Day 39 and 31
Have a great time at Disney!

Ouch!!!! 😳

Yes, my whole life everyone has thought it’s as simple as just eating more. But it’s not, and it can be just as concerning and frustrating trying to keep weight on as trying to loose weight. Carbs are good and necessary but you’ll have more energy if you eat a well rounded diet. I grew up eating sugar and more sugar and I was unhealthy and super skinny. Once I started eating less sugar and a well rounded diet it’s easier to keep my weight up.

Day 29! Again something I hadn’t tried before, there were many falls before I held it long enough for a quick snapshot! I’m going to add this to my list of things to keep working on.

Sounds like you have an ectomorph body type! I do to, and I need to be sure to eat well when I start dancing a lot or I loose too much weight, mostly when I do heavy days of cardio. Sooo, lots of dancing will cause me to loose weight fast, where as lifting weights doesn’t so much.
I make sure that I always eat a high protein, high carb shake after working out. Then I need to make sure I get my snacks in between meals too, but they need to be healthy not just chips or brownies (which I love so much!).
Try adding some weight training into your workouts, and just focus on making sure you don’t skip meals or eat junk food to try and boost calorie intake. Eat good food!

OMG lol. I felt pretty safe working on this in the soft sand! The worst part was there were a few people watching so at first I was self-conscious. My back is sore from trying to do day 30 :/ I think I may have to use a wall.
-
I agree they are scary!!!! I plan on continuing to work on both of these after the challenge is over!
Here’s day 28! http://instagram.com/p/uweas7pAZC/?modal=true I felt like I could only hold it for a second!

All of the routines excluding the ones for stretching are great ways to add more cardio into your pole work. Also remember you don’t need to be thin to pole and pole well! I see you’ve looked at the strength and conditioning, have you tried the 30 day take off program? This will include everything you’re looking for. 🙂

Yes, I’ve had my pole on textured ceiling too, with no problem! You should be fine. 🙂

It’s easy, just pick a photo, print it out then use a tracing tool….it leaves little marks on the pumpkins so you can just follow the dots with a knife! Here’s a pick of the tools, the little thing that has tiny teeth and is a circle, that is what you use to trace your image!

How are you warming up before stretching? Are you pulling too hard? Are you following any instruction when doing these stretches? Often people are unaware of how to hold the pelvis or what to focus on in these stretches. Are you contracting the thigh muscle? If you’re interested there are all kinds of stretching lessons and routines here

Congrats on your twins!!!! Give the elbow time off until it feels better. Something to remember,most spins are not beginner (or getting back into pole) moves. So save those for after you have done some strength work on the pole first! You’ll find tons of information here and in the lessons for building strength, conditioning and stretching. All of the lessons on the site are placed in order and organized so you can focus on what you need to, like flexibility and strength. The 30 day take off program is part of the lessons, and will give you guidance as to what to work on every day for 30 days. It’s not a challenge but a program to build strength and prevent overuse injury. You’ll also find a lot of helpful information in the lesson descriptions as well! Here’s a video that explains it a bit more.
