How about Mischief & Trouble? 🙂

Hi Sues, no idea if this helps but i've recently started Bikram Yoga, it's a series of 26 yoga poses in a really hot room designed to help you with strength and flexibility.
The first session was really hard and I could tell me muscles were screaming at me but 3 days later at my second class, I could hold the poses and my hanstrings were noticably happier about being stretched.
No idea if it's reached Peterborough…Yoga is good in general for this but doing it in a hot room decreases the chance of your hurting yourself apparently and makes your muscles more pliable, my split is already looking better.
Hope this helps

Hi hun, sorry to hear about your breakup. I went through the same thing about a year ago, I didn't want to pole and just fell into a pit of dispair. I ended up giving up for a while, I didn't eat properly so had no energy.
I just needed someone to tell me to eat some junk….force the apetite back and go to a few practice sessions at my local school. It helped me no end. The main thing is, don't give up, just channel your energy and any anger into pole, you'll improve no end. It'll take time but surround yourself with friends and talk about it if you need to.
Pole is one thing that you can do for you, pick a move to aim for…even if it seems far fetched and once you've got it nailed (a few weeks/couple of months) you'll probably find you feel so much better than when you started
Good luck sweetie

Tuesday sounds great, also too lazy to stretch on my own. Just found a gym that includes pole as it’s nrmal classes…I have a pole at home but no motivation to use it currently…pole at the gym 3x per week and stretch on Tuesday would be purrrrfect!

Hey,
I had the same sliipy issues in the winter and have used the hair dryer to warm my pole up, equally in the summer when the chrome gets too hot i’ve been know to use an ice block to cool it down. Depends entirely on the weather, I do find it easier on chrome to grip if my body is wam esp for things like the teddy.
I find the stainless steel one to be equally good in all weathers and i’m considering getting one of those as well so i can try both and get used to both. Before I realised i needed to be really warm to use the chrome, tricks were unbareably difficult. The minute I went to a pole studio and used the SS poles the tricks i worked so hard with on the chrome were easy peasy so my technique on the chrome really made SS really easy. This can only be a good thing though!

So I took two videos yesterday during practice at my studio. I brought them home, threw them on our big screen, and made my hubby sit down and watch. "I had no idea that’s what you were doing. It’s more like gymnastics. That’s amazing!" He was really excited about me poling after seeing that. (He even said his favorite move was me climbing up and doing a pole sit. He said that he had no idea I had that much strength.) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif So yeah, I think showing him what’s been taking up my time really helped and now he seems to understand it better.
Hi Jackib,
I just read this and it’s so great how his attitude changed the minute he saw you dance…i’m sure in no time once he starts seeing your progress he’ll be pushing you out of the door for more classes…and who knows, with Christmas around the corner…maybe Santa will surprise you with a pole?!
Your hubby will only benefit from your newly found strength and confidence!

Hey,
I went on a similar mission a couple of weeks back when I realised this stuff was sooo much fun to dance to…my ultimate fav so far is ‘Red LIght Special’ by TLC it’s an old one but I love it.
I also found ‘Closer’ by nine inch nails, it’s rocky but can be used real slow! FInally and a song called ‘Those shoes’, can’t for the life of me remember the artist though!
Have fun

Mine does something similar, I downloaded the new Flash verison, to watch videos I have to refresh 3 or 4 times, when I do get it to the load the music then stops playing.

Otherwise let’s plan another day and get definite yes’s from people.
