COOL, my 1st blog entry, on my own site, that’s pretty wild:) So how is everybody doing today? Well I hope. Welp, today is January 17, 2009. Really busy today, so no time for pole dancing, I’m afraid, *sigh*, I will definitely try to get in a good session tomorrow morning. Since nothing much is goin on to really talk about on my end, nothing interesting, which is unusually ‘odd’ HA, (BTW- all my thanks to those who kept hubby in their thoughts on youtube, blood pressures have gone down on all ends, hehe), but anyhow, being that that is the case, (nothing exciting to report), I guess I’ll just talk a bit about the pole dancing ‘art’ to those who see this site, and really don’t know, what it’s ‘all about yet’.
Well, 1st off, it’s a wonderful way to keep yourself in top physical shape. Noone who pole dances will ever deny you that 1. Pole dancing builds muscle, it’s a definite form of strength training, so you should expect to look more sculpted, and in not much time, at that. It’s also an aerobic form of exercise. I don’t use it to lose weight, I’m never happy with myself, I can lose weight feel too thin, gain weight purposely, and feel fat, there is really no perfect ‘number’ that makes me happy, so I can’t say for me, if it helps to lose weight, in my case, but it does help your body and shape, for sure. Since it is aerobic, much like other aerobic forms of exercise you are burning calories, hence, you can lose weight from this form of exercise, I’ve heard many other women, who have, & some i’ve seen the results firsthand on youtube, so these are all the things i can truthfully announce here, but like i said, i can’t attest to myself, because i’m not big on the whole scale thing. lol. I don’t like #’s dictating my life, but other’s who pole dance sware it does help in that dept. You don’t have to be any particular shape or size to do this form of exercise, everybody is allowed, I’ve seen some girls whom are larger, REALLY work the pole like nobody’s business, so stigma’s are thrown out the window. No right size to start or to continue and even compete in this great sport. This exercise DEFINATELY turns fat into muscle, which will help kill the giggle, as you wiggle..ahhh the poet in me coming out, lol.Anyhow, the biggest thing I notice in my ‘mental’ life, is a definite LIFT. I’m not here writing to sell anyone on anything, I like to talk, and inform, and be REAL, so if you’re readin this it’s cause you choose to, so thank you for that, but all I can do is vouch for myself, and what pole dancing does for me, I can tell you what I hear from others, that they may agree with me, but I don’t put words in people’s mouth, for ME, mentally, I feel like I definitely have a bit more energy then I used to, require less sleep to feel ’sane’ lol, more ‘peppy’, deal with stressful situations a bit better then I had, which anything is a step up, I still get stressed, but if I hit the pole when I am in a stressed state, I notice almost an instant feeling of relief. Don’t take your anger and stress out on your man, or your mom, or even on yourself, which we know we ALL do, take it out on that pole!! It will work you wonders , and if you don’t believe me, you haven’t given it a go, have you?Admittedly, I’ve had a history of depression growing up etc, really hard life, and a lot of anxiety, so for me, the time I’ve spent poling, has really added up to extra years on my life, cause I was always a daily worrier, so I need constant stress relief, and this is the closest I’ve ever come to finding something that works. POLE DANCING…the ‘natural tranquilizer’. Again, only can speak for myself, but when I tell others how I describe pole dancing, as ‘therapy for the soul’ they couldn’t agree more, and I’ve been through regular therapy years back, I think I was wasting my money, I should have bought myself a pole. Now, over. ummm 30, geez that hurts, my daily, BIGGEST, regret, that is never, ever gonna go away, is my regret of not starting this sooner. I thought about it years ago, but the stigma was sooo widespread, that I failed to even think that there might be an online resource to simply ‘buying’ a indoor pole, I thought I’d need someone to do a custom job, someone who makes them for strip clubs or something. I brought it up to a friend in construction, and somehow let it go, thinking right now *IDIOT*, lol…now knowing those years ago, home poles were available, makes me CRAZY, cause I’d have so much time under my belt, and maybe extra years on my life span as well.BUT I digress…The stigma must become, and must stay BROKEN! Pole dancing, is not just for money making, I’m cool with whomever chooses to do it, and pass no judgement, I’ve always been a friend to all, but the entire planet needs to adopt this ‘open’ way of thinking. I believe we are headed there slowly. I can see it now…poling in the Olympics. I’ll be too old, but I’d love to watch someone here or on youtube, or both, that I know, runnin with the torch, representing their country at the Olympic games, and I don’t think it’s a matter of IF, but purely a matter of WHEN, in my own opinion. Heck if rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport, I think this is even more beautiful, so why not?At any rate getting back to my original topic…what pole dancing will do for you, as per my experience only.. gives you energy, burns fat, builds muscle, releases stress, and definitely for me, provides mental clarity. the pole can be your best friend, or your punching bag to take your anger out on, either way, your benefiting your spirit, mind, and body, while not hurting someone else’s feelings or needing a pal to come out and talk to you , but she’s TOO busy, and your all alone, does that make any sense? I sure do hope so.I used to do gymnastics as a kid and teen, up until a bad accident at 16. I shouldn’t be typing this right now, but by the grace of God, somehow, and for some reason, I am. Since then, it’s been impossibly hard for me to find any exercise I would stick with. I tend to get bored and frustrated easily, and so I’d pick up a sport or hobby, and nothing intrigued me, like the gymnastics, I no longer could do. Everything else just didn’t cut it enough to keep the motivation coming, until I bought my pole. I’m certain hubby was thinking, ‘Ok there she goes making another expense, that will collect dust’, BUT HA ON YOU HONEY..this time, u be wrong:) The best investment I’ve ever bought for my own personal use, has been my pole. I remember saying I got my monies worth, less then 1 month in. I’ve never been this motivated, hard to imagine, cause it might just look like a big steel pole, but somehow it becomes soo much more. hard to describe, but I’m sure many can relate, if you’ve been there, done that. Never a day of regret about it, except like I said, not researching it more, so I could have started it, way, way sooner. I will never let that go, unfortunately.Soo, I’ll stop chewing your ear off today, and just finish with saying, THANKS for visiting this website, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do so, and to read this post, and I hope whether you’re thinking about poling, or are poling already, you feel like you have a friend out there in the poling community who supports your hobby. So many of us over on youtube, are supporters, there is no HATE, not negativity, just praise, and encouragement over there, so come and join us, if you haven’t already, and welcome aboard:)((HEART))Shelly
