    @ Saphyre – How funny about the Charlotte connection. Your massage therapist was probably working on a trigger point release. You can go to the websites for both ART and Graston and find practitioners in your area. I hurt so bad I could barely get dressed or take a shower. My doctor thinks I dislocated a rib and as a result of not taking time to heal the erector spinae muscle group knotted up with scar tissue. I hope you start feeling better soon! If you’re ever in Charlotte come pole with me!

    @ Saphyre … See if you can find anyone in your area that does ART – Active Release Technique and Graston Technique. I messed up the same muscle so bad I couldn’t lay down, life my arm or even carry my pocket book. I got Graston and ART done twice and I was back to normal. If you have questions let me know. I hope you heal quickly!

    TRX suspension training. Awesome workout and gets your core like nothing I’ve ever tried. Have a TRX system set up right beside my pole!

    We are taught from an early age to be nice to others and deciplined if we aren’t. Where is the disconnect in being nice to ourselves? As women we have accepted this.

    The filter (think strainer) for negative comments and harmful self talk has HUGE holes and the bad stuff gets through. The filter for the good compliments and positive thinking has tiny holes and next to nothing gets through.

    Try swapping those two. Let the filter with big holes filter the uplifting compliments and positive thinking. Let the filter with the tiny holes have the negative thoughts and self doubt.

    Try this for a week … Pick something a silver car, a Waffle House, a dog/cat and every time you see that object you have to say something positive about yourself.

    You ladies are BEAUTIFUL!!!

    @FeeDen … I got the side tie shorts without the tie from Mika and I LOVE them but I wish the waist was a little more snug.  I would suggest getting the ones with the tie if you have a smaller waist so you can sinch them in.  Ill probabloy order another pair with that tie.

    How much protein are you getting? Figure .5 – 1 grams per pound of body weight for weight loss. Protein is fuel for your muscles. For a 150 pound person that would be 75-150 grams a day. Protein to your diet is like black to your wardrobe … Slimming!

    Discount worked great! Thank you for posting. Mika shorts are so comfortable and offer nice coverage for those of us with a little “junk in the trunk”. Mika shorts accentuate the positive!

    The closer you can walk your feet towards your elbows the more intensity you will feel in your upper back and shoulders. Your head and shoulders never touch the floor. Another option is to extend one leg up
    into the air and hop on the leg still on the floor. When I teach it I will start in bows and toes plank and move up to dolphin and repeat 3 times holding each position 30-60 secs. Fantastic way to strengthen the upper body.

    Reverse push ups are great too. Start laying flat on your stomach with hands (palms) under your shoulders flat on the floor. Glue your elbows to your sides (rib cage). Tuck you toes under and lift you body in one straight lineoff the floor about 4-6 inches and hold for 10 seconds. Great for chest, arm, shoulder and core strength. Try them and let me know what you think!
