Week 8 | RECOVERING Letting Go Of The End Goal & Embracing The Journey

As this recovering series wraps up for week 8, I can’t help but feel like it’s not over. And it’s not; there will be another series with step by step video instructions on how to do a pole dance routine for beginners coming up next. However, the main reason it’s not over is that a pole dancing workout is a journey, not a dead end goal.Many times when we start a new diet, a workout plan, or some weight loss plan, we get attached to the end goal. The end goal could be more muscle, could be losing 10 pounds of fat, or it could be working out on your dance pole at home 3 times a week.When we form these end goals, without realizing it, we also displace our happiness for a short period of time as we pursue this end goal we want to have. Now, I am not against setting goals, but what I wanted to emphasize in week 8 is to not place your sole happiness in getting the end goal.Most of the time when we set goals to get what we want, the deadline doesn’t get met exactly on time and/or things don’t go as planned. It’s literally impossible to form a “for sure” plan to get a goal that will “for sure” work because if we already knew how to get the end goal in our minds, then we would already have it! But we don’t have it and that’s why we set goals.A plan to get an end goal is a journey with an ebb and flow.Throughout a plan, you will find our own faults, come across unanticipated roadblocks, and other hiccups that knock you off track. When you are very attached to your end goal and getting it by a pre-set deadline, then once your plan doesn’t go “as planned” you will probably have a tendency to get very discouraged and give up like most everyone else does!If you want true change, you cannot give up.It’s ok to make a “loose plan” and it’s ok to have fitness goals. However, what is MORE IMPORTANT, especially if you want to succeed at getting your goal and staying on track, is that you embrace the good and bad parts of your journey to getting the goal. Life and plans are not perfect nor will they ever be. I’m am definitely not where I wanted to be in week 8, however, I do know that I did the best I could given my life circumstances and that I will KEEP GOING! Because I still want my end goal!We are all creators and magical humans. Life is about growth that doesn’t stop! Think about it, doesn’t grass suddenly stop growing at a certain length? Nope, most things is nature don’t.So why would your goals get so rigid and solid to the point that we beat ourselves up and get disappointed when things change and we grow in a different direction?Now that week 8 of this recovering through a pole dancing workout series has arrived, I must say that this single realization is by far the biggest piece that has been emotionally healing for myself, my business, and my choices in life.I will still make loose goals, however, my focus has become ensuring that love and joy remain in my workouts as well as remain a natural part of my lifestyle, not a forced or rigid change I must learn to follow or abide by.Here is the final pole dance routine I promised. I chose a song that I have been wanting to choreograph for a very long time. I started to choreograph it but stopped many times because I wasn’t emotionally well enough to finish it believe it or not. However, through this series, I feel recovered enough to FINISH it.It’s important to choose music that helps you let go inner emotional barriers as well. This will give you’re the greatest joy as you dance on your pole dancing pole. You will know this music when you listen to it. It will also help you feel more sexy and confident when you dance.I didn’t run it until it was perfect, I stopped when I felt like I enjoyed the dance. I also included a few of the pole dance moves I did early in the series while I was free styling. I found that enjoying moves I already know brings me the greatest joy so, in this routine, I didn’t create any added stress by learning something that would be too strenuous to express joyfully.Hope you enjoy it:Remember, there will be a new series coming out soon where I will teach you a short pole dancing routine for beginners that you can follow along and do in your own home.Please leave me some comments below and as always, enjoy your pole journey.I really want to say “until next time, enjoy our wild America”. Haha, I used to watch that show as a kid and for some reason, it just popped into my brain as I closed out this recovering series.

Getting Rid Of Boredom In Your Daily Pole Dancing Workout

When it comes to a daily workout it can become very monotonous and BORING. Doing squats, lunges, and bicep curls in your workout year after year can get…. Well….. I guess I already said it very boring. Yet we keep doing them because they are effective exercises when you are trying to get fit and healthy.Doing individual pole dance moves by themselves for a long period of time can get boring just as much as those lunges and squats. Any good workout will have a certain level of individual moves that need to be learned and perfected in proper form. Once you understand it and have practiced those moves for a while them the boredom comes creeping in and you end up fighting to keep going. I don’t know about you but I hate that feeling of pushing myself to do something that doesn’t interest me any longer.A good workout is essential to reaching any fitness goals successfully.So what makes those individual exercises (like individual pole dancing moves) so boring? And how can you keep doing them but re-discover a new level of excitement as a means to stay motivated? Mixing it up with transitions and routines is the answer. When you take your basic pole dancing moves and learn to use creative transitions to get to the next move, then you are building a dance routine.Routines are long strings of structured dance moves tied together with expressive transitions and when paired with music, we call it dance.Because we call it dance, some people will think that it’s very different than a workout and it’s really not. If you take lunges and use a creative transition to move into a bicep curl and add that to music, then you are dancing through your workout. Pole Dancing IS a workout. Routines can be rearranged in endless ways incorporating a million different styles and genres of music. This is why they never get boring. You can do the same basic pole dancing moves you need to sculpt those gorgeous lean muscles and string them together with transitions built of good dance technique and music to keep your brain interested and motivated to workout rather than pushing yourself to do the same boring movements on a daily basis.Humans are natural creators and love creative processes. Dance has long been known for being an integral part of the creative arts, a hobby all our brains love (but sometimes think we can’t do).When you are learning how to pole dance at home, creating pole dance routines on your own can be a challenge at first. Not everyone is born with the natural talent to be the master choreographer.The best way to get over this hump is to learn as many pole dancing routines from other teachers with various styles as you can until you have a better understanding of your own individual style. This can take years to develop, but the journey itself into discovering your own dancing style is what keeps you excited and motivated, never bored.To help you avoid boredom, I have added 2 new pole dance routines for intermediate dancers to the Home Pole Dancing Lessons Course.Enjoy!

