#PointeYourFuckingToes
We've heard many of our pole teachers shout this during class even when you think your toes are pointed… it's not enough! When it comes to exercise, most people overlook two of the most important parts of their body — their feet. They train upper body, lower body, and core without even thinking to strengthen their feet.

Top 3 Tips on How to Get a Six Pack
I haven't always been fit and healthy, I struggled with weight, fitness and health throughout school, and when I moved away from home for university I realised I was free to be who I wanted to be. I quickly decided I would join the gym, it was something I needed to do to change in my life, and I believed that it would improve my mental wellbeing and outlook on life as well as my physique and fitness.
