ok – that actually helps a lot – I guess if I want the form that I want, I need to figure out my CAR!
-
I hear you – I am acting as a single mom because my husband is deployed with the military. I am also in the military and work full time and take care of my four year old son and our house. I have been getting almost mad at myself because lately I feel so tired and not motivated. I feel like I am losing strength and have ZERO flow now. I know it doesn’t help – but you aren’t alone and don’t be too hard on yourself.
-
Well I am fully recovered, but I do have some screws in my vertebrae and two fussed vertebrae, which makes back bends just a little more difficult – but I am sure I will get there eventually.
-
Yes jsheridan – pictures would be of great help – my back isn’t that flexible. I was a gymnast when I was younger, but was in a really bad car wreck and broke my neck/ back 6 years ago – so I lost it all recovering from that.
-
Hmmmmm, alrighty – I thought that you could grab the pole or not, I shall just work on back bending 🙂
-
I live in an even colder part of Canada lol – it is -27 here today, but is way better than the -43 it was yesterday. I just bought a heating blanket that I wrap around my pole. I hate dancing in a hot room, which is why I don’t use a space heater. You can get electric heated blanket at places like walmart 🙂

Your pain is almost definitely muscular in origin, but is not the diaphragm as you diaphragm is relaxing during exhalation. Might I suggest that you take a break from inverting for two weeks and ease into in slowly after that. Do some light thoracic stretching. If the pain is still there after a rest period or two weeks, consult your family physician or a physiotherapist.
-
probably not an injury from the breathing, that would be bilateral and inferior (where your diaphragm is. I think you have a strain of you intercostal muscle, which just needs rest to get better.

Hey – I spent a good 6 months researching everything I could. I live in Canada, and in the end the best bang for my loonie was the x pole. It was $80 shipping… all in all I ended up paying $500 CAD. It will probably be more because the loonie sucks lately, but it is worth every penny (or nickel now I guess lol!).

I have been OBSESSED with all the songs and dance to them every session
-
great.
Now I have a raging lady boner.
just great.
-
Hey girly! Can you maybe upload a video of your attempt? We could really get this figured out fast with it!
-
Hey! I am going to have a video review on up tomorrow. I’ll message you the link when it is up. I live in Northern Canada, which is very dry and have dry skin too!
-
OH Veena! You’re killing me! Showing me things I only WISH I could do lol! Not quite ready for Aiysha yet – need to keep workin’ the abs.

Hey there!
Your body is unfortunately not ready to invert yet. During pregnancy, your abdominal muscles get pushed apart at your uterus expands. Your abdominal muscles are not knitted back together yet, so any moves that require a strong core are going to take time. What I recommend for my patients (more from experience than medical) is wearing a belly wrap after birth. It holds your abdominal muscles tight, increases stability and helps your body to heal. Despite what we see in celebrity world, birth is very traumatic on a woman’s body and 5 weeks is not nearly long enough to recover. Give yourself time to heal, and perhaps do some VERY mild abdominal exercises.

I trained at Pink while I was on Temporary Duty (military) in Moncton – amazing for sure! Michelle is a great teacher and very supportive of passions!
-
Unfortunately the only new places that have cropped up are in Dartmouth and Bedford – 🙁 Order a pole and do the lessons on here! It would save you $$ in the long run 🙂

Sooooo – I am sick as a dog with a sinus infection and haven’t been able to do splits stretching or pole since Sunday. My husband left on deployment on Saturday and I started a new job in my second language on Monday. And my son is being impossible because he misses his Daddy and started at a new school on Monday. ALL that being said – I feel almost OVERWHELMING guilt about not being in my studio working out or stretching. As a patient told me today, ” my everything hurts”. Anyone else ever feel so irrationally guilty?
-
Mine is nice and spinny! Sometimes a little too much – but I am a long time static user and am too used to throwing my body into spins…. way too much momentum for spinny poles.
-
It could be that you need something different than dry hands. I am in the process of doing a product comparison review for about 10 different grip aids/ antiperspirants. Each of them work a little differently and address different issues, so you might have to experiment with what works best for you (or wait for my video review to come out!)
Also, maybe work on slow release of grip. Have you ever seen those little tools people squeeze to increase grip strength? I use one but don’t know it’s name lol… perhaps try squeezing that and releasing it VERY slowly to gain more control of the relaxing of that muscle. Just my 2 cents!
-
Lilfairie you might just do better than everyone then!!! During pregnancy your body releases a hormone called relaxin, which makes your ligaments and tendons MUCH more elastic than when you are not pregnant!
-
Well, I jumped in on this – did three days in one :S

I am going to jump on to this as well. I am in the Canadian Armed Forces and just got back a month ago from being away from my husband and son for two years (visiting every two months). But now, my husband is away! So I am going back to being a (doing it alone) mom, working full time at the base hospital, completing a Master’s degree and wanting to reach my pole goals… thank goodness for 7pm bedtime for my little man!
Short Term Goals:
Put together a routine
bullet to butterfly
inside and outside leg hang
ankle release
side V to superman (my nemesis!!!)
Put up a video (get over my fear of others seeing how non-graceful I am!)Long Term Goals
side and centre splits
handspring to split grip aysha
shoulder mount
other fun goodiesI hurt my left forearm doing something (I think split grip) – and it seems like it will not get better! I started doing some squeezy exercises to increase forearm strength.

Thanks pretties! I think I will order it today 🙂 and I will post a video review once I get it.