Life is so full of ways to exercise; you don’t need to be trapped into anything boring. Getting fit, lean, and in the best shape of your life is only as fun as you make it.You must be willing to get out of your comfort zone and try something new or you will undoubtedly get bored.Boredom is a death sentence to your motivation.

Women need variety to keep things spicy and exciting! Just like sex in the bedroom, if you don’t find ways to keep it alive, things can go stale …. Fast! Revving up your sexy inner vixen can be one of the most rewarding benefits you get from pole dancing workout routines for women. Historically, many times I have gone to the gym and found a great workout. In the end of my average gym workout, I just felt exhausted which is a good thing because I know I got a good workout. However, I PREFER to feel exhausted AND empowered on the inside. A little hop in my step and a feeling of an inner sexy “strut” as I walk away and finish my daily workout is a better feeling by far.Staving off boredom in any routine is critical to keeping your motivation as well. The best way to prevent pole dancing workout boredom is to always be learning new pole dancing workout routines for women (or men if you are a man).There are so many ways to dance and so many styles of dance that can be mixed into a pole dancing workout like hip-hop, ballet, jazz, dubstep, sexy-step (ok, I made that one up but it sounds good!), and much more. The dance itself is just fun and entertaining.It is best to know the basic beginner pole dancing moves and spins before you go collecting several different pole dance routines to your home inventory of workouts.

Pole Dancing Workouts For Women |Escape Boredom & Negative Self-Talk

All us women know that working out, being fit, and striving to be healthy is part of life. We also know that the regular gym workouts can get boring, yet we must keep dredging forward if we want to burn the fat and keep the progress we have created thus far.Pushing yourself through a workout you hate is the worst feeling, but the good news is that there are many workouts for women that are so fun and so enjoyable that you forget you were even exercising for an hour.Dancing has been the standard way for women to enjoy a new workout and escape the boredom of getting fit at home or in a gym. We love all kinds of dancing workouts including Zumba, Jazzercise, Step Aerobics to cool music and any other form of fitness that gives us an excuse to shake our booty to music. Women love to dance!!!!I’m hopelessly addicted to dancing and it’s the ONLY way I will get fit. I just get too bored otherwise trying to do repetitive exercise routines that are not musically choreographed. Once I’m bored then I quickly fall back on that self-talk (sometimes negative I must admit) as a means to PUSH myself to go. I hear myself say things like “you better go or that fat will come back” “Those thighs are looking a little bumpy!” AHHHHH! Why do we talk to ourselves that way!? But it’s true, we all have this negative self-talk we use to make ourselves do something we truly don’t want to do in our hearts.It’s not a crime to hate doing lunges one more day but boy do we PUNISH ourselves like it is a crime if we don’t do them! Yuck, join me and let’s escape this rut together …. AND DANCE!!! A pole dancing fitness workout for women has always been my “negative self-talk” escape from the workout boredom black hole! More specifically, you guessed it; pole dancing workouts for women is an even better fix! Why?! Well for those of you girls who already own a pole dancing pole for your home workout, you know how much fun it is and you know how time just flies by when you’re having fun pole dancing for fitness. Keep reading to learn how to expand your home pole dancing workout.For those of you who haven’t got up enough guts to try any pole dancing workouts for women, then you are in for a real fun and sexy treat! Many women start by going to a local pole dancing class, however, even if a woman have access to a class, many women don’t like to go because they don’t want to learn to pole dance or move sexily in front of strangers. The good news is that you can do a pole workout at home just for yourself, for fun, for fitness, to prepare for a live pole dancing class in your town, or ALL of the above.During a pole dancing workout, you can expect several things: - You will learn beginner pole dancing moves one by one OR in a beginner pole dancing workout routine to music (which is the way I prefer to teach it.) Moves are learned as you learn to dance the routine, this makes class A LOT more fun. - You will be given strengthening exercises that are ballet-inspired and dance oriented so that you get stronger, leaner, AND you start to learn to move like a dancer – gracefully & sensuous – hopefully J These pole dancing exercises are not your regular lunges or boring dumbbell routines. These strengthen while creating better balance amongst many other things. - You will learn dance inspired stretches that work your muscles (yes I said WORK) and lengthen them back out for those long lean gorgeous muscular lines.Of course, all of the above is what you can expect from my home pole dancing lessons; I cannot speak for every pole dancing class on the planet.In the end, you must pick pole dancing lessons that are right for you, your home, and how you plan to use your dance pole.To get started all you need is a good quality pole dancing pole for your home, some good “fitness oriented” pole dancing lessons for beginners (yes you can buy lessons that are not fitness oriented :/), and yourself in comfy workout clothes and bare feet! (You can get both in a pole dancing workout kit)Sometimes beginners will need things like grip aids for their dance poles or crash mats, but those are things that can be bought after-the-fact once you know you need them for your individual use and workout at home.So, END the negative self-talk, get up off your tush and pole dance through your workout! Life is too short to hate your workout OR your beautiful bodies, no matter what size you are right now!Go here to get some pole dancing workouts for women online >>

