I keep hearing about 30 day challenges for everything else, so what say we make a 30 day pole challenge? Do something pole-y every day, whether it's a full on pole practice or just a snippet of floorwork. For added points, video it all and post your favs or a clip show at the end. Anyone in?

I'm already on my pole everyday! LOL It's not often I actually have time for a full on practice, but I have to take a little spin or pop into a trick almost every time I walk past it (or while dinner is cooking). Too bad I can't just leave the video camera up...my kitties would knock it over and break it. Otherwise I'd be in for sure. :)
That would be fun! I'd love to see my progress at my attempt at a handspring. I'm in :)
I'm in too!! there are three moves that I would like to get down, maybe 30 days is all I need!!
Sounds fun.... Might be just the motivation I need to make sure I take some "ME" time everyday!!
oh ohh count me in.. I shall begin tonight!!! Great idea..
This is a great idea. I'm in too.
Sounds like fun! it'll be good for me to get into recording my practices so I can see what I need to work on. I'm a total noob, so it'll be fun to see how much I can accomplish in 30 days!!
Oh what the hell, even if I know I can't video it, I'm in. My goal for the first half (end of April) is to finish the spinny choreo I am working on. :)

I'll play along.....it'll be a good motivator...kind of like accountability partners. Thanks for the idea "smokinangel"
Yay! Hopefully by then I've figured out video editing, too. I see a blooper reel coming 😉
That sounds awesome. First day will be putting tha pole back up. (Teething pug puppy decided chewing on metal feels good. He was gnawing on our metal coffee table too!!) It'll be a perfect way to start poling again after a couple months off.
OMG i feel like im in a class room, im in too. wont be able to vid every session, but we'll see the finished product...feel like dancing YOU GO GIRLS!!!
I still need to work myself up to getting ON the pole in the first place, weak arms and huge ass= grounded, but I'm in for the motivation and accountability...def NO vids yet tho'!!!
Ok, so I officially started yesterday, but didn't video. (didn't start Sat because I worked hard on Fri and it was my rest day) Almost didn't do any pole work at all, but watched the Ugly Truth, and 'Right Round' by Flo Rida came on at the end, so I jumped up and did some impromptu dancing and a couple of spins. That was the limit of what I did yesterday, but it was fun! I've never practiced to music outside of my classes (which I stopped 2 months ago) because I've mostly been doing strength work, but I enjoyed it. More on schedule for later today, after work - time for a hard-core strength building session! ^_^
My pole is down today while my leaky roof is getting fixed... wonder if the repair guy would appreciate it if I practiced booty bounces instead? 😕
I would love to, but unfortunately I just moved, and my pole is down till I can get my stepfather to come up and install it! He's the only one with the tools and stuff to do it, unfortunately :(
I need help! How do I start this?!
@Julia, It's just for fun. Jump on your pole everyday. Even if it's just for a few minutes, record yourself if you can, and make a vid after 30 days. See what you can accomplish!
@dustbunny, I know it's just for fun but ive had a really hard time getting into the routine of things. Recommend any dvd's or other websites?

I started my 30 day challenge today! I just got my pole, took some video, and I JUST happen to go on vacation (and to a friends' wedding!) next month! This will be my added motivation to do a little something extra to get in the best shape I can in the next 4 weeks! Lots of body rolls, hip circles, and abs, abs, abs!!! This is going to be such a fun project!
So I put on the radio last night and attempted to bounce my @ss on the floor for a couple songs. LOL, the results are hilarious. Apparently I have a defective left cheek. Sometimes it reacts just slightly out of sync with the right cheek and I end up with a "wave" effect. When trying to move it on it's own, it just sits there and laughs at me. 😀 I also worked on lifting into an elbow stand, it's getting much easier since the last time I tried. Still using the wall/pole for support, or I'll end up on my head, but it's getting there. I dream of the day when I can lift into it in the middle of the room...
