I would love an easy chair routine for fun

I had to stop poling a year ago because I moved from an apt. to a house and I did it all by myself while my hubby was on deployment. I just started poling off and on again since about October November time frame. I gained so much weight! It’s the heaviest that I’ve ever been and I was so upset because I would have to start all over again.Not to mention in the year we want to add someone to the family and I just don’t want to be 4’11 and being 200lbs. let me tell you I got depressed. I only got on the scale 1 time just to see how much I gained and that was it. If you continue to look you will become obsessed on the numbers and it could turn into an unhealthy obsession. Instead I focused on my progress poling and how my clothes fit. Muscle weighs more than fat, so you always have to remind yourself of that. I would say that maybe you can add more cardio or may revamp what you are eating or something like that. Oh I remember one thing that really help take the weight off and let me see my hard earned progress was weight training.

The good thing is that she is challenging you, but if you see something and you are like, “What, you want me to what?” Then you should kind of tell her, “Wait a minute I’m not ready for that yet.” and she should be able to take a step back and wait until you feel solid in your other tricks and ready for a new one. I just think that she is so excited to teach things that she might be on hyper-drive. If your not ready then say it, you don’t want to hurt yourself. Cause it’s a bummer going through withdrawals as you stair at your pole and you know that you can’t touch it.

I agree with Veena and if by chance internet is slow or on the fritz get some dvds.

Do the 30-day start off. Prepare your body for what you will be asking it to do. I was military where they really press good form and being fit and let me just say when I started pole it really kicked my muscle’s butt. I mean I had no idea. Just because you consider yourself fit, doesn’t mean that your body can do everything. I have been poling for 3 years and I had to take a break last year because I moved from an apartment to a house and I just didn’t have the money to go and my pole wasn’t up yet and now that I’m doing it again. I’m pretty much back to beginner all over again, so I am starting from ground zero. I finished the 30 day last month and it was a great refresher. I think if by chance you might get a little board with something like lunges turn it into a combo a some light weights. Do extra fundamentals and tricks along with the 30 day. I was taught that pole will never get easy. If you think it’s getting boring or mundane, guess what? it’s time to find the more advance way of doing it, or it’s time to learn a new trick. =)

Well is it normal yes (as long as they keep it in their mind). Is it right? Not really especially if he is really obvious about it and if he is doing it out in public or mixed company. I would maybe seek some counseling and find out what the issue is. Just as a fly on the wall I would say give him up. He’s not going to change and there are too many men out there that will find you beautiful and will only desire you. You did what you had to and it still didn’t work, so “Bye Dude.” You need to find that strength that all of us know you have and walk on, don’t look back. Even if he begs and pleads with you that he’ll change and that he loves you. That’s just to keep you there. Mean while he’ll continue.

It depends on your budget. I had a pink lil Minx it was fine, but I am saving for an XPole because it’s the best.

Oh Lord another thing to get me in trouble! Well I would wait and see what they offer.

RoMo, I heard that you can download her dvd’s from her site AletheaAustin.com, but I haven’t tried it, but you can check it out. I just bought the dvds and you can get those from so many venders

I have all of them and I love them. Anytime I want to connect a little more sensually I pop her dvds in.

I have thigh high boots that I bought waaaaay long time ago (Zip ups not lace ups) and I have big thighs too, so what I do is I take my hair dryer and I put it on medium heat and I heat the material a little before I put them on right at the area where my thighs are , then I put them on and start to zip them up. If I need it a little warmer I just turn on the blow dryer and continue to heat, so it loosens the material a little and i squat and bend while I do it. I would put the hair dryer any where where it’s tight. Just don’t use high heat I did that once and it really scorched my skin. Not injury scorch, but Man did I feel the heat. Maybe try not to lace them so tight or so high, maybe try to gradually get further up the leg, so the material has time to stretch and mold to your legs.

Since you are feeling some discomfort I would rest for a week or so. That’s how I hurt my shoulder. I thought that maybe if I babied it while I still trained that it would be ok. Yeah not really. I had to go to physical therapy and I was out of pole for like 2 months. So maybe if you rest your hip now, maybe your hip won’t hurt.

At my studio they have flex class after a pole class because usually we stay after that class and we’re already warm, so we just warm up a little more and we get to it. I once did a flexibility work shop and then later had a regular pole class and I never experienced any pains or issues. i think that it kind of varies on the person and maybe what your doing when you are poling. I guess maybe you wouldn’t want to do like a “power trick” class after a flexi class, but I think a regular choreo pole class would be fine.

I GOT IT! It is so good. It is really challenging, but I love it. There is a section where you are rocking back and forth. Lol, yeah that is non-existent for me. To do that it takes back strength that right now I lack, but my back will get strong again. I do agree with Skull Pixie that some areas seemed a little rushed, but all I did was pause the dvd until I felt like I was ready to move on. Sometimes you have to hold positions longer than what they hold them to really get that stretch. I needed a good shoulder stretch because one of my shoulders got injured last year and it has been really stiff. I like it. I have natural back flexibility, so this really helps me progress.

Jay Robb is a good brand and if you want to go Vegan Vega One is surprisingly really good. You can also go to bodybuilding.com and find great brands. If you don’t mind the price isagenix is a good brand, but it is pricey and you have to basically buy from an affiliate in your area.
