After a brief chat with someone on our FB page last night, I'd like to add that recording is not totally necessary. The challenge is more about encouraging you find awareness within your body, breath and movement. For some, this may be so personal they are not comfortable sharing with everyone and I completely get that. If you don't feel ready to share through video, then I would love to read about your experience with this challenge right here on this thread!!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Since you asked for other suggestions, I'll add that there are many individual stretching lessons here and three, 20 + mins long stretching routines for the splits and back. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

There is a beach at Lake Mead and the water is so warm and clear, you have a view of mountains which is lovely. There is no shade so you might want to go in the morning or bring an umbrella. It's about 20-50 mins away depending on where you're staying. http://www.nps.gov/lake/planyourvisit/swimming.htm
Red Rock is beautiful, and has hiking. If you were going to hike you would need to go in the morning for sure! http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/lvfo/blm_programs/blm_special_areas/red_rock_nca.html
Mount Charleston is cooler if you want to see some nature and hike among the mountains, it's only about 20-30 mins away from the city. We head up to the MT Charleston Lodge for lunch now and then. http://www.mtcharlestonlodge.com/#/mtcharlestonlodge/
The Springs Preserve is a neat place, you can see the history museum, ride bike along the path, and learn a lot about the area. http://www.springspreserve.org/attractions/trails.html

I don't gamble either…What you do depends on the time of year. If it's summer then your limited because of the heat. When will you be in Vegas?

I'm sorry to hear….It's hard to say goodbye to a pet https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

If you want to stretch a bit at work or say when you are traveling and stop and feel like stretching out. It's ok to not fully warm up. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Just stretch until you feel tension, it wont hurt anything as long as you do go crazy with "getting as far as possible". The warm up is most important before you are doing flexibility training "hard core" stuff, to GAIN flexibility. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Foam rolling and a well place tennis ball could help release "adhesions" and old tissue that had been injured.

There are all kinds of theories about stretching so you might hear all kinds of answers!
My personal thoughts are…. we all have different bodies and for some the bone structure, over all heath and genetics, makes doing splits more difficult or physically not possible. However, I have seen people who were very inflexible reach the splits!
One of the main issues I think people have whether it's stretching or any kind of physical activity is their MIND! If you tell yourself over and over, you cannot bend or will "never" be flexible, or that something is hard, then this is what your mind will accept and so will your body. It sounds weird, but I really feel you have to actually believe you are capable of whatever task your trying to perform.
We all have physical limits, but I feel those limits are set by our minds to some degree.
Tell her to change up the order of her stretches, the kind of stretching, and the time she holds the stretches. The body and mind needs to be challenged with change to grow.

Thanks for letting us know about the straight alcohol!!

Korinne, If you like the easy of set up the SV pole offers, they do have a Stainless steel option! I really like how quick the one piece goes up so that would be my vote! Their customer service is really great so if you have questions or something comes up they are there for you.

It's not just heat that is needed, so a blow dryer wont help clean it but it would warm the pole if your room and pole were cold. The steam will remove any greasiness, windexs works well too. If you want to steam the pole you can use an iron set to steam too. Just hold it near the pole (not on) let the steam build for a second, then wipe right away.

Well….I DID wrap a pole in grip tape, the kind you would use for a hoop!! I did it for a green screen video I was doing so I could "remove" the pole in the video! I can tell you it was soooooooo painful to use! It was like rope burn all over, not recommended!! But the video turned out pretty cool!! lol

Alcohol is fine. If there seem to be build up, I use windex or a steam cleaner. Honestly though, I don't have to clean it with anything most of the time, I just wipe it off with a clean dry towel. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
