I’m so happy for you! This has been a long time in the coming; every time I watch one of your videos I always think about how much you need your own pole. It’s nice that you can use the studio’s so often, but it’s just not the same as having your own in your living room. It’s like borrowing someone else’s kid for a while and pretending its yours. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
exactly!!!! I cant tell you how much money ive dropped being at the studio.
Sadly, Dh didnt get his bonus. I almost started crying https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif . I stopped b/c I felt like I was being selfish when I did that. I just pray it comes!

I dont do much weights when im at the gym. I do maybe 30lbs max on them. I do alot of leg exercises (that Ill increase the weights in the 100’s) when im at the gym. My gym routine is:
12min on bike
30-20-10 push ups with the bench. I do 30 reg push ups against the bench and then do 30 dips using the bench. And repeat for 20 and 10. I get a good bicep/tricep workout.
Lunges – I do about 2-4 laps and use real light weight for my hands. Every time I stand I lift my arms up and back down.
Rotator Cuff – do a 15-10-5 rep for this. I also increase the weight with the lesser rep.
12min on arc trainer
Wrist strength – I use a 5lb and 7.5lb weight. With the 7.5 I hold it with my palm facing up and arm on the bench. I lift up the weight in the 30-20-10 routine. I do the other hand like that, then I use the 5lb and hold it palm down towards the floor and lift up the weight. This will help with grip strength. If you notice baseball players, all thier power when the swing and hit is in the forearm not in the wrist.
12 min on the ellpictal
Inner/Outer thigh workout – I use the machines and do a 30-20-10 routine.
Abs – I do the 30-20-10 routine and I do reg crunches, bicycles, leg lift and side (for obliques)
10-20min of stretching – this also includes oversplit stretching as well.Im in the gym for about 90min to 2hrs depending how I feel that day.

You sound just like me (on the hubby issue). Which is why I take class and go to the gym. I just get totally wierded out when he watches me work out. its just creepy IMO. He also has a degree in exercise science and a former personal trainer so im always fearing hes gonna end up telling me do more than I feel like doing. I just dont think he needs to be watching me to crunches when hes washing the dishes KWIM?
Do you spot when you spin? I try to spot as much as I can when I spin. But if your dizzy after a spin, do some hip circles or something similar until you can get back to normal.

That is my fear, my parents and IL’s would of done the same thing.
put that bad boy on ebay but warn the buyer. Someone could use it to add extra support in thier home! LOL

How thrilling! I’m so happy to hear you get your pole. You could pick a great song and record a celebration video when you get it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

http://www.Poletopia.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Unique items that embrace the spirit of pole!a friend of mine and I were talking about what song to use for the celebration video. We were thinking ‘reunited’ or ‘so happy together" ( i think thats the title – the one that goes ‘you and me so happy together’)

Have you tried heating the plastic with a blow dryer?
that and wearing thick socks to stretch out the plastic. Ive done that, I would put mine in front of the space heater to get warm and put them on until they cooled down. And repeat a few times.
-
try some upper body exercises – push ups are perfect! I couldnt do alot of moves due to not having alot of upper body strength to pull up myself. I do push ups every morning and its been perfect for me!

I just posted about my little secret about CAR. I have a hard time having a good grip underneath me when I CAR. I noticed last night if I can get my top part of my foot on there for extra support – im good to go.

I have the same problem and I thought it was due to my 430a wake up time (I have to be in the office at 6a). On my commute home (I leave at 3p), im tired. Sometimes its bad enough where ive nodded off at a stop sign (dont worry, I put the e-brake on when im at a light). Its hit or miss if I can nap in the afternoon, but if I sit down to relax I end up falling asleep on the couch. I used to tan for a bit but it wasnt doing much for me, id get pink but no tan. I will find some b12 and vitamin d suppliments and give those a try.

congrats!! yaaaaay on a pole.
btw i think if you get a 50mm, xpole will sell you all the parts you need (minus the base and dome) to convert it to a 45mm later on…. or vice versa!
You know I didnt even think about that! *adds conversion kit to Birthday list*
Finally!! That was looong overdue, lol. Christmas has never been merrier, I imagine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
But seriously, congratulations!!! I’m so excited for you!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
you got that right! This christmas is coming together so well! The only thing I worry about is my MIL is buying me a pair of heels. That in itself makes me nervous! LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif All I asked for was pole related stuff, just hoping my mom remembered and got me a gift card to Bad Kitty. -
I know im totally getting an xpole. Im thinking chrome. Im babied by brass at the studio but if I want to be competition material I need to branch out in my finnishes. Im still torn of going 50 or 45. I think the studio ones are 50’s (they were custom made for the studio), but I want to try 45 too. Why picking a pole is just as bad as picking shoes!

Anjil, im a frequent visitor of Fantasies (when I have $). I used to know one of the dancers and a guy I went to HS with used to work the door so I always got in free. The one girl Diamond (real name Shannon) has been there forever, as long as ive been going which is a few years. Mary Kate was one of my faves b/c she did dance and do a few tricks (shes the one that would perform with pointe shoes). Also one of the instructors from Xpose – Owings Mills dances there from time to time for extra $.
I have to share this story from the last time I went. DH and I parked the car and we glanced over and so the car that was all types of beat up. I mean the front end was being held up by bungees! Anywho I looked further and saw a DVD player going – it was a Tinkerbell movie! OMG a kid is in that car!! I was trying to figure out which girl it was.
I did notice some curvy gals there more last time I was there. I would love to start my Queen bar, I think it would be awesome!

I say, just have fun. Eye contact is important too! Youll know which guys are liking what your doing, you will see it on thier face. Ive danced on stage twice, kept my clothes on and took home some cash! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Besides Anjil, youve got a rockin body, you got this!
Which place did you audition for? I went to Fantasies last week with my husband and it was DEAD on a Saturday night!
Each club has thier different thing, and ive seen some curvier girls get down. I keep telling my husband we should open a club called Queen (or something like that) and have curvy girls dance. Talking to a few guy friends they would go and check it out.

I met her at pole convention – shes a sweetheart! I got her calendar of my computer at home, my daughter gets a kick out of what pose is next in the calendar. Im thinking of ordering her pole xmas cards this year too.

just based on the photos, it looks just as sturdy as the original. I like that feature. I swayed alot on the ps ssa, it was quite weird to get used to.
