Congratulations!!!! I totally understand feeling like you’re not yourself after baby. I remember my first pole session after my 4th and in my mind I could remember how to do everything, HOWEVER, my body was like no, I don’t think so. It’s like someone had removed my abdominal muscles. lol
Good news it does come back and if you are careful and don’t push too hard for some it can come back fast… if you stayed in shape while pregnant. You will get back to where you were. Things to be aware of, if you had and abdominal separation avoid pole work and exercises that heavily use the rectus abdominis (six pack), so things like sit ups and such. Do some conditioning for the abs to help strengthen the whole core and close the separation.
Here’s my after baby video.

I’ve tried to get my hands on one but no luck yet. Yes you should be able to wear clothes and pole 🙂

Probably, my body works well with TG.

What they said. If something doesn’t feel right then speak up, you may have to go to the owner. Not all certifications are good and not all certified instructors know how to teach.

Hahah!

Milla it’s an easy read, I would read a few pages and then go about my day.

Lucca Valentine, That app sounds cool and I’m gonna check out the link too! Sometimes I think the members on SV are so smart and helpful they’re better than Google. lol

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

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?
