    I do suggest the 30 day take off I designed it for people who have taken time off or have never poled before. It’s easy, just follow what I want you to do each day, you don’t have to plan anything for yourself! You could try some of the routines found in the routine section too.

    Multiple studies find that sugar is one of the worst things for us. That doesn’t mean you have to go for 0 sugar but it’s really helpful to watch that number! In the US there is a lot of sugar put in our packaged foods so be on the lookout for that. Things like Ketchup and bread have added sugars…so dumb!

    I wouldn’t stress about counting calories unless it motivates you, which it sounds like it doesn’t.

    You don’t have to eat more to gain muscle, you just need to eat well so your body can recover after workout. Food literally is fuel for us. Protein is needed for muscle growth, but you also need carbs as well. It’s about balance.

    I talk about this in the lessons…and easy rule to follow for eating is: Eat a colorful plate and watch your portion sizes. Move more.

    Just tried them on my TG and they stick fine. So I’m not sure what might be the problem. Here’s some photos of how I wrap mine.

    I have the RITFIT brand and they stay fine, but I’ve only used them on my brass….will try it on my TG at some point to see if it’s different.

    You wont see much change in fat loss if you just work on tricks. Working through routines, or dancing is what will raise your heart rate and can help. As mentioned, eat well. There’s no magic diet that works for everyone and don’t waist too much time on fade diets of don’t eat this only eat that, don’t skip meals or starve yourself. I enjoy sweets and save it for the evening as a reward of making through the day! Otherwise I try and watch my sugar….NO SODA, and most drinks have tons of sugar so don’t forget to check that. Sports drinks are mostly just sugar too so good old water is GREAT!

    I’ve not heard of them either! I always use a yoga mat when I practice, then overtime I get use to the movement and it’s not so hard on my shoulder. It would be cool to have some kind of protection tho!!!

    This week is all about grounded (standing) movements! It’s my favorite set, I love the music I found, the outfit and the slinky moves. I hope you all have fun with it too!

    January 11, 2018 at 12:15 am in reply to: Goal to be able to do pull ups. What can I do on pole to help me get there?

    There are!
    If you have a pole at home try these lessons:
    Pole row
    Pole hold
    Pole UP (I don’t think I have a lesson for this one) Grip up higher than pole hold and literally pull up, make sure to switch hand placement.
    Descending scissors
    The Chest and back routine

    Advanced pole stuff that would help: Shoulder mounts (if you can’t yet try the 30 day nailed it shoulder mount program)

    Off pole:
    Wide rows
    High rows
    Lateral pulls
    Hands and elbows planks

    Don’t forget to keep things in balance and focus on the body as a whole, it all works together.
