Ok, so I just tried to watch the same videos and lessons that I had trouble with and they were much better, only one paused once. I read somewhere that the speed of my bandwidth can vary at different times of day. Maybe this is the issue?

I would say that my connection is very fast and I don’t have problems watching videos on youtube or anywhere else now that I think about it. I like IE just fine and tried out Chrome since it was supposed to better, what other browser would you suggest?

I don’t have kids but if I did I think I’d just be honest about it. I’m doing ‘artistic pole fitness’, or I am practicing aerial pole, Chinese pole, vertical dance, vertical gymnastics, vertical ballet, etc… because that’s what it is, a legit form of exercise. Just don’t call it stripper pole dancing or something like that. I’d just not ever associate it with stripping. Kkeep it G rating around the kids and your fine .. but I do make it dirty for my hubby https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif Maybe it’s easier said than done?? Maybe I will think differently when I am a mom?? I donno. I just see pole dancing becoming more mainstream regular fitness like anything else… LOL hell Yoga has some moves I believe should be x rated! Mmmmm x rated yoga… :p

I like "vertical ballet". And your right about it getting more mainstream, I just saw an ad for a studio in a local parenting magazine. I guess I’m afraid of her telling someone and then they say something about stripping, or worse. Thanks for your suggestions, you’ve at least pointed me in the right direction.

I’ve got crappy knees, what helps me is yoga and a glucosamine/chondroitin liquid supplement.

I’m really stuggling with this issue right now. I finally set up my pole room and have been spending as much time in there as my sore muscles allow. Right now we’re telling our 4 year old that mommy is exercising and needs some privacy. She’s happy to spend time with her daddy and she knows if she needs me she is welcome to come to the door and knock. We taught her about privacy when we began potty training and she knows mommy needs privacy when she studies for school so she gets the concept. She hasn’t asked why I need privacy to exercise, maybe she thinks it’s the same as when I take her to the gym day care when I work out. When the time comes we’ll show her and hope that she understands it’s not a bad thing, it’s not a secret…most of our friends and family know, but it’s something we keep private from people who aren’t close to us. It might be a good way to reinforce our right to privacy….or it might make her a secretive wierdo! I don’t know, it’s the best I can come up with right now. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
