Ps…I meant just tell the instructor you do not need help or something like that.
-
The instructor should ask you first if you would like help…"permission to make contact with you" and if she "cant get" it that you are uncomfortable she sucks! "If in doubt, go without" Just tell the instructor that you dont want any help on that stretch. And tell her that you need a modification of that "ab" exercise" because it doesn't feel right in your back. (she/he should have noticed that something was off and asked you)
It's sad to see that someone has to be so cautious when taking a fitness class with a supposed trained professional. The instructor doesnt have to know everything….but I will tell you this…you can see it on a persons face and there body language when things arnt flowing. I teach my students to respect their body and get to know it. It's the "little funny feelings" or "wow, that DIDNT feel right" you always get your warnings before an injury occurs. And it is not a "pain" signal.
for you to even mention this is telling me that you are very close to injury if you are feeling uncomfortable with what this is instructor is doing.
All my students know that the only time I get "upset" with them is when they don't tell me how they feel. Everyone has an off/weak day. All my clients are very used to someone in the class doing some type of modification of an exercise..no one feels like the "loser" in class cause they are doing something a little different..because at some point everyone has a modification. I always Start my class with how is everyones bodies today…Usually it takes a few minutes for everyone to "confess" how they are feeling…Often I will see something off and aks…"hey Sarah…what's going with your shoulder" or I just quietly going over them to and make a little adjustment. It depends on their personality.

I have the Clarisonic… love it. i use my own cleanser and the blue sensitive skin brush. It's your gorgeous face…Dont cheap out on it. You are worth it. If you get the regular clarisonic you can also get the body brush head…Amazing..skin will be like silk. It helps take all the extra skin so that your products will absorb better. ..so it saves you money because you use less product.
I do not use the clarisonic every day on my face, I break out a little if I use it too hard and too long.

Work the muscles in your hips to help support your SI joint better..Ex..the side leg series in Pilates..Which means lye on your side, hips stacked, and do small leg lifts, keeping pelvis neutral, and body stacked( dont make a banana shape on the floor) do leg circles and also lift your lower leg up to the top leg to work the small, intrinsic inner thigh muscles. (dont let your knee rotate up towards the ceiling either)
@ – make sure when you are doing your glute exerscises that you are staying absolutely neautral in your pelvis…which means…if you tuck your pelvis under, or round your back at all…you are letting the hamstrings do most of the work and that will make your SI joint worse. It's very easy to do glute exerscises wrong, engage your pelvic floor and transverse too. Kegal…kegal…kegal

oops my bad…the video is Cat going from an inside leg hang into aysha….not reverse aysha. Didnt realize there was a difference.
-
on the cat gennero video…there is one at 5 minutes in..and then she does another version 10 minutes in
-
here is the link on you tube. It's ten minutes long, so I dont remeber exactly where it is.

If the link doesnt work…just put in Cat Gennero in you tube.
@amy…thanks. No wonder it feels a little wrong.. Not a lot of core engagement. i have to say my core is my strongest part, so moves that dont use it that much dont feel right.
-
@amy…from a forearm grip ayesha how close should your chest be to the pole…I cant seem to get rounded enough in my upper body so that my pelvis stays more neutral than imprinted. i feel like I need to master the forarm first, before advancing into the elbow grip, then TG.
@jeaninemarie….I have a video of Cat Gennero ….I'll try to find the link. It's great…very slow..can see all the hand placements and stuff..

"Bingo wings" are the part of the arm that waves back at you when you do the "float wave" to people.. Love then term Bingo wings..Is it all right if I borrow that term?
@veena….Very welcome. and I truely mean it.
-
I do love the clarisonic. Worth every penny.
-
I think if you just look at Veena you would realize that Poling wont make you look bulking or manly. "hey Veena..I think YOU are a professional Pole Artist. Definetly a leader in this industry."
Lats and serratus injuries from improper form on lifts and spins. Dont rush it. Did we mention the bruising? Now my husband says I just look like a cheetah with spots…not like I got beat up by the mob with a bag of oranges.
-
Why is saying "made in China" negative? Im not a metal worker, but I'm pretty sure Chine and the US have differences in their manufacturing process. Dont cheap out when it come's to falling on your head..buy the product that matches the other product. All companies have slight differences in the products that they sell. I doubt any company would say that their product will work with another…just for liability sake.

