I did the workout for the first time over the weekend. I do like how they show you the moves and then you do a routine with them. I also like the tips too. I cant wait for vol 2. There are some I cant do now, but I know I can later. I will have to see if I can find the clip but the goalie from the Washington Capitals does the bucking move as part of his warm up – IN FULL GOALIE GEAR ON THE ICE!!
Now my inner TV production nerd comes out, while I loved the way the DVD was set up, some of the editing I wasnt too crazy about. But thats just me and since I went to school to edit and things like that I notice them pretty fast. So if you need a new editor, im totally available! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif :)

I have a little bit of everything for pole. I have stuff from Bad Kitty, Lululemon, Under Armour, Danskin etc. I also wear cheer shorts as well. Im always on the hunt for something cute but offers lots of support – I have big boobs and its hard to find something that is supportive and cute without it being super pricey. I like BK for the style but I like UA for all the compression stuff they make.
At the Ms VA comp, I wore all Under Armour. I did that mostly b/c Im from MD and UA is a MD based business, why not represent them???

My wrists having been doing that a long time, long before I started pole. Do you do any stretching with them? I sit at a desk most of the day and do alot of typing, I try to roll mine out and stretch them often. It offers some relief but the clicking/popping noise doesnt go away. From what ive been told that its the fluid in your wrists that keep them mobile form bubbles and thats whats causing the popping noise.

I tried taking it and really didnt see a difference. I was also getting sick from it. Not all the time but the occasional vomit.

Memphis – you should of seen the first one. They zoomed in on a friend of mine as the voice over goes 'and shes competing against girls this size'. OMG, shes a very good friend of mine. Or when im trying to put on my heels and im having a hard time putting them on, they try to chalk it up due to my size its hard to put on the heels. What dancer hasnt had an issue putting their heels on???
The good thing is from both segments, ive gotten lots of positive feedback. I havent gotten any hate mail which is quite shocking. The hate mail has dramatically gone down the past few months.

I like doing spin from time to time as a change of pace. Studio is all static and my stage is spin/static. I like the PS pin b/c its a quick pull and its spin time. I dont know if your planning on competing but most big comps have a static and spin pole. I havent done alot on spin since I only get at home practices to do that.
-
did you also read that if your over 350lbs youget to eat for free???? If they arent encouraging enough….
-
Thanks everyone!!! Ive gotten alot of good feedback since it went to air. I can only imagine if my Americas Got Talent segment goes to air!
-
Yep, Inside Edition wanted to do a follow up story from the first one. I didnt think they were going to air it so fast! Its sweeps month in TV world so I was quite shocked they wanted to do another story.
I will get a DVD copy of both segments but right now this is the transcript of it

Is your pole warm at home before you get started? I have a stainless steel one and use brass in the studio. Brass doesnt need the prep time like chrome or ss. I usually do a few climbs and my body heat helps warm up the pole some.

XPOSE FITNESS!!! http://www.xposefitness.com There are locations in Towson and Hanover. Depending on where you are in Baltimore, one is gonna be closer than the other. I go to the Arundel Mills/Hanover location.

Bad Kitty sells the car decals on their site – I have one for my car. Looks really good!
Im thinking about making my own pole dancer luggage. I my logo and I was going to print it out on t shirt transfer paper and put it on some new luggage I was thinking about getting.
-
My husband looks at the plumbing and ventilation and I look at ceiling heights when we go out. I think its a fair trade off!
-
I will be there!! I am also performing at PoleCon as well. As soon as Ms VA gets out of the way I will be working on that performance. Song and idea are picked out as of right now.
I will be getting to LAX at midnight on Thursday (gotta love time differences, thats like 3a where I live). Im still looking for someone to room with.
Cant wait to meet all of you!

Thats one thing I still havent gotten used to doing. Im uncomfortable not only seeing myself on camera but hearing my voice. I joke and tell people that why I went to school to work behind the camera.
When I put a video in to be edited, I see it more as a project so Im not really paying attention to what im doing.
-
You know I thought I was over working myself but then comes the big question – sleep or train? I get super tired by 7p, that I have to take a nap just to make it through the rest of the night.
-
Does the splits DVD go through different types of splits or just the regular split? Ive been debating on getting the DVD's since they came out but I havent been too sure yet.

Organic – Chel is one of the admins for her fan page. She signs it like that so you know if its her posting or Alethea posting. Chel is Castleoutsider on here and You Tube.

Def have mirrors in mine, I also want it large enough where I could do creative videos with my pole stuff. Very music video like. I love doing those. Different mounts for camera angles since I like to play with those as well. A small place where I could do my sewing. And lights on the floor I can adjust.
-
I live in one as well. Im not sure how the vaulted mount would work with the ceiling but its worth a shot. Long before I got my stage pole, I rented the studios pole. Its also a tension mounted one piece pole. We put a coffee table book up there along with a wooden block and tightened it up. That bad boy wasnt going anywhere.
I now have a star stand alone and its great except I run my ceiling fan when I have it set up. But who needs a ceiling fan right?
-
congrats on the gig, I know you in good hands there!
One thing Ive always wanted to do when I became an instructor was to write down on the mirrors what we are working on in class today. You can get those crayola window markers and write on the mirrors. They come off with Windex when your done.
Words of encourgement to your students is good too. Im all about the positive encouragement when im uneasy about some moves.

I go to the gym a few times a week. My gym routine consists of:
30 min on the treadmill. I mostly walk on an incline b/c of my knees.
Free weights – mostly focusing on my upper body (I feel like I really lack in that dept)
Depending on the day, I may do 30min on the bike. I usually watch TV during this time.
Abs – I do various ab exercises and change it up so im not so bored. I will also work on putting my back against the wall and get comfortable engaging my abs so I can do it in pole
Stretch and massage chair at the gym!

i did some few sessions years ago. My skin is a prime candiate for it b/c im so pale. I noticed after a few sessions that I had patches of hair that wasnt growing back! I stopped going b/c I couldnt afford it anymore. But I do remember some little pain but the lady perfoming it on me would also put ice packs on me as well.
Theres a new one out on the market, you can buy it at Ulta. its gotten some good reviews so far. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2236986&productId=xlsImpprod4040017&navAction=push&navCount=1&subdoc=2springathometools2012

When I get the chance, I love to come down to Pole Pressure. For me driving is 30min but a pain in the butt to find parking in the city so I just take the Metro instead. Its an extra 30min but totally worth it!
