    I call my feelings of awkwardness being 'Dorky".  
    So.. to overcome it, I spent a good portion of last week puttin on music I loved and Just dancing.. around the living room, on tip toes, etc.

    It helped.  Do it.  🙂  (Oh,, and .. it doesn't hurt to throw in a lap dance for the significant other once a month or so – I require alcohol for the necessary relaxation! :):)

    OH.. and on "OIL" for massage.. the very best and most absorbent is Jojoba.  I used to use it exclusively on all my clients, and would carry along my own when it was My turn! 😉

    I just hated feelin like I was gonna slide outta my shoes and break my butt after a massage.  You can always take your own jojoba, too!

    Very deep muscle aches can certainly FEEL like 'the bone'.  I've had a few, and just KNEW I was gonna die, have to have surgery, or be in a wheel chair for life.. (back..lol.. that was a good one… I thought it was breaking every time I had to lower to the toilet.)  

    Hope you get to feelin better.. massage, massage, massage! 🙂

    Yeah… I'm being careful about all of it… warm up, switch hands, rest time in between.  I guess I'm gonna have to quit sittin on my sofa in between days. LOL.. I notice it most then, but I slouch a bit!

    Well.. at least I know for sure now what's causing it. THANKS!

    Yep.. Veena's lessons.  I was just reading another newbie post (or return newbie?) who was totally BUFF, but has/had trouble w/ doing some of the actual pole lessons.  Aparerently it's a different kind of strength! :):) 😉

    No tellin' What it is! 😉  From one with a 'bitchy body'… keep going for it, but not past the pain.  You know .. just til you can't stand it. *grin*  

    My body finds more ways to hurt than a cat finds things to play with!  BUT.. as I get in a little bit better shape.. it lessens. 🙂

    You might want to try reflexology (self induced) on that very spot that is hurting.   Just put pressure on it w/finger for 30 seconds; then move to the 'ends' or where you think it connects to the bone, and do it again.  SOMETIMES you can get relief from pain this way.  (Or get a significant other or child to do it when you can't reach. :):)

    I guess you and I can be the Push Up wimps? lol.. We'll GET IT. Eventually. :):)  I'm only going about half way down and worked up to 8.  I refuse to do More til I can do them RIGHT. 🙂

    April 19, 2011 at 11:18 am in reply to: Headaches

    My youngest son (now 21) had weekly migraines (for lack of a better word) much like you describe.  He too took all the docs had to offer including even an injectable one. 

    Crazy as it sounds: What WORKED for HIM… An all orgainic diet.  Yep.  He was 16 or so at the time  While waiting for my diet supplies to come in, I switched to all orgainic foods, so that's what he got too. After about ten days, I LOST 11 LBS, as well!! 🙂

    He did not have another headache for a year or more.  There is likely something in processed food you are allergic to.

    April 18, 2011 at 9:17 am in reply to: Dance now…OR save it for later???

    Absolutely!  what they said!

    Just last night I moved my ipod player into the pole room.  (I've been making myself 'dance' around the living room this last week cause I felt like a total dork in my own body! lol)

    I'm only starting week 4 and mostly still just strength training; done two Pole Holds and that's about IT.   BUT…

    Last night… I felt soooo much more comfortable 'dancing' around the pole.  And ya know what?  I did a BUNCH of Pole Holds….. I'm Just Sayin;

    ALWAYS Go For It.  One of my favorite quotes;

    "I have no yesterdays, Time took them away; Tomorrow may never be, But I have TODAY." 🙂

    My current mirror is about 3 x 5 and is about 6-7 ft. away from the pole.  Nah.  Not workin' for me. I have been toying with moving to another room.  The further away the mirror IS, of course; the more you can see. 🙂

    April 14, 2011 at 8:44 am in reply to: How To Shorten a Song?

    What sort of 'music' are you using?  Mp3 or??

    I have a video editing software (Corel Video Studio 12?) and it has (as I'm sure most do) a separate 'trak' where you can drag in whatever song or sounds you want.  (As long as you can get them loaded into the program.) 

    I know there are lots of free online…. just hunt around and maybe you can find something for your specific situation.

    Maybe someone on here can help if you tell us a little more?

    April 14, 2011 at 8:31 am in reply to: New to the pole, just sayin’ hey!

    Hi Dwiizi and Welcome!

    I'm new here too (new to ALL of it. lol)  My only dance 'lessons' were in 7th grade for 6 wks of Modern Dance; so you're really fortunate to already know a lot of REAL dance!  I feel like a dork all alone in my own pole room.. lol

    I'm starting week 3 and feel SO MUCH STRONGER.  Veena's lessons are the best thing I've ever done/purchased.  Everyone here is TOTALLY supportive and helpful.

    That being said: I felt like a total Noodle Body last month (AGAIN.. LOL, I'm starting to feel like Sally O'Mally -SNL character by Molly Shananon) "I'm 57!"  and was a total wreck physically.  Bad knee, arthritis, fibromyalgia.. blah blah. But in this short time, I feel GREAT!  This is for anyone, any age, any level!  Veena's lessons, and strength training are the BEST.

    She breaks down everything sooooo welll that ANYBODY can accomplish whatever they want.  I'm still not on the pole – and it may take me a year – but because of the ease of lessons; I KNOW I'll get there.  I actually did a Pole Hold last week, so each small accomplishment it HUGE when you get it – and on here YOU WILL.

    Congratulations and again, welcome.
