I think it sounds cool! Why the heck not! Maybe you could check out the gallery to see if you get any inspiration.

Story of my life! I am sure it has a lot to do with your hormones and the weather. Really, who wants to be in skimpy clothes this time of year? It's so stupid isn't it? I think it's mind over matter, because once you get going it's always fun. It's getting the dang motivation!! I would love to have a few cocktails or "something" to help out, but then I'd probably toss my cookies or fly off the pole. Fairy Dust! Maybe that's what we need! Seriously, you are definitely not alone and we are entitled to feel this way sometimes.

Hardware or automotive stores sell it as well if you want it quicker. At least in the States.

Goo Be Gone. It will take it right off. Make sure you clean with alcohol when you’re done.

Ok, I'm getting a little concerned because I plan on buying a Brass X-Pole is the spring. My thought process is that my Chrome is good right now, in the colder months, but the Brass would be good for the humid summer. I was going to buy TG, but I reaad here that there isn't enough difference between it and Chrome. What to do????

I hope they were at least, All-Clad or something equally as nice! My FIL gave me some cash and I will use it to buy a brass X-Pole in the spring!!

To me, time off is a must. I can go full on for small periods of time and then it's break time. The body needs to repair itself and this can actually make you stronger. Kenzie, it's good to make sure you take extra time to warm up after a break. Your body will then let you know what you can and can't do.

Hahaha!! Dang it!

Ouch, Chem! This looks interesting. I get acupressure massages and they hurt like a SOB, but they really help. I'll have to look into this.

AG, I have not been able to find Corn Husker's lotion in any stores for the life of me. Time to check the internet!

This is a newer one that has been getting a lot of attention lately.

Thanks Veena & Webbie! I am excited to check this out!

CONGRATS!! I think that taking care of yourself and finding a good outlet through pole are extremely inspiring! You are a hero!

Oh, My God!!! Hahahahaha!!!!

Natasha, what Kyrsten said and also, I have a tip. My trainer once told me to place the tip of my tongue against the back of my two front teeth during exertion. Somehow, it helps to keep your neck muscles from tensing up too much. I will say that this is a huge issue for me overall, and it does help!

Welcome to the wonderful world of pole! Callouses come with the territory and "ripping" can follow. I have attached a link to a blog by a Veena member which is extremely helpful with rips and other pole related injuries:
Good luck!

Tillykke med fødselsdagen, Klaus! (I had to use an online translator, but you are worth it!!)

I have degeneration in my neck so I get sore from poling a lot! Spin mode or not. My best advise is daily stretching. You can stretch anywhere, anytime. I stretch in the car at a red light, while watching the news, even while on the toilet (i know, TMI)! Do you have Veena's lessons? She has great stretching exercises for the neck. If you don't have the lessons, I'm sure you can do an internet search for some. I like to use a heating pad (with a thin hand towel between pad and skin) for about 15 minutes before I stretch, when I can as it loosens up the muscles. I also stretch my neck after I pole. Lasty, I usually do not put my pole on spin mode until later in my workout when my body is warm and lose. Good luck!

One of my nieces is not only Gluten intolerant, but she is also a Vegetarian! Talk about hard to feed! I know one of her favorites is quinoa. She makes it with vegetable broth, and then just adds steamed veggies. One of her favorite places to eat is Chipotle. She can get whatever ingredients she can eat, and then just asks for a bag of the corn tortilla chips when she's at the register. It's her splurge! Good luck my friend!!

PM'd you on FB….
