I try really hard to work on things on both sides. I normally remember to do this when I have a bruise that prevents me from doing things on my dominant side. It helps to build strength evenly and makes me stronger overall.
Also, you may want to go get your wrist checked out. It sounds like you could have an overuse injury which may result or be caused by some tendonitis. If it were me, I would have it checked out so I didn't injure myself long term.

One of the studios I go to (in DC) doesn't even introduce the fireman until you have been going to classes for a few weeks. They start with catch spins and other spins that you always have one foot on the ground for. This is to build up strength in your upper body. You have only been doing this for three days! It takes time!

Welcome! Are you on Groupon or Living Social? I have purchased many classes through there for a studio in DC and in Bethesda. It helps with the affordability factor.

I really like Venus Dance. I just love the conotation of empowering women.

I just wanted to check in and see what you ended up thinking of the "Reset". I am thinking of trying it. It was recommended to me by one of my pole instructors after she tried it. How hard was it to maintain your results? I am looking to lose a total of 15 pounds by May 1 and am struggling getting my eating under control. This was recommended to me to help me get my cravings under control since that is what is causing a large part of my eating breakdown.

I just started the laser process yesterday so I will be really curious to see how it all turns out. There was a groupon a few weeks ago for three sessions for $99 for one of the following areas: lip, chin, underarms, bikini lines. It is with a dermatologist so that was positive. Unfortunately, it is for only the bikini line and I will need him to go in a little further for me to be happy with the results. But I figure this was a good place to start!
I have been told that you don't normally lose hair the day that the lasering takes place, but I did. Not a ton, but definitely some. Is that an indicator of something? Any ideas?

I wish there were some magical words of wisdom, but what everyone has said is absolutely correct. You need to just practice pointing your feet. I would also practice doing releves and plies to condition your calves because if you start pointing from your calves only, you will get cramps there too. As a ballerina, I rarely get cramps from pointing too much, but when I do (ie. too much pointe work), I use a foot roller. I love mine and I highly recommend picking one up. I got mine at Wegman's (a grocery store) years ago for like $5. But here is one from Amazon:
Good luck!

One of my friends told me to "think about giving myself a proctology exam" when I was struggling with it. So I know I think about violating myself and BAM wrist sit is there!

I have heard a lot about the arnica. Where do you buy it??

Do you mind me asking how expensive the laser treatments are? It is something I have been thinking about but cost is prohibitive.
In the meantime, I get bikini waxes very regularly!

As an occupational therapist, I firmly believe in the power and effectiveness of massage. I use it in my treatments with clients, both young and old.
That being said, I also go to an excellent massage therapist. I wish I could go more often than once a month (which is a recent development for me). Basically, I have very large "knots" in my gluteal region that is preventing full range of movement. My upper back is basically inflexible due to all of my muscle tightness – my scapula literally sticks to my rib cage and doesn’t move. Considering I do ballet multiple times a week, you would imagine I would be fully flexible. The massage therapy has helped me gain flexibility and decrease pain throughout my body. Some insurance even covers it. It is definitely something I would look into!

One other thought I had is are you affected my seasonal changes? I find that when the weather starts getting colder, I start eating more. It really is our natural instinct to hibernate. Just another thought…

You wax at home https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif OW https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif I don’t think I could do that to myself!!