For us mature gals…TNS recovery serum (two chamber) by skin medica. It's expsensive. It's worth it. "Doir" show mascara. "La Prairie" powder finish foundation. "Fania" white oak cleanser.
-

-
No worries..I TOTALLY understand. ditto on the talk. ps..going up to see Cat from Poleates for some training so this weekend I think i will be a big pile of mush and limited of the brain cell funtion. i'm still cracken up on the "P" thing. i'm going to ask my husband to see if he knew that…or should I keep him in the dark about that. So If it is not a musclehow does it do "that" ….wait…nver mind dont an anwer. TMI
-
sorry Paulette:) had to get a little giggle in:D
-

I love the book "anatomy of movement" and the anatomy coloring book that Veena mentioned. What Ilove about the "AofM" book is that you have pictures of people and the actions of the muscle and movement, origan and insertion..stuf like that. What I love about the ACB is that you will really know the size and shape and get a real sense of the origans and insertion again, (it also has the "planes" in the front of the book…Know that for sure Oh…the flash cards are awesome too.
If you can visualize the body as first a skeleton, then with the muscles, then you can "see" how they work and the WAY they work. If you know the planes of the body then it will be easier to say know that it is "medial aspect" or "anterior" or whatever. It gives you a way to break it down. Like when you are standing and you bend your knee back and pull your heel towards your bum…that's hip extension, knee flexion, and planter flexion at the ankle joint.
I also you to slowly walk and talk myself through the movement…like this move I would say when I run my back leg in extending at the hip…touch the front of my hip…I am using my hamstrings to flex my knee as I bend it…and touch the back of the leg..find the bony landmarks for the origan and insertion adn say what type of contraction it was. In the hip flexor it is an eccentric…in the hamstring it is concentric..Like that…
This way you are using all your senses to get it into your"head" and since you are very kinectic it will help. Make a unny story up too.
Like the rotator cuff is called the "SITS" muscle..Know it in your sleep.
I also used to right the name of what I was learning about 100-200 times at least….so I had the spelling down. often the name has some great tools to figure out what and where it is.
I found that my Nursing A and P didnt really help with my fitness stuff, I am also a Massage Therapist…(not active) but that was different anatomy too.
When you do the coloring book…go through the ace and just pick the muscles they want you to know…otherwise it will take you a lifetime to get through that book. The flash cards too…just pick what Ace wants you to know.
If you get a chance take a fitness related A and P course. I went through the USCD extentiosn program for Personal Trainers and it helped a lot witht the fitness stuff.
-
Only two more years to go for me..Yeah!
-
maybe in the next couple of months. I give you a heads up.

@Ophidia- I will have visit you when I'm visiting my family in idaho.

It shows in everything you do.

I've always heard that once you really start to "piss' some people off then you've hit the big time. Successful businesses are never loved by everyone. Some people just cannot be happy for other peoples success and good fortune. I can tell that you and your husband have put in a tremendous amount of work into this site and business. I can see that you have your heart and soul into it and that's why I LOVE it. I even love it more knowing that your husband is a part of it too.
I'm newer to the pole world and my husband stood by me when I decided to put us into debt over added it to my Pilates studio and going through the whole certification thing and such. I've even drug him to some pole competitions. I didn't start doing this until about 42 years old…so it was a risk that I might not even be able to DO IT. So I'm not super fab yet, but I love what this has done for the women I have met. ( Also, some of the men. IE Pole Dan Fan, but I havent met him yet)
Veena and Webbie….dont stop what you are doing!

How about everyone saying how awessome XPole, PS, and LM are. I love my PS because it is so much more comfortable for me, and I love how it goes all the way up to the ceiling. I love my LM because it is so easy to set up and when I dont stick very well it's a life saver. And I love my Xpole, because it is so easy customize to fit my needs if I travel with it. (Sorry…dont know about any other pole makers:(….)
