Here is my two-cents on nutrition.
#1. one size does not fit all. We each have our own unique genetic make-up.
#2. When it comes to food…Momma Nature has got it made in the shade. She knows all sorts of things we do not know. There so many undiscovered things about real food and what it is made up of….so eat "real food" not something from a bottle or bag or wrapper. (when you can, I know it's a little more effort to do that)
#3. Rest and hydration are beauty treatments. When you sleep you generally release growth hormone…..(if you havent jacked yourself up with the wrong food or alcohol before nighty-nite time) This is very important to aging and everthing that goes along with that.
#4. it's phyiscally impossible to "lose body fat" and "gain muscle" at the same time. They are two different hormones that rule this type of process in the body. (I pretty sure someone else already addressed this issue too)
#5. THE NUTRITION INDUSTRY IS NOT REGULATED. They are allowed a 25% le-way on the error margin of figuring out the nutritional content of a product. Also, as long as the mouse turds and dead bugs are down to a dull roar in your food they dont have to tell you that either.
For example….the new trend..no trans fat in a lot of packaged food. I cry "bull?!#$." As long as the amount is under a certain amount per serving they can say that. Have you noticed a trend in these mini servings?
SO MORE PROTEIN… eat one egg…the whole darn thing. There are some amazing nutrients in the yolk. Greek yogurt is great for protein too.

Borox helps with smelly laundry. I have the same problem with my workout clothes. My husband says I must have "alien" sweat. I end up with little holes in my clothes where I sweat the most. ..But ….I wash all my stuff with some borox (find it in the laundry section) you can use it for all kinds of sutff too.

My advice is to just pole as if no one is watching. It isnt fair to have to kick him out. It will become normal if you treat it as such. When I pole at home (which is great…cuz I can ask my husband for a spot when I'm a little nervous about something) he doesnt even notice anymore. My pole is in the busiest room in the house too. The only way to change a behavior in other people is to change your self. Get over it and just pole if that is what you like to do, he will adapt. Men are great that way.
Ps. just leave it up too… it becomes invisible after awhile.

Just random…yes the star..Sorry. i bet you she would have been a poler. Did you ever see Barbarella? Sorry..so off the subject. It's been a long day:)

Speaking inspirational women..Did you check out Jane Fonda lately. She is smoken hot at 73? (pretty sure 73)

A good way to start feeling comfortable with forearm grip is with the basic butterfly. When placing the forearm grap it first as if you were going to do elbow grip then grap with the hand ( turn your lower arm down towards the floor.
You can also build up strength by only taking your legs off the pole slightly, so that you get the feel of how much weight you will have in your arms.
Also, you have to make sure your catipillar is very high one. It wont feel right until you are able to get it really high. I have to grap the pole with my bottom hand at chin level for me to get it high enough.
Veena's lessons are very good for this one…listen to every word. When I am trying a new trick I put a little dry hands on so that it slows down the sweat factor.

I actually broke two ribs when I first started Poling. I had bad form and was doing exerscises I wasnt ready for. When you invert, even though your hips should be infront of the pole, your back (side) should not be on the pole. I was rotating my body slightly away from the pole when I would invert and hit the back and side of my rib cage..hips in front, but look at (rotate slightly towards the pole) Watch Veena's lesson and you will see..what I mean.. and crotch to pole…not catch heel and scoot up..if you catch your heel…you will be on the side of the rib cage.

oops typo…. polergirl.

Of course…leave it on and forget about it. You would be surprised in what you see and sometimes it's a little bit of greatness. And watch yourself as if you were watching a good friends video. Leave the judgment out and just enjoy the sharing of someones soul.

Polegirl just put up a video today that was amazing! She has a red flowy dress on. Great flow in that performance.
-
Felix is freaky flexible though…her legs go so far back that the leverage is really helping her stay in the move.
-
When I think of flow I think of a flower blooming in the morning sun. You want the "movement" to have a start and unroll it through your body to the very tips of your fingers, toes, and even hair. Like a flower trying to absorb every ray of sunshine…then it will roll back into itself.. You extend the body..then flex. As you extend..inhale…as your flex…exhale.. Also. make a committement to the movement until the end of it. And yes this is all easier said then done, but I think it is what makes a simple movement beautiful.

I'm partial to Pilates when you are able to work on the equipment relative to Pole. I do not know that much about Yoga. A good Pilates instructor should NOT make you very sore. The concept of Pilates is to train the muscles you already have, not to cause tissue damage to the muscles like a "weight training workout." Pilates is intended to work you from the weakest link out and to not go to fatigue in the muscle. Pilates used in the way it was intended to be used is a great way to balance your body out and prevent injury. I would also recommend a class other than Pilates for deep stretching. In a Pilates class one of the goals is funtional flexibility (most polers want to go beyond that point with their flexibility) and is very linear type of workout.
