Struggles of a pole mom

lovelyme143 started this discussion · 5/12/2014

I am sooo excited that I have time this week to get to a pole studio. Due to my little one's and work and school obligations I have not been able to attend a pole studio since the turn of the year :( This week is unique as I have some in between time to myself. I want to be able to go more often, and have an aunt that is may be available to watch my children. BUT, how do I ask her? I don't want to share with her that I am taking pole classes as she will likely not share my enthusiasm...lol

I think "I'm going to the gym" or "I'm going to workout" are both very good and truthful answers :)

That definitely works, thanks! I know I definitely didn't want to lie. Hopefully with her help I'll be able to go regularly!

I'm going to a strength/flexibility conditioning class usually covers it for me. 'Oh, body weight resistance exercises, mostly. Crunches. Pull ups on a bar. Stretching....' Most people glaze over quite quickly.

That works too, since the gym she knows me to go to is in walking distance while the pole studio is a train ride away. Loving the suggestions, thanks!

Might be worth remembering to go out wearing decoy gym sneakers and packing booty shorts in bag or wearing under gym leggings! Heh heh...
