    Oh yes..pole is a roller coaster ride. I think that is what is great about it.. It is your journery and dont compare your self to others. Everyone has there own speed or rate of building strenght and endurance and understanding the "physics of the pole" You have to forget everything you know and be new..

    Remember…weather matters, skin temperture matters, room temperature (how do you spell that darn word?) matters, humidy matters, skin chemistry matters, did you contaminate the pole with some product you used? =slippery pole, pole finish and diameter matter, and as always YOU have to bend around the pole =up and down you will slide…more sideways you will stay better.. This is not a linear workout.. you have to let the pole hold you up… not the other way around.

    your scorpio looks really really good. You could also try…(after you hook the inside leg PULL you body up a little bit with your hands to really secure the pole low on the waste…right above the hip…THEN settle into the 'HANG"  you can place your inside hand on the pole for a little security..then release it when you secure) you wont get as great of an arm pit grip but it will really helps secure the pole in your waste..Eventually learn "both" ways..you will need the different versions for different transitions. If you watch a lot youtube videos..) Felix Cane does it…you will see them do that little adjustment on their leg hangs. (invert, grab pole with leg, slight pull up and release of hands into leg hang. Amercian pole dancers are not taught it as much..they are taught more "arm pit grip"

    PS..you need to know both, and if you are doing the arm pit grip amke sure you have skin and watch the deoderant..it can sometimes be slippery

    get both!! get both!!… Felix Cane told that she started learning on both static and spin mode right away and that in America we generally dont work on spin mode that much. Take it very slow with spin mode…a few minutes each session to work up indurance.

    I think it is less risky on light skin.. It actually helped my pigmentation issue..but I am casper. I dont think you get fat loss, but a laser might tighten the skin.

    @saphyre…did you go full CO2 or did you get the fraxillated one (but not fraxil) I had the Portrait Plasma Laser done a few years ago. 6 fulls days of scary face downtime, (soaks every couples of hours and no public time)

    How long was the CO2 downtime. I heard its long?

    when I first started poling  I was using morracian oil on my hair in the shower, a little would run down the back of my legs…the residue of the oil was enough to make you slide right down the pole…"an instructor one day said I smell cocoa butter"  ding ding light goes on..stopped using that and it helped a lot.

    I am more dry like luvee. Pole physics is the best, but I still have use right before. I dont need grip ads then. Just a little dry hands for me. I have a little hand held steamer to help keep the pole clean too.  

  • this is really funny.

    sometimes I think my husdand wants to say that to me..(not quite that bad) but hell say." Ill be impressed when you can do move from start to finish perfectly" or …you only go one way around the pole most of the time..

    I've also heard tite grip is great. I use acetone once in awhile to remove any buildup and, You can also try dry hands applied to the Pole to help with a little more grip..dont use a lot or it will just get gritty.

    I've heard good stuff about Juvederm.. the ultra is thicker..great for the nasia folds (nose) and then the regular is good around the mouth. The have some groovy techniques for the mouth area..so ask some different docs about that.

    For the money…fillers are the least exspensive, shortest down time than any laser treatment that will REALLY  work. You can get a botox for around the eyes..often times it will open up the eye a little bit.. (do the line in between the eyebrows to lift and do the sides of the eyes to soften the lines around the eyes. If you have the lines running down the side of your nose..a filler is great. It's not permanent, but often people find they need less and less over time.  

    CO 2 lasers are very effective, costly , and a lot of down time.

    Ulthera is a new one that will tighten the skin..(price varies) It's much much much better than refirme and better than thermage. 

    there are fractional lasers that have different degrees of down time vs tighten, lighten, toning, and lifting abilities. (of course cost)

    I think a filler is the cheapest way to create more fullness. It depends if you are a "sinker" or a "sagger"

    Go to some different plastic surgeons and get some consults…ask your friends. Technique and experience are important when it comes to these procedures. They are not as "slam dunk" as you think. 

     

  • HAAA HAA hooping…ha ha ha ..Cant wait to start..covering all the breakables first though.

  • Yeah TA..(transverse adomious) You should teach Pilates too…I'm always telling my peeps "it is all about the TA!"  LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!!!!! 

  • holy moly…awesome…love the little outfit malfuntion.. It nice to see that someone as awesome as you is just a regualr human.. Your baby in front of the camera was hilarious..Sometimes I think..oh yeah I got that move..and then I look at the footage and go "huge crotch shot" cant even tell if I got it or not because I have a bad angle. I have spontaniously slid to the floor of my Jades..(new to that move) because of my sweaty armpits. XO 

     

    Love it!!

    I think we should start a thread that is our "bloobers and epic failers." I didnt post any videos for a long time because I felt they were bad and had mistakes. I just started posting some of my videos…but I have a typically  editited out the 'eee gads!" parts. So I will start it in a new thread.
