This is the finial resting place for the New Years Resolutions topic. Sorry to those of you who had posted on this topic before....I'm so not good with technology. 🙄 🤓 Feel free to re post if you like. So for my first resolution..... 1 Not to delete any more topics LOL. Just kidding. 2 Pole at least 3 times a week. 3 Stretch daily (I have been doing pretty well with this one) 4 As I said before... most of my goals have to do with the site so ssshhh its a secret!! 😉 I'm sure I forgot something..... 🤔

My resloutions are going to start after my exams hopefully 1) Get on the sodding pole (I've only been on it once - very briefly this year so far) 2) Get flexible - this will involve stretching every day, and I can't say I'm looking forward to it, hehe 3) Perfect the "Lola Mount" 4) Get the Stag wih hands off 5) Improve on those moves that I don't particularly like doing 6) Not a pole related one - Try and get on a circus skills workshop

so was wondering how everyone is doing with their resolutions i have been on the pole alot more, strectching started good, but have slacked off, -4 of 10lbs wanted to lose, learned reverse climb, superman (but only way can do it is going from crucifix into handstand, letting feet corss at ankles sliding down pole a little with legs and than reaching behind would like to be able to do from shoulder mount or some other more advanced way but am still happy 😀 ), extended butterfly, and posted pics now need to learn a few more moves off list, lose 6lbs (better than 10 😉 ) and get back to stretching esp for splits so overall pretty good 🥂

awesome job camilla!!! im sorry i didnt respond to your short yahoo email, the one about the reverse climb (thanks for explaining it to me!!!) it sounds like you're really coming along!!! ive been slacking lately, ive been stretching but other than that just doing floor moves- its hard to fit poling in when there's school, work, internship, meetings and homework!!!! can i just be done with school already!?!? 🙂
Veena · 2/12/2009
I've been unable to pole like I had wanted. I managed one week of poling 4 times....but then the kids were 🤮 sick 🤮 then I was sick breast feeding issues not vomit LOL thank god. One thing after another. I haven't been keeping up with my stretching either and I can tell. So now that we're on the mend I hope to kick my butt back in gear. I plan on doing some weight training so we'll see.......
pole-twista · 2/25/2009

soooo i joined recently and discovered this post. It's already 1/4 of the way through the new year, but i'll post my resolutions anyways! 1. stretch EVERY DAY! i'm not very flexible at alllll 2. be able to do a split! 3. loose about 10 lbs so i'm back to my comfortable weight 4. pole at least 3x/week 5. get some videos up on the site 6. weight train more....i am strong, but i need to be stronger so i can easily lift my 5'10" 160lb body! 7. do an amateur night!.....not a nakie one though 😳 , and undie one 😉 8. i would list moves i want to learn, but since i'm a beginner and i dont know many besides spins, the list would be much too lonnggg. 9. learn how to do moves on spinny mode - looks so pretty! 😬 10. not let pole interfere too much with school work! 💡 ummmmm......thats all i can think of for now! weeelllll.....i'm off to stretch! 😀
pole-twista · 3/11/2009
ok well have been getting on the pole alot (shorter sessions, but more frequent) and doing ok with stretching got the jade split 🥂 been doing good with eating well and working out almost everyday (even if all I have for is my 48 lunges and 50 squats I do at work in the morning if I dont think I will have time/energy for more later) Have taped a couple more dances and have put $$ aside for a laptop so can post also found someone in area to possibly pole/workout with sometimes and keep up with progress of goals w/ so am doing ok how bout everyone else? ❓
Former member · 3/11/2009
i love reading about everyone's progress!!!!!!!! i better update my goals since a lot has changed since i first posted: 1- continue to stretch everyday 🥂 2- make lapdance vids 3- pole at least twice a week (im so far behind compared to you guys!) 😮 4- make a pole video 5- try to remember that school comes first, not the troupe or pole.... 🤐 the reason i haven't poled much is 1) because ive been focusing on other dance things- like tonight i learned "beat it" from michael jackson because i was bored LOL, and 2) because ever since i broke my ceiling, my pole is in a terrible spot and i can't do much without smashing into furniture lol! when i have time ill move it hopefully 🙂