Life Changing Way To Feel Confident While Pole Dancing For a Workout

Pole dancing for a workout has a way of putting the pressure on a woman to feel sexy. Just looking at a stripper pole make many women feel inadequate. Some people won’t even try pole fitness dancing because they don’t think they are sexy or strong enough. Those negative feeling toward their bodies prevents them from experiencing a workout for women that is truly life transforming.In many ways, our culture teaches us that we are not allowed to love our bodies or even like ourselves unless meeting certain beauty standards. Are you thin enough? Do you have beautiful eyes? Are your legs toned? And the list goes on and on.Beauty has a definition in our USA culture and the definition is largely decided by what you see on the front of popular women’s magazines. Basically, if you aren’t thin, sleek, and toned, well then that’s not sexy. I beg to differ.Should we let our self-worth as a woman be based on these per-determined ideas of what “beautiful” is? Do we FIRST need to be beautiful (by our culture's standards) BEFORE we can feel sexy? Or before we can feel confident? Or before we can say “I love myself”? Why should predetermined rules (that someone else made up) about what “beautiful” is be the FINAL and DETERMINING factor in whether I (as a woman) get to feel good about myself when I am pole dancing for a workout? It shouldn’t.The fact remains that even if you read this and agree with me, the next time we walk by a mirror, those thoughts telling us how we should have thinner thighs, longer legs, less body fat and so on will be right there in our minds to deal with…. Plaguing us with negativity and furthermore making it harder to actually feel good about ourselves. How can we overcome this?We won’t be overcoming our weight problems or getting the body of a pole dancer tomorrow. Reshaping the body takes time. So the question remains, how can we feel good, sexy, and confident NOW while we are working towards our pole dancing fitness goals?Simple. Yup, I said simple. - Remember that the rules of beauty are determined by someone or something OUTSIDE you. - Get brutally honest with yourself and ask yourself how true those “rules of what makes a person beautiful” is true for you. What is beautiful to YOU? Answer that question honestly without the influence of what our society says beauty is supposed to look like. If you have a problem answering this, envision you have a daughter, what would you tell her is beautiful? What is truly beautiful is only a concept of YOUR mind and soul. - Find the beauty you have right now in this moment and focus on that now. Is your skin soft? Can you see clearly? Do you have both your arms and both your legs? Do you like your eyelashes? Pinpoint the best parts of your body that you feel are beautiful RIGHT NOW. - Allow yourself to sit with those beautiful thoughts of yourself for a moment every morning. FEEL IT! FEEL the appreciation and beauty that you already possess. If it’s your skin you love, run your hand down your leg and enjoy and appreciate how that FEELS. If may be only a few things you can find at first, but that’s ok. - HERE IS THE GAME CHANGER: Connecting with the energy that you have and are beautiful IN THIS MOMENT in some way will allow you to feel beautiful right here and now. Feeling beautiful right here and now will open the door for you to see MORE things that are beautiful that you didn’t notice before; things you took for granted because you were too busy focusing on all the things you hated about yourself.Now that you feel beautiful to go get on that home pole dancing pole and carry this positive energy of beauty into your pole dancing workout. Life can be short! If you were to die next week, would it be worth agonizing over that cellulite?Pole Dance and enjoy it now! Enjoy the feminine movements of the pole dancing workout routine and feel good now! Feel sexy NOW. Feeling Sexy and Confident is a choice you make, not something granted to you after you match our culture's standards for beauty. Now is all you really have. There is no guarantee of what tomorrow will bring.If you don’t take steps to make your NOW moments beautiful, then you will weave a life of misery for yourself.I am not saying to give up on your clean dietary eating and stop trying to tone your body. Don’t abandon your fitness and health goals. Those are a way you love yourself as well, by taking care of your body.BUT!! DO remember that you are beautiful RIGHT NOW in some way and you have a choice to connect and focus on that instead.You are the pioneer and lighthouse of your existence here on Planet Earth. Don’t waste your time hating your body in the moment because it doesn’t look like a cover model. Learning to pole dance at home can be the most rewarding and exhilarating workout if you LET IT be.Have a Blessed Day; treat yourself well and with respect. Don’t let bad emotions win and stand of for what is positively working in your life today :)
