Just wanted to let everyone know I plan to do ome sightseeing in D.C. on friday morning-early afternoon (before traffic!). I would love some company if someone wants to come along! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Fleur

have you and Roxy figured out the sightseeing plan yet? I can’t get to DC until 3:30 or so but I would love meet up with you all. I can’t make it a late night b/c i have to work for a bit early Sat morning so it would be nice to catch up with both of you since I will be in the area anyway when I get off work.

I checked the bus routes but there arent any that get me to where you are so ladies im sorry but it doesnt shape up like im going…

Man, that sucks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

[SissyBuns]

i’m just posting again to check and see if i have a definite spot for this pole jam. i really am super excited for it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

We’ll add you to the roster!
The cost is going to be $30 per person and you can pay when you get there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Damn, I wish I could see the rash so I could give you ideas to help get rid of it. If it’s a hyperpigmentation problem from the inflammation of the allergy, it’s going to take some time. There are lightening creams that you can use but IDK if they will give you good enough results by Sunday. If the rash is still active I don’t recommend putting anything on it, especially if you have open sores and blisters. The last thing you want to do is get an infection or have another reaction.

The best bet would probably be to wrap it up. Keep it covered so you can pole.

[SissyBuns]

I love the pic, your legs look great!

You know we are having a big pole jam at Arundel Mills Xpose this weekend. A bunch of us are meeting up for the first time, it’s gonna be huge fun!

[SissyBuns]

I’m hanging in chat while I do schoolwork…well…while I pretend to do homework….

[SissyBuns]

You guys are gonna make me call in…Roxy you know I will!

I love love love Oxygen magazine. Every month there are different workouts so you never get bored. Even on their site there are lots of really good training tidbits.

Oxygen Training

I am also an exercise TV junkie. I have free exercise on demand on my cable and they change up the videos just about every month. You can also download a ton of videos from their site for $2.99. Just found one that I used to like but they got rid of it on the air (it was called KBC-kickbox, booty, core and in 20 minutes I was ready to melt into a heap on the floor). Ooooo….just found my other favorite! Incredible Abs.

I know these are older but something like turbo jam or tae bo will help you build endurance along with tone. Each of those have 20 minute workouts that even the busiest person can fit into their day.

I love Oxygen magazine! I have a subscription! I wanted to do a figure competition once upon a time a go…it’s so hard to get that lean though. Sheesh!

[SissyBuns]

Wait a sec….I joined team LuLu and we’re competing against eachother. LOL!!!!!

I’ll still support you though. I’ll wear your T-shirt until it’s my turn then put it back on when I’m done https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

[SissyBuns]

I better hurry up and get my ticket… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

[SissyBuns]

I had that problem when I first got mine and I just needed to tighten up the screws that you adjust to put the pole on spin. Once I tightened those it was good to go. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[SissyBuns]

I wish I could escprt you guys around and show you the sites but I’ll be working that day and I can’t do it anyway because it’s too much walking. unless I rented one of those motorized little scooters!

[SissyBuns]

Absolutely gorgeous SissyBuns!!! I was going to take a break from the pole today because of the blizzard and cold weather…..But, now that I watched that, I’m on my way out to the garage!!!

if I can inspire just one person to get on the pole, even in freezing cold blizzard weather….my work here is done https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

[SissyBuns]

Good luck and I can’t wait to see pic https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif s!

[SissyBuns]

OMG I’ve been a big caterpillar failure for ever! I’m going to try this ‘magic" finger tonight!

[SissyBuns]

I know, it’s crazy. I always prepare myself to lose a move right after I get it. I’m afraid to see if my split grip Aysha is still there…I’m sure it’s gone. I’d rather not know. LOL

[SissyBuns]

We’re all dying. There’s just no information.

[SissyBuns]

Thanks guys! I hope to put this into practise if I have time to do my December challenge before I go away on holiday!

I never thought I would refer anyone to this video for anything since it’s basically me humping the pole for 4 minutes but…in the newest video I posted I do a lot of floor work and you can see one of the most basic ways I stand up in heels, it’s at 1:30-ish and it’s super easy! Using the pole for balance, Just put one foot on the floor and stand up LOL. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

If you’re offended by butt cheeks and floor humping don’t watch! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I’m a big wierdo man. I’m learning things all out of order.

I can do a straight edge, aysha (both split grip) and reverse aysha but I can NOT caterpillar to save my life!
I don’t know what it is.I try to push up and then I freeze LOL. I’ve been working on this move since I started inverting months ago and just can’t get it LOL. WTH!

I’m with you on this one SissyBuns. I can do all the split grip stuff, but ask me to do a forearm or elbow grip or the caterpillar climb and I’m screwed. I found the split grip easier because you don’t have to do the caterpillar malarky to get into it like you seem to have to do with the other grips, you can just go into it from an inverted crucifix leg hold type thing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Mind you, it did take me a good few months (not constantly) of practice to get the split grip and I now find it easier to go into the jack-knife then I can move from there into ayesha and then straight edge. Just keep trying and you will find the one which suits you best eventually. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I need to start working on the other grips. I’m very comfortable with split grip and I think it’s exactly because of the reason you put. Since I can’t caterpillar I’m not able to do the other grips, so split grip is the only option that makes sense LOL.

I have the ondemand, ive been using that to try new things. Ive got a yoga, pilates, ballet training and Yoga Booty Ballet DVD’s. Thats how I disovered the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have thier own workout video. (eeewwww, im a Redskins fan, but im willing to do thier work outs!)

Ive got no problem working out at home but due to the space of our home, I have to wait until the kids go to bed. Im also creeped out when my husband watches me workout. So I either make him get out of the house or go in the other room.

I also thought about heading to the local indoor pool and swimming laps for a bit. I lost alot of weight when I was swimming.

Hey, hey! No Cowboy bashing aloud! That’s my team!

[SissyBuns]

Sissy- I think it’s just ‘Franchesca’- but there are no tags, so it may be difficult to locate https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

I dont have youtube at work, either. I have to do the same thing, lol!

LOL, it’s such a pain in the ass!

I found a proxy that I can use sometimes but it moves slow and I can’t sign into my account when I use it either https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

[SissyBuns]

Yeah its different for everyone! I’m a pretty cautious person and do not come from a fitness (at all) background so I usually do one move over and over and over to get confident before moving on to another. but then after mastering these moves, i find it easier to do similar ones. I had my gemini down for years but could never ‘figure out’ the scorpio until i started on SV. Sissy is absolutely right, work those hips and armpits into it! If you bruise, you are on your way. After having gotten the two moves down perfect and confidently with strong contact points i was able to switch between the two mid pole so easily i surprised myself!

You’re so right about the bruise. I was working on my gemini all the time and I would always check for the bruise on the hip and I never got it. Now I’m able to get it everytime and what do ya know…got myself a nice little hip bruise to show for it. Woohoo! LOL

[SissyBuns]

LOL i just saw the new posts about this after i posted.. why does this always happen to me? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

What Louisax said- typically, the cover should be longer than the part of the adjuster rod that sticks out, which means that the cover is also covering a part of your actual pole. If you have so much adjuster sticking out that it wouldn’t make a difference if you took it off, then you might want to buy another extension. Somewhere in the Xpole pamphlet it tells you how much of it should be sticking out.. the less the better, & the more stable your pole will be. I don’t think it’s that dangerous or anything, but I ended up getting an extension because of this, and now my pole goes practically all the way up, with only like less than an inch of adjuster sticking out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

Sissy.. if it’s covering 5 inches of the adjuster rod, how much of your actual pole is it covering?

Not very much.