I was just browsing though the forum and was wondering how you all were doing with your resolutions? ??????? I still haven't managed to pole 4 times a week and haven't gone back to the weights yet either. I had a really frustrating pole work out yesterday so I think I will do some weights this afternoon. I feel like I've hit a plateau as far as moves go...just because I'm lacking a bit in strength. 💪 Pole dance has transformed my body soooo fast after having Henry that I have to remind myself I gave birth only 6 months ago!! 💣 I've been taking it slower than I thought I would, or could for that matter. I really only dance 1 or 2 a week. My goal was 4x but I just have been trying to listen to my body and my mind. Give my body the time it needs to rest in between work outs and give my kids the time they need with their mommy. They grow sooooo fast, I'm at a point right now that I don't want to miss out on making cookies with my kids because I wanted to go pole. Even though it is "technically" part of my job. So I feel my dancing may be suffering a bit because of that but...I try to keep my dancing from interfering with my family time so it can be a hassle, I'll skip my work out during the day with the intent of doing a night pole and haha that never happens. Oh the juggling act of motherhood. I HAVE been keeping up with my stretching!! Its nice because its something I can do while I work. Ok well this got a lot longer than I wanted ooops 😳

Well no one's really responded to this since Veena was looking for an update, so... yeah here I am. This is my list of pole resolutions - Studio Veena style 😀 I want to: -do inverted moves as well and as gracefully as Veena and Fleur -do transitions and floor work as well as Sascha (and as sex-ily... if that's a word 😜 ) -be as fluid as Glitter 🙂 -have as much energy as Jungle 😉 Those are the only ones I'm thinking of at the moment... I have to go back through and watch some other people's vids... Everyone has great strengths in their pole dancing that I want to learn from! 🥂
Veena · 4/23/2009
Haha I like your list, and I'm flattered to be part of it. 😳
verucablue · 8/2/2009
Lets see... The 2 that I really think will help with my pole progress are - Lose 20 pounds - Get my damned splits back 😀 Then in general...practice more...create a pole space for myself and keep the damned pole up...and at some point dance for my husband.

So here are my resolutions for next year 😀 1. workout everyday. Rather it is using the wii, pole, strength traing with the pole or using the insanity program to workout with!! 2. Cook new healthy stuff 🥂 3. Would love to have a pole jam somewhere and meet sv members 🥂 4. do well in school. 5. Would love to travel overseas and see new things and in the meantime travel the us 😂 6. loose weight 🫡 7. learn some new pole moves!!! 🥂 short list, but some are long term goals. I hope I can meet them!! HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE 😁

1. Pole 5-7 days a week for at least an hour a day (this includes warming up and cooling down, so it's not that crazy, is it?). I manage 3-4 days a week normally including 3 classes and practice after, but want to kick it up a notch. Hope work doesn't kill ALL my time 2. Pass my Intermediate 3 pole class this term (by April) 3. Pass aerial preparation and move to aerial assortment this term (kind of pole-related as I hope to be allowed to learn Chinese pole) (by April) 4. Learn and nail heaps of combinations and put a routine together with all my best moves. I usually just do one move at a time, maybe some small combos... Longer combo chains end up looking messy, though I can do some. Stamina, grip and dancing/transitions are my main (huge) problems 🙂 Maybe I can make a full-length video not in clip-form this year?!

My Resolution for 2010. Starts off with my energy level - I am struggling with motivation right now. Discipline - I have none! 😈 Depression - I have been fighting that for the last two months. 🙁 Diet - I live in one of the capitols of food and it is very difficult not to overeat. 😳 Sensitivity -I am too sensitive and take everything to heart so I need to toughen up. 💪 Exercise - along with pole = better results. My demon is running. Master pole moves - mainly the shoulder mount and the split grip hold. 🫡
