So I got on the non-smoking train and got Chantix. I am really disappointed. major sad face. It is now day 7 and I have seen no change in my cravings at all.
AWW…It hasn’t changed the way it tastes or smells to you??? OMG after two days I couldn’t stand the smell and the taste made me sick to my stomach! But then again I am very sensitive to medication so maybe that is why it hit me so fast! Good luck and if you need to chat let me know….I haven’t smoked in 13 days and haven’t really had a single craving…now I think about it A LOT but I don’t have any cravings and I know I won’t give in bc it will just taste horrible!
I stopped a week and a half ago without anything. ………..I found when I took it last time to try and stop that it made me feel ill if I smoked whilst taking it, but the side effects were worse than the benefit of stopping smoking for me which is why I am going down the willpower route this time.
YAY! Loopielou!!! Fantastic!! I had issues to with some side effects (crazy assssssssss nightmares) when the dosage got up to 2- 1mg pills a day…but since I had such good results at the lower dosage, I cut it down to just 1-1mg pill a day…and seem to be fine and the nightmares have stopped thank God! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

seems cool, but you would have to fill the base with either sand or water everytime you use it…personally I couldn’t imagine taking it to a venue and asking where their hose connection is…lmao

haha…hubby and I went to an upscale mens club a few weeks ago that had poles but they were not utilized and the girls did dance lazy….there were about 40 girls working that night and I only saw one do a fireman spin and chopper. I wanted to get on stage…lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

You have three main contact points for grip in the gemini 1. the knee 2. your side between your hip bone and bottom rib and 3. arm pit.
Once your knee is hooked look to see where that foot is pointing…to the ceiling? or to the floor? Think of trying to point it towards the floor and it naturally adapt to the right position. Of course this will hurt a bit until you’ve conditioned your skin…but also once you get a good grip with all three contact points then you don’t have to rely so much on just your knee.
Good luck and keep us posted.

FYI X-pole will be coming out with a non-celebrity endorsed version of the sports-pole…..meaning they are going to be adding the sports pole to their regular inventory….along with the Kendra Sports Pole, reg x-pole and stage… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

And now back to the real topic…Marlo!!!!
She is phenomenol…think I already said that…just felt like it needed to be said AGAIN! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
I was sure she was gonna win too…but hmmmmm! Anyways, she is phenomenol and I would love to see more from her https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

That is so cool that she responded!!!
And now it makes sense when I do a good bit of #1 my straddle is much lower….was a little less than 6" away from being flat the other night. I’m starting to have dreams where I feel myself lying flat….ummmm can’t wait!!

Hi Melly!!! I’m from Rock HIll!! Karol is a fantastic teacher isn’t she!!! We’ve taked about having a little pole jam at a friends studio sometime soon…you should so join us!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
good for you!!! I have foudn that those who have the biggest issue with me poling are those who are insecure with not only their physical appearance but also with their emotional stability and sexuality!!
You rock!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

would call them….they will probably replace it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Currently X-pole does not offer vaulted ceiling adapters…but I spoke with them a few weeks ago and the vaulted ceiling adapter is in the works….without an adapter I have no suggestions as how to rig it…I’m sure if there’s a will there’s a way!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

okay so I tend to be a "forward bender" and I have the bad habit of slouching too! If I think about pushing my shoulders back and down I still tend to go forward like you…instead I think of pushing the boobies out! I know it’s pretty much the exact same idea but this helps me so much more and my shoulders don’t go up! Of course working on core strength does naturally help improve posture! I would say that it’s natural for your shoulders to rise some when climbin because you are engaging those muscles…I think it would look very robotic if they didn’t move a little! Good luck and of course a vid always helps! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Yes you do pucsh with your arms too!! I found the easiest way of doing this was to think about putting your butt on the ceiling…once I visualzied that I had it nailed down!!
Good luck!! and hope you share a vid with us!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Welcome Love!!

Veena’s video is great and very helpful! You will NOT get a split in a week or two…some people it takes years! There are a lot of good books and DVD’s out there..currently my favorite book is the Genius of Flexibility (there is another thread geared towards it)! Good luck!
-
Hi everyone. I was wondering, if this book or dvd genius of flexibility, will his method/principals or theory work with any stretching routine. I have been doing stacy nemours secret to splits and flexibility dvd and love it. In 2 1/2 months, I went from 19 inches to 14 inches in my side splits and really improved my flexibility. I really like her sequence of stretches. My only complain is that she doesn’t hold the stretch long enough on some stretches. So, will this book complement my current routine or do cooleys book do his own stretches/routine? Thanks,JONI
Hey Joni! I have Stacey’s dvd too and in theory you could use the method from Genius of Flexiblity with her stretches! But honestly, I don’t want to do hers anymore because of the huge amount of progression i’ve seen with using Genius! Using his technique I was able to lie flat (belly on ground) in a straddle and the other night I was only about 5 inches from being all the way flat in a straddle!! I haven’t done that since I was like 10! I found that I have gotten further with my flexibility using a hand ful of Tom’s stretches vs a ton of Stacey’s….does that make sense! You get more buck for the bang! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

Ok so I really can’t believe this myself but I’ve only been on Chantix now for 5 1/2 days….and I haven’t smoked in over a day and a half!!!! It’s amazingly easy and my level of self efficacy is throuh the roof!! I have a ton of energy and motivation!! I thought it would be so much harder than this…I think maybe it’s been easy because I was really ready!!
I’m already thinking of ideas for my "goodbye Marlboro’s dance"!!!! Keep an eye out for it this week!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
oh and the best part…I can smell my freshly shampoo’d hair again!! I love the way Pantene smells!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I’ve seen Karol do this move a lot…and she showed me how to do it…still not as fab as hers yet!!! It’s very akward at first! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
