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!!

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!

You read my mind Roxy. I’ve been looking at the schedule’s for the local studios that are within 50 minutes of Pittsburgh and 2 of them are open on November 28th (Saturday) for open pole. Let me know what dates/times work and I’ll see what I can find for us.
Looking forward to this!!!!
Saturday would be great Jeng!!! Just let me know when and where…and I’m so there!!!! I’m so excited!!
