Starting 30 Day Takeoff Today
I’m starting the 30 Day Take off today. I’m really excited I’ve been pole dancing for about a year and now and I have made allot of progress but I am still having trouble inverting. Part of the issue is I work full time and have school so I’ve had to cut back on going to the gym. I’m hoping to use this website and another one to work on my strength and flexibility this year. I also go to a pole studio that i love, but I needed to be able to have more for days that I couldn’t make it to the studio. 🙂

I made it through my first day. I’m excited for day 2 🙂 I can’t wait to keep this going. I know I need to work on my posture and I learned allot from these videos.
-
The journey is amazing. Enjoy each step! Good luck with the rest of the 30 day take off.
-
What kind of issues are you having inverting?
-
I am starting it too. It has been a while since I have consistently poled, so trying to get back into a routine.
-
Exciting, both of you!! I use the same type of program personally when I have had to take time off and need to “start over”. 🙂
-
I was doing good but, I didn’t do yesterday. So I am restarting again. I’m also using other pole fitness exercises as well. I love studio Veena but sometimes I need a little more kick. I’m starting an exercise plan as well for my days. I have figured out I have to plan my exercise and my homework, cooking, Ect. Lists are my friends lol. I like to use as many pole and non pole exercise and when I’m stressed I free dance for a couple of songs. I guess my goal is going to be getting through these 30 days first. I also want to find some stretching routines to go along with what I am doing.
-
I have half been doing it. Doing some of the exercises and then doing some I learned from another studio. Debating if I should start over and fully do the Veena exercises. I actually set out a list as well because I like lists lol. So 30 Day Take Off with some flexibility training involved.

Hey.. I’m going to join you on the 30 day take off. I’m a beginner and new to this site. As long as you start is all that matters 🙂
-
Hi! You’ll find stretching routine in the stretching section or routine section 😊
-
Whats the best way to fit a stretch in everyday? What flexibility should I start with daily? One of my goals besides to be generally stronger was to increase flexibility I’ve joined the 2015 flexibility challenge. I have so much I want to work on. I feel like if I shoot high I’ll at lease do a bit of it. Honest-fully I love working out. I’m also trying to prepare myself to go to Vegas in September for Pole Expo.

For me, soon as I wake up or before bed. Stretch while my music going. Lol if I go to the gym on lunch break, I sit in the sauna and stretch on the bench in there or sit in an open v split while watching tv or reading something with it between my legs where I can lean forward and relax into it. ♢♢♢

Hey there. I’m the new kid on the block:) Sounds like you’ve got some challenges but are very determined:) Like that you physically plan out your workouts. Seems like it would help out alot.

Day 6! Haven’t been doing every video but already seeing a difference. I use some of the training I learned from my old studio. I have been using a seated spin as my indicator. Before starting the program I couldn’t really do seated spin anymore. Now I can do a full spin using two hands, or a quarter of a one handed spin (on my dominant side anyways). I haven’t worked on the other spins I learned at the studio. Waiting to get more of my strength back. By what I loved from the tips from lesson 6 was not to compare myself to others. I know I have done that before. So now I need to just make sure I am acknowledging my own progress, no matter how small it may seem.

How are you ladies doing so far? I am re-evaluating the 30 day takeoff. I know its a great program but I am one to get distracted easily. I haven’t done all the videos each day which feels a bit like failing at what I should be doing. I think I may switch to my own routine of 3x week pole work/strength training and 1 day flexibility training. Maybe if I create my own schedule (but watching videos that correspond) I will be able to stay on track. Thinking of doing warm up video, some stretches, the strength training routine video, a few pole moves, and then stretch again. This would be 3x a week. Then one day doing the splits training videos as my flexibility training.
-
Why have you not been doing all the videos?
-
A combination of attention span and doing some things I learned from my old studio. Also, still need to get the bands and foam roller.
-
I would suggest doing everything listed, they are listed for a reason, the band is something that’s easy to find and cheap, the roller can be skipped if you want, but once you have one you’ll wonder why you didn’t get one sooner. The exercises done with the bands are very important for pole.
-
I will restart the program. Would you advise to only do the program or can I add things as well? (Other strength and stretch moves).
-
Yep, you can always add to it!
-
When are you restarting we can start again together maybe. Kinda be accountable for each other. I also am adding other exercises to the 30 day take off as well. My issue is time management, with school, work, my kids and going to the gym. Today I have Bikini Body and Pole 2 at the Studio. 🙂 I would love an accountability partner though because my time at the gym has decreased and that’s why I joined. I was told great things about this program and I think we can do it 🙂
-
I hit the restart today but don’t need to redo the “Getting Started” lessons. So I did day 1 today. When are you restarting?
-
My day one would start tomorrow from when I hit the restart. I’m kind of glad of that I went to the Studio and my but is exhausted. I like how the video show in the order that you need them so I want to start tomorrow. We can still motivate each other though. 🙂 Great job at restarting so quickly I would have but honest-fully I’m a little wiped from my hour at the gym. I’ll start my day one and then post here after I get it done.
-
Hope it is going well for you. I am doing much better this time around. However, I skipped the intro day since I already watched it and then did a rest day with the tasks but didn’t watch the video since I remembered it from before, and now my 30 day takeoff is out of sync. It says day 2 but I am on day 4. Oh well. I am also trying to not to get ahead of myself. Been practicing some knee tucks and feel I could invert again (at least the basic one). Trying not to yet though. It is so hard waiting but I know it will be for the best.

I’m doing alright with the Take off. I’ve started foam rolling everyday which is helping with my flexibility goals. I’ve learned I need to do a warm up and stretch everyday I do other conditioning exercises and stretching every day. I’m on day two as of now or that is what is showing so I am going to try and stay with what it says. I’m debating on going to my gym today but I have homework as well. I’m hoping I will have time to go to the Studio today and a bit of stretching.
