Golly, as someone who can spend a lot of time teaching I can only recommend taking a day off in between.
In fact it’s a necessity. I’m completely shagged after teaching about 5 or so hours this week, in addition to working on my own stuff. My body aches. Having long bath type aching. OK, so I’m nearing 40….Anyway, take days off in between at this point, it is important. Your body will thank you later.
Take the downtime to stretch and work on strength work rather than pole. Your body will thank you later.
Especially if you’re over 30, it’s a lot harder at this age than for an early 20’s woman.So, take your time, enjoy some down time in between. Be very careful of your shoulders (in particular) and ensure you’re not going above your ability. Everyone goes through the "flinging" stage in the first 3 – 4 months, this is the most dangerous as you think you can do so much more than you really can. By flinging, you can incur awful injuries and badly damage important joints, like shoulders, wrists and elbows. I know I sound like a mother / teacher, but I am and I see this every week. take you time and you’ll enjoy pole for far longer.
