Welcome to the site!! 🥂 🥂 There are lots of girls on here in your same situation. You can definitely begin working on upper body strength and flexibility before hand. It will help you tons. Here are a few of Veena exercise vids she posted on a few things. Scope out the other threads, there a are a bunch with helpful tips that I can really remember at the moment, lol. I personally find Push Ups & Leg Lifts (while laying on your back) very helpful as well as the moves in the videos below. Hope that helps & Im sure other girls (and guys) will be able to give you some tips as well 👍 Shoulders: http://www.studioveena.com/video/gallery/medium-2009-02-23 Wrists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8QzZnFkXn8 Stretching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZMEGqdgGRs

Thanks so much for posting, I've started doing push-ups because I have no upper body strength and that seemed kind of a given 😂 .. I'll watch those vids for sure!

Hello PoleJunkies, Small world, I've spoken with you before as well 😉 A year ago when I lived in Camrose.. 😂 Small world
Hi and welcome! I wish I had thought about preparing for pole classes before I started, I thought my upper body stregth was better than it turned out to be! Lol. Deffinately try doing push-ups and some handstands against walls - this can help with your shoulder muscle building aswell as getting used to holding your own weight. Hope you enjoy it here! 🙂 -x-
Hey hey hey! 🤸 😀
