    January 6, 2011 at 10:54 am in reply to: How long do you workout for?

    When I was going to a studio I poled usually 1.5 hours there and maybe (and that is a HUGE maybe) on other session a week at home for maybe 30 minutes.  I know for me it is so much better if i am with other people…I tend to give up too easily when I am alone.  Last night was a good example….I intended to pole but once I hit it I was having issues with grip.  The things I wanted to work on required me to have a good grip, so I basically just worked on pretty-ing up some moves and then did my stretches for the splits.  All in all with warm up and stretching I worked out 45 minutes.

     

    Outside of pole I try to do zumba at least 3 times a week.  If I get to pole once a week I am donig good.

    I would strongly suggest that you get in touch with either David Owen (StellarMotion) or Stephanie Vera.

    Their main website has no information on how to contact them with the exception of an email address.  They do offer a 12 month warranty on the pole though, which to me seems like a lengthy time frame.

     

    If you have questions then e-mail the seller.  they should be willing to answer everything for you.

    I did find them on craigslist and then was able to find:

     

    "They are a discontinued item from Frontgate. I have been trying to search them. The item was their "umbrella bench sofa". The guy bought a few sets but has not needed them. They were marked $100, he said he got them for less than that and had them up on craigslist for half that price. They are 3" thick and the covers zip off and can be thrown in the wash."

     

    I know  a couple of girls had a Frontgate pretty close to them and went and bought them at the store but I think they are only in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.

    The first one did not since it took "]Official" into the link address.

     

    Old habits are going to be hard to break.

    Not sure how long you have been on the site, but there has been talk about mats on a few occasions.  If you search for crash mats you will get all sorts of ideas.

    Invest in some arnica gel and apply right after your session.  It really is a godsend!  I have a nasty pole burn right now that should be black and blue but isn't because of arnica!

    Just an update…I started this on Saturday and last night was the farthest I had ever gotten into the splits in my life.  I dream of the day that my cooch touches the floor!!   https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

     

     

     

    (seriously…I really do dream that I can hit the splits and the cold floor always surprises me)

    Pole Dancing Shop has them for $149 plus $35 shipping but they are 4".  I have not seen 5" thick mats, usually they are 2" or 4".

    Costume design, makeup and stage performance are 3 things I think are vital for any good performance.  Look at how Jenyne changes her look with every routine.  She also has a way of looking into the audience and making you feel that she is dancing just for you.  Feklix has that same eye contact.

     

    Not only learning how to do the moves, but where specifically to start them to get the correct angle for the audience.

     

    Covering up mistakes.

    Charley,  I assume "sets" is "reps" in this case.

    We don't have quoting functionality yet, I have to add it back in but for now you could cut and paste the quote and wrap it in normal quotes.

     

     

    Just wondering if this works…..

    What about quoting?

    Thought that you used to be able to edit and also quote other's posts.  I have the bad habit of reading something after the fact and realizing that I left out a thought or totally left words out of a post.  I thought that functionality was there previously.

    As for the red line….chrome does not have this issue with any other site.  It will red line it but I do not have options to change it, only cut and paste.  I routinely mess up th's (teh, otehr, etc) and it is caught with options elsewhere, and also on the old version.

    It explains in the beginning pages that the splits they are trying to achieve are what is considered jazz splits, which is the only kind you can really do while wearing heels.  It is with the back leg to the side.

     

    Momma…the karate stance is basically this:

    Pink…how are you holding you bottom hand?  Your thumb should be facing up and you should be sitting on it.
