One arm touch – one count. Left =1, right = 2

Hello!
I recommend Veena’s lesson sub on here – much, much better value and much more detailed than any DVD. Plus a lovely supportive community who will help you if you post questions and vids. You can pay monthly or yearly and there is a free 3 day trial to explore site content.Pole wise, the basic x pole sport is perfect for beginners, or the Lil Mynx if you are not going to be moving home (x pole is adjustable to 9 feet but Lil Mynx is cut to size).
I would NOT buy a cheap pole; potential for expensive injury and damage to home makes cheap a false economy. Look on Craig’s list for used and ask forum advice here before purchase to be sure you’re buying the real deal.
Enjoy your pole journey!

Am back on track with abs challenge, treating the 30 days as more of a six week deal as there are days when I’m training hard at studio(s) and going home and doing yet more training just makes no sense when I’m supposed to be recovering from over-use injuries. So I will be done by Halloween.
Well done everyone! We are getting strong and we are building skills to be better polers!

The stuff I’ve put up is stuff I’ve already posted here. I’m keeping my account strictly pole/chair/aerial/dance stuff. -
…oops
Enjoy your pole! -
Mine was too, it’s factory coating to protect during shipping. It’s protective so a little remaining is no bad thing.
I wiped the excess off with kitchen towels.The outside chrome pole I cleaned with hot water and dish detergent, once I’d set it up (so water couldn’t get inside and avoiding the joints/holes) then I used a microfibre cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol and really cleaned it hard. It took a few weeks to get all the factory coating off. And I still clean every session with rubbing alcohol and make sure pole is warm or it’s slippy.
Enjoy your p

I’ve caught up to day 15 🙂 well done everyone! We are getting stronger!
-
I looked at that and thought hmmm: I could do up to day 8 and then argh no way Jose. And I’m reasonably flexy.
Kudos to everyone doing it! It’s bad ass! -
What have you come up with so far? What’s the neighbourhood like?
And who is your target audience? People looking for something a bit edgy, gym goers, dancers, fitness enthusiasts, men and women, women only?….
Off the top of my head from your description I thought ‘Flying Fitness’ or ‘Take Flight Fitness’ but without more to go on it’s bit hard… -
A very pretty woman 😉

I don’t think you mentioned what it’s made of? The brand new chrome x-perts are 299.00USD from xpole us.

I am now on day 13, I can’t decide whether to start again or keep going.
I think I will start again with the abs cos my husband wants to join in and I have missed 3 days now.
Probably going to keep going with take off, but at this rate I will probably complete it at the end of the month with all today’s (re) starters lol. In my defence, I’ve been going to studio 4-5x week plus free styling and trying to fit in rest days and it hasn’t quite worked. Don’t want to get over training injuries again so would rather proceed slowly if my body starts complaining and creaking.Well done everyone who’s doing it wherever/whatever you’re up to!
-
Sounds like you’ll be fine.
🙂 -
Hmmm, if you’ve not waxed before I personally wouldn’t risk it just before a comp. You can get irritated goosebumps and red over sensitive skin and I’d be very worried about grip as well as aesthetics – have you got enough time to do a test? Not saying you’d have problems but if you did it could be a bit nightmarish.
-
Whatever day you’re on, you’re all marvellous! I have lost track as been moving stuff round to allow recovery time with classes and training but I’m pretty much up to day 12. With some bits taken out and some bits put in and freestyles sneaking in when I should be doing Abs x 30. Never mind, let’s roll. Onwards!
Cazzz you should get a special prize for never missing a day! And well done on showcase thing!
-
Yay think am more or less back on track. Day 9 done, day 10 tomorrow.

Stop! In the name of love!
You could wave a red card and blow a whistle ha ha. -
The Fighter featuring Ryan Tedder, Gym Class Heroes – youtube

Key lyric
Until the referee rings the bell
Until both your eyes start to swell
Until the crowd goes home
What we gonna do ya’ll?[Chorus – Ryan Tedder]
Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life ’til we’re dead.
Give me scars, give me pain
Then they’ll say to me, say to me, say to me
There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter
Here comes the fighter
That’s what they’ll say to me, say to me, say to me,
This one’s a fighter -
Excellent work people! I am a bit behind, going to do a mash up of day 7 and 9 tonight :). Did my abs and got sidetracked into a freestyle this morning….

Can I put in a suggestion for a second challenge? Pole dismounts and mounts. I could REALLY use some creative inspiration….
Love the costume idea too 🙂
