Loseit iPhone app
This app is really neat! It lets you keep track of all the calories you take in during your day and also your exercises! If you want all the features you have to pay a yearly fee of, I think, $39. You can either scan the barcode of that your eating/ drinking or you can type it in the search bar. It also keeps a log of all the things you eat so you don't have to retype it again. Instead you can pick from your food list. I give this app a B!!

Pole fitness
About a month ago I bought a stripper pole from eBay, and I really love it. I am really noticing that I am working muscles that I have never worked before and I can tell a difference in my upper body strength.
The pole I bought was $159.00. I wanted to get a professional quality pole, because some of the ones you can buy from retailers like Spencer's Gifts are cheaply made and fall down a lot. I did some research and read reviews for my pole and everyone loved it.
At first when I was thinking about getting a pole, I thought "Well those tricks looks like they would be easy to do!" Boy was I wrong!!! It is a lot of hard work doing any type of trick on a pole!! Right now my back, arms and wrists are pretty sore from doing some strength exercices on it yesterday.
Pole fitness is such a good workout and I encourage everyone who is thinking about trying to, to buy a pole or take a class. Most cities now offer classes for pole fitness. I just figured that it would be cheaper in the long run to just buy my own pole. Plus, me having a pole in my own house gives me the opportunity to work on it even when I'm not in a class or something.
On the other hand, in classes, they teach you all the moves and transitions at a steady pace and can show you what you are doing wrong. I and using youtube and some other websites for help learning different tricks.
I will tell you that it is really fun and a lot of hard work, but you really work all the muscle groups when using a pole for fitness purposes.
I haven't really mastered just sitting on the pole yet. It really hurts your thighs to hold your whole body weight up on the pole and I am too much in pain to try again.....right now! haha
I got some mighty grip gloves to use on my pole too!
Anyone else try pole fitness?? comment below
