Who wants to do a 30 day fit calendar for Oct?

I’d do one with one!!

Hey guys! I talked at the Pole Expo specifically about the 30 day abb challenge popular on Facebook there for a while and my thoughts on its effectiveness in training for goals of strength increase, definition, and pole performance.

I’m not a big fan of most of the challenges posted, many are not effective. However, they can be a great incentive for people to work on something together and get out and take time each day to workout. So for that reason they can be helpful!!

I think the best options for those type of challenges are the yoga or things of that nature when you are trying a new pose each day. Have you done a yoga one yet Joel?

[Bethany F]

Agreed Veena! They really aren’t affective for the goals that they advertise, and not great training for pole.

Yes, I wonder about the logic of the sequences. The ab challenge I found goes up in weird increments. But like Veena says, the “structure” and the motivation are good for me since I have a hard time getting motivated unless there is some plan in front of me and I feel like am shirking a commitment if I don’t do it. GUilt takes over, ha ha! I just saw Veena’s challenge for abs. I don’t want to do two ab months in a row. But I will come back to hers in a few months. I am thinking arms and shoulders next. I still wear my fit bit and seek at least 10k steps and 50 flights every day. I almost always make that unless I am at an event where I can’t do random walking all day…

Oh, a Yoga one? I need to check that out. I stopped going to yoga now that Laurie is in night school. It seems that without her to kick my butt to go, I don’t get motivated. But I find the meditation aspect to be really helpful because I have so much stress and obsessive thinking in my life right now. I’ll look into a challenge….but for yoga, I like having the guided teacher aspect…

I would do one for October b/c I’m trying to at least do 15 min of pole a day besides any classes as I can fit in. I’m having a hard time fitting in classes b/c of my job.
