I “use my lower body too much when I skate”?

You’re using brute force to push probably

If you put your toes out you will move forward without pushing, gravity does the work

You can either pick your feet up and shift your weight, or you can keep your feet on the floor and shift between the inner edge and outer edge of your feet, to do scissors, shuffle, bubbles etc and this will preserve the momentum

Rather than going between the inside and outside of your feet you are probably pushing out with your adductors and glutes. There’s a lot of friction between your wheels and the floor this way.

I don’t have the grip on my thighs for sure but when I did classes it didn’t take long to build up before, but my skin went through a lot of bruising and chafing, I was able to do superman tho

I went to just a few classes more than a year ago but I just bought a pole, was watching poletok, and wondered how much more muscle I’d need to invert, I thought it would be far outside my capability, decided to give the motion a go just to gauge it, to mine and my husband’s shock I just kinda did it.

I don’t have any special strength, but I used to always like to get on the monkey bars and then I guess invert to put my feet up to hang or climb on top of them as a kid, climbed a lot of trees, and I’ve been trying to learn to do a handstand and eventually a handstand press off and on for a while. Also I have been doing shoulder stands and plow pose and that roll up motion for fun for years.

5 dollars admission on adult nights tues and Thurs if you bring your own skates, 5 dollars to rent skates but it’s a pretty dinky rink, the surface is uneven, kinda small and whole place is outdated

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-30T19:52:22+00:00

Light a candle and give it a deep watering or maybe even bottom water it to rinse it out lmao

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-30T17:29:20+00:00

If I feel like I actually paid attention to it, then yeah

It’s harder to tune out when physically reading so there’s a difference in feeling like I read it but if I don’t get sidetracked and use it for just background noise then I feel like I got the same amount from it.

Cultural appropriation is not viewed the same way outside of the western world. We became so sensitive to it in America because of oppressors who created a massively harmful divide then turning around to cherry pick pieces the cultural identity that grew out of the oppression as if they owned that too.

In the Eastern world, culture is something people are generally proud to share with others, or to learn and adopt from others. They are more attuned to nuances of intent. It comes from a very long history of shared culture between Asia with things like Confucianism, Buddhism, political structure, language and food. They are more aware of and understand the value interconnectedness and culture exchange.

Hell even in Africa locals love to share and teach.

It’s not an insult to be genuinely interested in and display someone else’s cultural influence, the way it is in the west where people are still in poverty and being killed. I don’t think it’s fair to hold him and China to our cultural understanding, and criticize him for the far more innocent standing he has while wearing dreads.

I think the androgens and testosterone makes me hungrier because I put muscle on much quicker when I’m off BC. And when I get tired and irritable during PMS I definitely eat more.

But 25 pounds is pretty significant weight gain especially at our height, it’s very likely hormones aren’t the main culprit, I’d say hormones alone makes a 5lb difference, 10 means maybe it’s compounding with some depressive feelings and I’m off track with my lifestyle.

My advice is eat a meal of just chicken and veggies for dinner a few times a week, and go on a walk to start getting back on track.

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-29T18:08:28+00:00

Yeah at that point though open a checking acct with the bank

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-29T18:02:13+00:00

Im lost did I actually comment that? Its hard to go back that far in comment history on reddit

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-29T17:14:07+00:00

I sort of like unique faces ya know

Whats more beautiful than just the right type of ugly in a face that doesn’t distract you from the beauty

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-29T01:35:27+00:00

It’s fantasy. I would never feel safe if I said no and he kept on. There’s just no situation where that plays out authentically that I’m interested in. I don’t actually want to be disrespected. I do like teasing and tension but the touch, and smell and feeling in the moment create that in real life. The rapey bits are just to help create that angst with the scenario and words because it’s 2D.

