It seems that ACE has the most options, so hopefully it's not too hard find some workshops in my area if I do some serious searching. Oklahoma, however, doesn't seem to be the easiest place to do so 😛

I'm most interested in finding live sessions in my area…but it's so hard to track down!

MemberJuly 20, 2011 at 2:45 pm in reply to: Personal trainer certification–how easy is it to find continuing education?I'm still curious if there's an easier way to find out about workshops/training sessions in the area. ACE and others don't let you search by state, as far as I can tell.

MemberJuly 20, 2011 at 2:30 pm in reply to: Personal trainer certification–how easy is it to find continuing education?Thanks! I have read through a bunch of the threads, but they were mainly geared toward pole certification or teaching pole. While that's one of my main goals, it isn't my only one, so I want to make sure I'm well rounded.
Unfortunately the threads didn't give me an idea of how one goes about getting continuing education credits or finding appropriate workshops to gain them in their area, so I posted this topic.
It has become apparent from the threads and your post that ACE is well-regarded here, it is definitely of most interest to me right now!

I don't think I'll be worrying about the rainbow marchenko anytime soon. I'm still an inch away from floor splits, much less anything else!
-
Maybe this will be a future video lesson? 🙂 I love to see the trends in pole moves that sweep through the community. This one seems to be pretty popular right now, along with the Rainbow Marchenko!

Thank you! I was pointing my free leg down, but apparently I wasn't pointing it down enough! I can see how this would give more of a thigh grip and prevent any fracturing of the lady business 🙂 What a pretty looking move, can't wait to get it worked out!

It's painful for me right now because I can't seem to put my crotch in the right place! Do you have any tips on it, Veena?
-
She does? I don't see it.

It does work with a bent leg. You can even grab it with the opposite hand when you are fully in the move. Sometimes, I grab each foot with the opposite hand too.
-
When I do the CKR, I don't have the pole right in my knee pit–that would throw my balance off. Instead, for me the pole seems to rest on that crease of skin on the side of your leg where the knee bends (I call it my "knee cleavage"), maybe even a little bit onto the calf.
-
I find that the CKR is a bit more stable than the CAR if you want to quickly fall back into the move, for example from a plank or a pole sit. However, the CKR can for some people feel less comfortable than the CAR. I started with the CAR, hated the CKR because it hurt. Now I've switched over to the CKR for its stability!
-
Never heard it referred to as the CNR before, thanks!

What is CNR? Is that the same as a CKR?
