Pole Fitness. :-)

Hey my names Kyla!"

I have just started a pole fitness class which I go to every monday!! I have been going for just 3 weeks and already feel so much stronger and more active. I am also trying to go 2-3 evenings a week for a light jog with my ipod and keeping my calorie intake under 1500 :)

Any other ideas of things to try for fitness and a good diet let me know!!

Eat real food, pick up heavy things.

lmaoooo

Hi Kyla! I tried an S-Factor (pole fitness) class and loved it - the actual "warm-up" (45-minute cardio workout) was fantastic except that I've got bad knees and you put so much of your body weight on your knees that by the 3rd class it was nearly impossible for me to do the workout or any floor moves. It not only hurt while in class, but my knee (it hurt both, but my main 'bad' knee was mostly affected) would swell for 2 or 3 days after. Total bummer. :-(

Enjoy the class, though, it's very empowering to be using your sexy to get in shape and feel strong ... set's off an awesome chain reaction: feel sexy while getting stronger, stronger 'cause you feel sexier, then sexier 'cause you're feeling strong ... good stuff!

(crazydiamondchrysalis, you friggin' crack me up!)

Almost certainly the first thing to try is eating more.  1500 calories is pretty severe for any non-sedentary individual.  It's pretty austere even if you're sedentary.

Consider the gap between calories burned and calories eaten, and otherwise IGNORE total calories consumed.  The gap is what's important, and it should be between 500 and 1000.

Keep your protein intake above 1g/kg of body weight, fiber between 25 and 40g, and don't fear carbs.  Stay away from junk/snack foods.
