I love my TG too, however I have the Brass 40 and I like it, my only issue is winter when it’s cold I need to use a bit of grip aid on my legs, then the grip is great! I want a Powder coated 40 someday!

This video REALLY explains how I feel, I almost cried! I’m not just saying this because I own the joint but let me add that with SV I don’t feel disconnected, I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve always felt like I really get to know you guys on here. On FB I’ve always felt like it was a contest even among people who are my real friends to get them to see what I’m posting. Sometimes FB leaves me with questions did they see this post, do they care if I’m not posting, maybe they only like me for _____ reason? Why didn’t they “like” this photo, video, comment etc… I don’t know I may just be crazy. lol
Here’s the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7dLU6fk9QY

We personally don’t seek out only organic, so I think that it’s more of a personal preference and I don’t feel it makes a difference for me in how I feel or how healthy I am. However I do love to use products with few ingredients but again they don’t have to be all natural. I have cut out dairy milk and feel sooooooooooo much better then before!
Do you have a crockpot/slowcooker? We use ours a lot and there are some very simple and healthy recipes for crockpot cooking we only have the magazine but here is a book with the same recipes in it. I LOVE the Mediterranean Succotash! http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Light-Slow-Cooker-Tonight-practically/dp/0848736575
Cellulite is normal and there’s not magic way to change it, however a healthy diet and making sure you are hydrated can lessen the look of cellulite. I’m thin and have cellulite, in the sun and those lovely store dressing rooms it looks the worst. lol But it does look less noticeable if I drink water and eat well.
For energy our bodies like to have a regular meal and snack time, this keep blood sugar level and energy up! I’ve also found that eating spinach, kale, and thinks of that nature, usually in juice form, helps with energy. I can tell when I don’t have my greens!!
With both of your posts in mind, remember that life is about balance and balance doesn’t mean doing all things, everyday. Just like physical balance happens not be staying ridged and unmoving, but rather by making many slight adjustments, our lives too just like physical balance must include the ability to make many small adjustments. Learn to make choices about what’s important for that day, hour, minute. Somedays family may need you more, so workouts need to be shortened or skipped. If you pay attention to your surroundings you’ll know what to focus on and somehow things work out! xoxoxo

Hey Milla, relaxing is something I have to find time for or I end up a hot mess! lol
I relax in different ways depending on what’s going on in my life at the moment. Something that I try to do often regardless of what’s happening in life is take hot bath! If I’m feeling overwhelmed I stretch, hoop or do some kind of physical activity that I enjoy. Meditation is very important and I WAS very good about making it a part of my day until recently. This post reminds me I need to get back at it, it can really change your whole day and attitude. I also enjoy hanging with my kids, going to the beach or for a walk with them. Sometimes I bake to relax or do an art project! Being in nature is SUPER important as far as reliving stress, I like to look out my window and see nature, just a few mins of looking out a window can boost my mood.
If you are looking for a interesting book on mediation this is one I enjoy http://www.amazon.com/Wherever-You-There-Are-ROUGH/dp/1401307787

