These are part of a series of beginner pole dance choreography videos. As more of us are locked down in our homes until the worst of the COVID-19 threat is over it is important that we find a way to connect and stay active through this very uncertain and trying time. 

Home workouts are going to become necessary for anyone who wants to keep the gains they have made from their new year's resolutions, keep from going crazy during extended cabin fever, and help with weight control. 
​
If you have a pole at home you can get a workout in even if you have never put it up. I have videos that show how to do that as well as after pole stretching videos to help start to improve range of motion. 

It is so important to keep up with physical activity at this time. Now I am speaking about mental health. Choosing to work out is in your control. You may not have the space I have. It's okay. Contact me and we can video chat about your space and how you can best use it to help you stay active while in quarantine. 

These moves are all you need to dance a song and put on a sexy show. No splits or inversions required. These moves can be done even if you can't touch your toes with straight knees. All of these moves have been broken down in earlier tutorials and this is how to string some of those moves together. This is part 1 of the series there is more to come.  

Due to COVID-19 coronavirus I am offering video conference lessons via skype or messenger. One on one lessons are still available but I will be limiting group sessions until further notice. You can call or text me on my cell 410 868 7957 or my Tampa business line 813 644 2486 for more information.

This was so important for my recovery. I decided that it was time to start training all grips Iron X again and I mean really training on a consistent schedule. I don't do 18 reps every time I train the Iron X because sometimes I do it in shoes and there is just no way. Without shoes in the beginning of each session when it's like 1! 17 to go! I have no idea how I'm going to get through all the reps. It's been good for me to power through. 
The reason it's 18 is because there are three different grips, straight, cup and twisted, 3 reps for each grip on both sides. The first session back it was so scary I had to use the crash mat for the twisted and cup grip. 
But my shoulder. It's almost like before X and after X. Before I started working on this again my shoulder would randomly  scream at me and I knew I was over-compensating still from the 2018 car accident and partial rotator cuff injury but I thought I needed to go back to the rehab exercises and start them up at least 2/week but I was wrong. The effect was instant. I could sleep on my right side again. My shoulder no longer randomly yelled about something I did in my pole session (that took me hours to comb through the video to find the culprit). 
Truly the only reason to watch this video all the way through is to see that I really did get all 18 reps in. 

I have been working on getting better at moves for tutorials. If you both read this blog and subscribe to me on youtube you may already know I'm working on building the strength to get back to the strength I was before the car accident. I intend to shoot these tutorials as I am strong enough to do so. Stay tuned and feel free to request tutorials or text 410 868 7957 for information on private lessons.
