Yes! Here in Ontario we now have snow on the ground. That was depressing when I woke up to that a couple days ago.
It usually doesn’t hit me too hard until after the new year, I’ll be to busy to think too much about it until then. Staying active helps, along with some quiet indoor hobbies like crochet or reading. It’s hard though when it’s dark by dinner time…
The last 2 winters I have ended up seeing a councillor by February just to help me get through the worst of it. -
Wow Chem. That video is some of the craziest most insane pole I’ve ever seen, good one!
-
WOW, great link! Definitely high on the “crazy difficult” list.

Allyson, i loved your Day 10 outside in the leaves. Beautiful picture!

I have had an off-week. Which sucks because I was off work and hoped to use some extra time to pole. 2 days this week when I had a good workout planned, my plans feel apart due to life happening and throwing in some extra surprises. Now, I work all weekend and will have little time for myself or working out until Monday! 😕

I believe the original x poles came with 2 main pole pieces plus 2 extentions. Don’t quote me on these numbers, but I seem to be thinking 125mm and 250mm are the extention lengths. The extender screw should be able to make up the difference from one to the other.
I would measure your ceiling as accurately as possible then contact x pole. They will be able to tell you which extention to use for your ceiling height. -
l hope you and your instructor can find something that will work better for you Anzia. I did some conditioning today, worked on some choreo for my classes and tried a couple new moves and transitions. Tomorrow is a scheduled hooping day but I plan on giving a foam roller lesson to a friend, and that may be all I have time for.

@salsadancerhelen I live in Fergus! We should jam sometime. ☺

I haven’t posted in a few days but I have been keeping on track with my daily workouts. Today is a rest day so I’m just going to do some conditioning for feet and hands. ðŸ‘

@slkysmth That “simple” move is really not. It takes a ton of core engagement not to swing and spin. Just keep practicing you will get it.

Side pole hold and knee tucks are VERY hard! You will get there, just do as many as you can right now. When I first started pole I couldn’t lift my body weight at all, it’s totally normal and will get easier the more you practice. Keep going with the 30 days, it’s a great program!

I think it’s good to try new things on both sides, and I have surprised myself on occasion. And I think it’s good to do conditioning work on both sides. Sometime, when I’m really motivated, I add an extra set to my non-dom side. I do work on climbing with both feet, and sometimes inverting, I don’t really do much pole practicing on both sides though except spins. I can do all my spins fairly evenly on both sides and am weirdly proud of that. 😆

Well after 3 days of being super busy I did manage to do one of Veena’s routines today. I will hopefully do some hooping tomorrow and stay on track.

Woo-hoo! Way to go tropical pole. 😄

Anzia, what is a Hercules?