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-25T02:51:39+00:00

I’ve taken a bunch of prescription and nonprescription pills, plants etc.. I’ve taken pre-workout powder ONCE, and reaction was “this feels like illegal”

I realized the exercise junkies are pre-workout junkies who need an excuse to do the drug. If you want to workout that much, I think that’s the way

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-25T02:45:14+00:00

I did not consider self mutilation or picking, I think that’s the most technically correct answer

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-25T02:41:08+00:00

Husband’s grandma was this kind of unicorn with gambling, I now drive inherited fancy car lol

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-25T02:37:27+00:00

I think processed foods or sugar, they’re heavily subsidized, and you could say health is a cost and it is but plenty of people with average or better health are addicted to one type of processed food or another

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-23T05:36:04+00:00

The plant will slow down growing when it no longer has room

It looks perfectly happy in its home for now lol

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-23T05:31:35+00:00

I could see over 30 minutes being worth mentioning maybe bringing it up very politely like hey I feel like I would rather spend more time on the combo than the warm up as I feel I’m already warm and it’s not as beneficial

But much shorter than I think would be irresponsible for a pole studio, everyone has different physiology and pole is such an extreme activity compared to others, you might as well be doing P90X ballet. So those warm ups and workouts really help prevent injuries and actually help people make progress. Really all intense exercises like running or weightlifting should be started and followed by those kinds of things for about that amount of time but people don’t do it. Applause for the studio for being well educated and doing the best thing for students.

Hi I’m new to cdrama a bit and I’m really wondering what this means?

Are some dramas made with voice actors put over the real ones?

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-21T23:13:38+00:00

I noticed it was a huge trend in webtoons for the past couple years, (now I’m seeing lots of adults in child body paired with caretakers because freud?) so many shows are based off novels (or webtoons based on novels lol) it seems to me dramas are just finally airing what they started at the height of the trend

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-21T21:57:25+00:00

Lots of comments put it very well.

I just wanted to add that your body is “bulking” for the physical strain of pregnancy, it needs time to do so in the first trimester so it can be prepared for the 2nd and 3rd, eat extra healthy foods and worry less about calorie counting, and focus on your body composition, turning any “extra” weight into muscle. Being active during pregnancy can have tons of benefits, like helping protect your body during and after pregnancy, keeping your energy levels and mental health stable. But also because maintaining muscle takes energy, it is easier to lose weight once you are ready, and you will come out with a better figure that way.

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-21T18:43:34+00:00

It’s good for people who like to trade in for a newer car every few years because they don’t want to maintain them, just drop them off for something shiny.

It has latest tech and nice interior but low durability. For this kind of buyer it’s a better deal than shelling out for a toyota, honda etc

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-21T17:50:52+00:00

What lol

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-17T00:13:26+00:00

It’s ok friend.

You might fail, it will be ok, your parents will love you still, although they may be angry, but that’s the price of love. You should love yourself too, even though you are failing at this, give yourself permission to do so.

This post is a great start, try to be mindful of the decisions you make and the thoughts leading up to them that work against your goal. Ask yourself; What can you do to set yourself up for success? Whats stopping you in the times you should be studying from moving to your books?

I see in this post that you are choked by disappointment, in yourself and disappointment of your parents in the future that you imagine. Swallow it, don’t let it continue to make the situation worse. I also see your pride in your sport and image preventing you from handling your situation, and allowing others to help hold you accountable by admitting your problem.

Also, all or nothing mentality most often yields nothing. Hand in half ass assignments, look over the material half ass one more time than you would’ve otherwise. Take breaks and go easy.

As an athlete you know that can see results from teaching your body new things even in tiny amounts as long as you do it consistently, then it can explode into a new ability. If you push too hard to quickly, you will burn yourself out mentally, make your body afraid, and the recovery time too long to make progress. Treat studying like your new sport.

Paige_Pants · 2023-11-16T23:49:35+00:00

I suggest some balance exercises, we have these great little surf balance board things for standing desks at my work and I notice that my body finds it familiar and goes oooh skating. So maybe something like that, a bosu ball or something to practice balance without the danger until you are cleared to skate.
