagine pulling a sumo wrestler over your head rather than just thinking about gettin your bum in the air. 😉

I just tried my first class yesterday and loved it!!! I think I'm going to start doing it more once the boot camp I'm signed up for is over in 6-weeks.

I've heard awesome reviews on this one because the knobbies really get into your muscles whereas regular rollers compress your tissue: http://www.rumbleroller.com/

Will you link the video you're talking about? I'd like to see this move! 🙂
