How sick do I have to be to skip a workout?

Michelle — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:19:32 +0000

Most experts say mild to moderate exercise is fine when feeling sick if you pass the “neck check,” which means that your symptoms are above the neck (for example, a runny nose or a sore throat). Having symptoms that involve other areas of the body-fever, extreme tiredness, muscle aches, and swollen lymph glands- indicates that you need to take it easy. “Bed rest and a gradual progression back to normal workouts are recommended,” says David C. Nieman, a professor of health science at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC.

Client Spotlight ~ Allison L!

Michelle — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 02:43:49 +0000

This month’s client spotlight is on:

Allison L!

Started at Work It: Oct 7, 2011

Occupation: Gear Inspector at Sikorsky Aircraft

Home: Seymour, CT

Hobbies: Working on cars, racing, snowboarding, and of course…pole dancing!

Tell us about your Work It experience: I got into pole by taking an intro class at work it dance and fitness October 2011, I saw videos of a friend doing it online and though it would be something I would enjoy. It seemed like a very fun way to get in shape. After my first class I was instantly hooked and could not get enough of it.

For me, pole has given me confidence and motivation I never thought I would have. I always strive to get better and learn new tricks and the pole community is the most supportive environment I’ve ever been apart of. I’m currently in the best shape of my life because of pole. I had to stop taking classes to get knee surgery and had a 4 month recovery period, which caused me to gain a lot of weight. In the past 4 months I lost 20 pounds with pole fitness being my only workout.

I have perform at the Sono Arts Festival, a student showcase in Vernon, and recently I performed up in Boston at the Supershag Invitational Championships. I plan on performing another showcase in Vernon and the CT Pole Showcase this winter.
