Oh I have taken time off pole and am still happy Organic Angel, I just think that pole has brought me to a point of hapiness with my body rather than a state of neutral. 🙂
I am glad you love your body too, I wish I spoke to more people who loved it rather than hearing about people hating it..

SilverRae, you are suitable for a relationship. Both my boyfriend and I have sports as our passions and we both work full time and different hours. My boyfriend supports me in my pole and I him in his MMA. We don’t spend loads of time together but make sure the time we do spend together is just for us!
Relationships require work to make them work but they shouldn’t be hard work! Also, they should support you in something that makes you healthy and happy!
If you love them and pole you will want to share time between the two. If all you want to do is spend time on your pole then he/she probably isn’t the right person…IMO.
Life is too short to be with someone who does not support you in something that will keep you healthy and make you happy! -
I read a few of these posts not all so I am making a sweeping statement. It sounds like these are not men but boys, little boys throwing a tantrum.
When little boys throw tantrums , apparently good parenting is to ignore the bad behaviour and praise the good. Ignore them, stop pandering to their tantrums and they should get bored and shut the hell up! If not get rid…. Lol!!
Insecure babies!!!!
Rant!! -
Agreed!!

Also shall we plan tea this time for afterwards? Is there a good place to eat nearby? (Assuming we are going same place)
-
Yeah good for Vik too. Same place? X

30th is good for me, I’ll check with Vik x

So, next jam? June? Right now I am free every weekend in June. Lets start throwing some dates around folks!

Xpert! You will want the option eventually!

It was awesome!!! Thanks to everyone for coming, pole sessions for the use of their studio and Olivia for her excellent hosting xx

Well I just recently got my regular grip handspring so improving that would be good and any progression from an elbow grip Ayesha or straight edge would be great. Anything really 🙂 my had splits need to be flatter, my Allegra needs improving… The list is endless lol!

Looking forward to seeing you girls xx

With my instructor a 1 hour private 1-2-1 is £20, with a more advanced instructor I think it’s £25. I’m about to do a workshop with Sarah Scott and that’s £38 inc room hire in a group class.
It seems a lot more expensive to pole in the US! -

I don’t know what a dangerous Brian is Chem? Can’t find it in lessons.
Bow and arrow is a great idea though!!! Thanks 🙂 -
Lyme, I had no problems when I fear set up my Xpole but when I moved into fellas and put up there I have had exactly the same issue. When on spiny it ‘catches’ or ‘springs’ back when you spin it. I found that the ceiling wasn’t quite level and put a piece of wood underneath it to level it out an that helped but still not smooth like it used to be 🙁

My fella is a sport science teacher, degree and currently studying for MSc. he says….
Protein shakes:
The only Negative – smell coming from your bum (I agree :-/ )
It’s not the supplement that makes your muscle get bigger its the training
Supplement + training = muscle increase.
Supplement + no training = sloppy poo!
The type of training is what matters, if you’re doing lots of weight training ie barbell curls and bench press your muscles will get bigger. If you’re doing strength or muscular endurance movements ie pole, you’re muscles will get slightly bigger but mostly harder and denser. Meaning you’ll end up looking more like Jessica Ennis than the Incredible Hulk!
In terms of protein: a supplement reacts the same way in your body as food but with a pro shake timing is vital, as its main aim is to aid recovery, all the current peer reviewed research states you should take 20-25g with water immediately after exercise, at least within 30 min if you can’t have it immediately. The rest of your protein should come from whole foods- chicken, meat, fish, dairy. But, if you’re struggling then taking 20g of pro powder mixed with skimmed or semi skimmed milk at least 2 hours between meals will help you get in your protein needs. But don’t have it with milk directly after training as this interferes with absorption rates.
As a final note, for your type of training (pole 4/5 times per week) you should aim to consume 1.3g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (food mainly, protein shakes after training). Studies have shown that anymore than 30g in a 90min period provides no further advantages.
Protein will not make you fat, as it cannot turn to fat, only too much carbs and fat will make you fat!
Whey isolate is the best 🙂 don’t pay more than £15 per kg, it’s no better.Hope that helps!

Posey it’s the same info as on here don’t worry x

I vowed to start this as soon as my pole room was ready, it is ready, the pole was up on Sunday night and I started the 30 days today….Day 1 DONE. I have to say I LOVE it, I thought I would be bored, I was not, it is a great start to structure my pole sessions, I can do all the videos and then anything else I want afterwards. I'm going to endeavour to do it every day, realistically I'll probably end up doing it 3 times a week, but you never know, it might be the 'pill' I need to get me doing daily exercise…
THANKS VEENA https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Kate92, yes it is important to learn on both sides. I do not want to perform or compete but I do want to be a good, strong and fluid poler and to achieve thy you need to train both sides- exactly the reason I am going back to basics. I have trained both sides for strength- pull ups, inverts etc but not for tricks and spins and it shows in my dances… Start now 🙂
Thanks to everyone for their stories, they really do motivate me x -
Raven, you response is exactly how I feel those around me are progressing in strength and after 4 months of only 1 pole session a week when I used to do 3 my strength is fading quickly. That is what has made me think about this, if my strength isn’t there to progress my Ayesha and nail my handspring everytime then I need to look at other stuff, it’s the perfect time to progress something else.
I have seen you perform and you are an amazing poler so knowing you recommend this has motivated me so much more- thanks 🙂
Hopefully I’ll be pirouetting for fun and the pole jam in April! X
