Confessions of a Pole-oholic

Luxe One thing I really want to work on more this year is my flexibility, over the break between terms Luxe ran two contortion workshops at Bobbis Gold and they were great, the first one we focused on splits and a bit of back bending and the second one on mainly back bending.  This term I've enrolled in her flexibility class and after the first class today I'm pretty excited to see how much I can improve my flexibility. I'm pretty flexible already, I can already do the splits on my left, right and centre, but when I do my front splits I always have my hips open instead of square. So that's my main goal at the moment, to get both my left and right splits with my hips completely square. I'm going to have to make sure that I stretch during the week when possible. I also want to improve my back and shoulder flexibility so I'll work on those as well.

So it's a new year so time to set some new goals! AND STICK TO THEM!! I didn't really have many goals last year, I didn't write them down so I could make sure I worked for them, but this year that's going to change!  First things first! I have a new pole book! It was hard to part with my old one, I love it, but it was falling apart so I decided it was time for an upgrade! Something a bit brighter so I went for a bright pink/orangeish number from Typo. I've also separated it into sections for certain performances/comps that I want to do this year. Each section has enough space for me to stick in pictures for costume ideas and write down combos and eventually the whole routine if I feel I need to! I also got one of Lou Landers Pole Goal Diary's for Christmas to help me be a bit more focused on what I want to achieve, it's fantastic, it has a section each month where you can write down your goals and two sections in the back to write more details on what yo...

Pull on your leg warmers and your favourite leopard print hot pants and get ready for a workout!!  Over the last few months Cleo has been working her butt off to release an amazing work out DVD, Rockin Legs n' Abs and you can check out the trailer for it NOW on Youtube!! It looks incredible and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy! As some one who has been a victim  had the pleasure of being tortured  having their butt well and truly whipped by Cleo in her flex class (and in her class warm ups) I can guarantee it's going to be worth it!!  Not only that but you don't have to be a pole dancer to do the workout! it's for everyone!!  Pre Orders will be open soon so keep an eye out on Cleo's  Facebook Fan Page  for more details! (she will be shipping them worldwide) AND!!!!! Think the outfits the girls are wearing are awesome (I know I've been drooling over a few of the pieces)? Well they will also be available to purchase!! So if y...
