Jodes_86- Great goals! Thanks for sharing.
For the following:
Pole Exercise (one strength exercise)
Are you focusing on different parts of body or working on the same exercise until you decide to change it?

[velvetvixen]

Great goals everybody! I’ll just post my progress weekly to keep things simple. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I have daily, weekly, monthly goals so for weekly it will say 1/4 weeks if I meet the goal. I missed one session of pole/ stretching late week so it has me not meeting my goal but I still did well. Check it out:

How was the last week for everyone?

[velvetvixen]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I’m slow at learning stuff too but all that matters is enjoying the journey. Happy pole-versary!

First transition: pirouette
First spin: fireman
First trick: I’m not sure…
First invert took me forever and then inverted crucifix (I’m cautious and it takes me a while to get move regardless. Oh well. ) I’m happy when I do get them!

I am right handed but for pole I like doing left handed best. The other day my husband noticed my arms had more muscle, which was nice!
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif Oddly, my right arm is slightly bigger than my left even though I use my left 80% more in pole. What should I do to even it out? Anybody? Its not big difference, but I noticed when I compared them, is that normal?

poleaphile- your Scooby doo comment cracks me up, now I’m going to think that. lol

I wanted to use something to help me keep track of my goals better. I found something that’s FREE, simple, can be accessed anywhere (internet or phone), and I can show my weekly progress on this thread using a link. It also has FB functions if desired. You can make EACH goal private or public. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

Just thought I’d let you guys know. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thanks! Those are the two I know of too. Either would work. I told my friend if had time to do both , if not since she knows a lot of polers, to pick most popular. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

[velvetvixen]

I am thinking pose…hmm I wonder if there is two different ones? Or is the pose your thinking of part of the spin?

[velvetvixen]

I have a friend who is doing a photoshot today so she is going to try to get it posed for me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Spins are hard to catch but since its a professional maybe he can capture it.

[velvetvixen]

reenie-I saw the wall of fame pic on your profile and it looks great! I thought about doing something similar to my pole room but wasn’t sure how to hang them. What did you use?

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Well the reference # was right at least….lol englann86 posted it on FB and I thought it was her that ordered the M&M’s! I had a busy day so only got to check FB for a bit today and didnt get a chance to get on SV until now.

I’m happy people sent emails and everything got resolved. Plus I’m sure the people M&M co. are now better educated!
