Help! weak hands
Ok I need advice, can anyone tell me what else I can do to help gain strength in my hands? I'm working the 30 day lessons that include the pole hold but I can only keep my feet off the ground 1 second. whew I didn't know my butt was so heavy. anyway should I add more strength training for my hands and fore arms or just stick to Veena's lessons for strong hands and arms? any suggestions will be welcome.

Hi mssoulpole! Your hand strength will improve over time. I'm not sure what day you're on but you'll see hand and forearm strength training in Day 2. If you would like to get started right away here is a link for the hand strength lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b362ac-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be
​Keep in mind that its not just the hands holding you up, you should also be squeezing the pole near the arm pit and side of torso. Being able to lift up for even 1 second is so common for new dancers!! All of the strength work is meant to be challenging. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif If you feel like the hands are really holding you back try wearing rubber dish washing glove for extra grip, until you become stronger. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
