Adventures In Pole Dancing Pt. 3: I’m A Superwoman?

I didn’t know my skin could bruise until I started pole dancing, when I got introduced to pole burn.

Adventures In Pole Dancing Part 1

I got fascinated with pole dancing two years ago at a girls night out, at Crunch Gym. It was super hard, so hard that I could barely do the most basic move, which is twirl around the pole called a “fireman spin.” But I was determined to do it because the other girls in the […]

NY Lean’s Big Finale And The Results Are…

I’ve completed 5 weeks of NY Lean and it changed my life. Before NY Lean, I’d go to some “ultimate conditioning” class at my gym and I’d do those Insanity workouts but the ultimate conditioning class is child’s play compared to NY Lean and the Insanity workouts are cool but I always turn them off […]