Yes, I use the forearm and also I push into the pole more with the back of the calf and not as much as the front of the shin 😊
-
Thank you 😊
-
We absolutely need pro’s and pole stars to represent and it’s great to follow them because you will find inspiration. I have no issue with them, they have worked VERY hard and I know how time consuming it is to keep up with posting to social media and I personally find it mentally draining at times, then other times its fun to try and find things people like to share. I’m talking more about what and how pole related companies present pole to the world, at this point in time it doesn’t seem like a general population obtainable exercise or art.
After reading everything it seems I will continue to try and post a mix of inspirational, informational, and the incredible to our sv page?
-
45 is what I suggest. 😊
-
Don’t be sorry, these things are super popular!
-
I can re-post the Challenge at the beginning of August if you wanted to start then.
-
It’ll come back! Have you busted out the heels yet?
-
Don’t feel frustrated about this challenge…. keep in mind that many challenges are not set up in a way that allows for reasonable progression. Doing something strength related over and over without adequate rest usually doesn’t work for many people. When I designed my ab challenge I made sure muscle groups where not over worked, however it was still meant to be a challenge so it is not easy!
Also I’m not sure that doing any of the popular meme challenges will improve strength significantly for most people, that’s not to say some won’t see results.
-
Thanks for the update! They look nice.
-
If you find on it’s own makes you slick add mighty grip over the top and it’s nice a grippy!!
-
Yes, you can do a hip hold without using the back of the armpit, and I don’t usually give everything new names so I would just call it a hip hold variation. 🙂
-
Oh and Raven, I agree, I wonder where 409 went?
-
All great points of view!
I like Instagram, it’s a great way for me to make posts people are interested in right to FB and Twitter. I just wish that clips were not the ONLY thing everyone wants to see. :/ I post a few non pole pics and vids there too, but they aren’t to popular. lol
Paunobs, there are still many places in the world we haven’t reached yet, it’s challenging because we don’t have any pole related companies helping us out by advertising our site worldwide, but we do what we can!! We’re still growing and still the largest Pole site out there!
-
Hopefully you’ll get it sorted out soon! Also if you don’t have swelling heat really helps my injured foot, ice makes it worse, for me that is.
-
Don’t forget to foam roll and stretch the shin and calf in addition to the conditioning, massage and foot stretching of the foot😊
These exercises on pointing the toes might be helpful too. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50c8ace5-5db0-439e-828c-6a350ac37250

I’m also a fan of more showgirl style poling! I stopped watching pro videos a few years ago when everything became very formulaic and it was twisted grip, followed by whatever the newest trick was over and over, but they did what they new would get scores you can’t fault them for that!
From what I’m seeing I think on the site everyone (not just me, it’s been a team effort) has done a great job of encouraging all levels and keeping a vibe of enjoying the journey instead of progress, progress or you’re a failure. That make’s me very happy. So far none of the polers but Charley, who started back when I did have commented yet, but from what I see on my FB feed they still get down when there’s lack of progress or if they stop practicing for a bit. I feel the “first generation” of polers still feel if they pole they must also be an X girl, competing or touring otherwise what’s the point. Our friends around us became famous and I think that was very discouraging for some the “first generation”. This is just speculation though.
Shoogstandley, I am traveling but have a stage pole with me, however I don’t find stage poles very inspiring 🙁 I’m hoping to find studios who will allow me to either join in open pole or use their studio space while I’m not home.
Charley, we would love to see you here more! It does feel like everything is a popularity contest when it comes to pro’s and I’ve tried to get them involved here because I think they might find it refreshing to get away from media where only the crazy stuff get’s attention. I’m not sure if it’s me personally they don’t like or if they feel using SV is a waist of time? I’m very much over social media myself, but do to the nature of the site, we have to post regularly. It becomes very draining, because on social media you’re only remembered if you’re doing something new or super challenging ALL…THE…TIME, no one can live up to that!
Polediva, it was so great to have a little time to pole with you, I think beginner can be beautiful!

Insert *s above lol

Welcome back Gylass!!!
-
Great replies every!! I’m going to repost this half of my first post so those new to the topic can see.
What do YOU guys see in your social media feeds?
Do you feel encouraged or discouraged by what you see?
Have we been too spoiled by the video clip to sit down and enjoy a dance?
How can we get everyone here to help spread the word that pole IS for EVERYONE?
-
I love to read that so many of you are following others who are at a similar level!!
Who and what do you share?
I also find it interesting that those who are newer to pole seem to follow and look up to each other. Where My friends on fb who started around the same time I did only tend to share the elite, pole star videos.
I’m finding this thread very interesting!
-
I think sharing progress is great and important.
We’ve tried to get those who create challenges to post about them here but for some reason they have no interest in sharing with us only fb and other media. I see plenty of talk when it comes to the challenges so I would thing the creators would post them here.
