Amy has that tip on her blog about the Superman to cradle/Jamllla transition, and she also shows it from a hood ornament. So maybe you could do hood ornament to Jamilla to butterfly? And that frees you up to do a lot, obviously.

I just graduated from UMass Amherst and even more recently (like, two days ago) landed a job with Kaplan Test Prep as an SAT instructor. It's only part-time, though, so I shall have to look for something else as well!

Yeah, isn't it some kind of shoulder mount lock? (Not that I can even do a shoulder mount.)

@JelliCrew: Yeah, I do know that I can do challenges whenever, but for some reason I never quite want to after the month has passed. I know, it's weird.
@hookedonpole: Really? Darn, sorry, I had no idea–I must have missed that. I tried to make it clearer with the question mark, but now I can't change it! Oh well, I'm sure Veena or Webmaster can change it for me if it's a problem.
@HotelChick: Apparently I'm doing EVERYTHING wrong. I didn't see that! Was it in another thread that I missed? I tried to check the most recent few threads so I that I wouldn't be redundant.

Those are by Kobi Levi! I'm OBSESSED with his work, though I don't love those particular shoes (not because they're dirty, but because I just don't think they're very pretty). He does some awesome ones that look like birds or dogs or other crazy things, though.

Hawaii is probably TOPS on my list of places I want to visit. Can I stay with you if I come one day? I'll sleep curled up in a Drama Queen at the top of your pole if there's no other room!

That's so great! Please keep us updated, I'm sure you'll be an amazing teacher. I so wish I could bop on over to Hawaii, but….y'know…I live in Massachusetts.

@Kiki: HELL yes. I did a freestyle to "Now I Only Want You Gone" from Portal 2, and it's one of my favorite freestyles. I've been meaning to go back and do "Still Alive"!

DO. IT. That song is addictive and PERFECT for dancing to, obviously, as it's a waltz!

I can't find the video, but I'm pretty sure I saw blondebird do this move! But only because she's superhuman.

Angel1201, that's so reassuring!
I'll probably be ordering mine in the next few days…I'm not fully decided on whether it would be more advantageous for me to get a personal trainer certification or a group fitness certification, or whether it would be best to just do both? Would that be too overwhelming? Any advice would be fantastic.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled penis programming.

I did Insanity over the summer with my dad. Honestly, I did kind of end up losing upper body strength, but that had a lot to do with the fact that it was so humid that I didn't feel safe doing inverts all summer. It was pretty good for my stamina, but the results really didn't stick around at all once I went back to school and couldn't work out all the time. (I found that P90X stuck around for MUCH longer–but then again, it takes an enormous amount of time to do all those workouts.)
But it does get better. It definitely won't leave you this tired and sore after a while.

I was going to get my materials soon. I haven't really studied any related subjects–am I going to be able to get through it??

Well, according to WikiPole, there are several variations–the one where the back leg is on the opposite side of the pole from you, the one where it's on the opposite side but touching the pole, and the one where it's on the same side. Here's a video of Elisabeth Marchenko doing the first variation. She starts getting into it at 1:04.

Judging by MilienElayne's pictures, I'd guess that you could get into the other variations the same way?

Okay! I'll try those things for now and move on to the lessons later. Thank you so much, Veena!
