I do flexibility daily now for about 30 mins or more a day. I do pole practice 2-5 days a week. Just depends on my schedule. I usually practice for 35-90 mins for pole.
wow!!! I hope I can figure out a way to do that with school! The joy of being a full time student! hah ....

I pole about three times a week, I walk about 4 miles a day mon to Friday and fit in a some flexibility and strength stuff as and when. I used to try and pole 4 times a week but found this a bit too much for me 3x works out fine, and I try to pole for an hour to an hour and a half each session.
haha luvlee thats crazy!!! I need to start sucking it up and do that!!!! hahaha geeeeez ... though i am just starting to get back into poling again and i was never that good yet but I want to start training hard after the first level at my new studio.... though i am the least flexible person in the world!!!!! FeeDen that is still quite a bit!!!! good for u!
I just started and I have been working on the pole about 2 to three times per week for at least an hour and a helf. The time goes by so quickly! Flexibility every other morning.
if im lucky 2x a week! this doesnt including flexibility training either. that's hard to fit in also
im a busy mommy, school and work so its hard to fit pole and flexy in!

About two to three times per week. half hr. warm up, and 1 hr. pole practice/dance. In between that is mainly stretching.
I practice pole 4-5 days a week with flexibility stretching every day (switching between back mobility and splits). Each day is about 1-2 hours.
pixi lou! how do u only practice that much and ur that good!!! and flexible???? did u dance previously like any other form of dance? how long have u been poling for?

If I'm lucky I get in one hour of pole a week! I really miss being able to take regular classes! :( It's tough to see so many people who get to play so much every week, so jelly!!
wow thanks! i was a gymnast for about 15 yrs so i think that does help. ive been poling a year and 5 months. my hamstrings and glutes are horribly inflexible tho, hips rnt great either. being in my 30s, ill take any progress lol

I was in gymnastics for only 10 years. I also did ballet, cheerleading, drill team, and competition cheer dance. I am currently looking into Lyrical dance classes for adults. :)
i pole 3 times a week i think ...depends on my work, if im super busy i could go 2 weeks without practice...which makes me soo sad, always do a warm up freestyle focus on my grip and body movement, to get my self loose ...ill mix it up with floor work and strength tricks. threw out the week. i have just started to stretch every day for about 30 min. my pole sessions vary..if im having a good day i can go for as long as an hour and a half. on a bad day 30 min. i need to get a better system down to get more consistent
I generally try to get in as much pole as I can... sometimes this results in 5 days a week, and sometimes only 2 days a week... but I also try to keep in mind that I'm rock climbing now, and I also sometimes participate in the fighting practice for my LARP each Sunday. And also that my work is hell on my body. I stand for 5-8 hours each shift, and while they may not be often, it seems to really drain me of energy. My goal is to get my practicing a little more consistent, and to stretch far more often (it's happening maybe once a week, these days, and that is not enough!).
I average twice a week with pole practice, sometimes three. I do however take a bootcamp fitness workout class, as well as privates with a strength fitness trainer. This has helped tremendously with stamina and strength to have better pole practices and accomplishments.I do neglect stretching and flexibility which hinders some pole tricks/accomplishments.
Oh, my bootcamp fitness is twice a week, with once a week private. I stopped when I got horrible flu in January and will be starting privates again in April. My schedule is usually: Bootcamp class on Monday and Friday with private on Thursday. Pole practice on Tuesday and Saturday or Sunday (or both). Right now I'm taking a pole class on Saturdays which has helped tremendously in comparison to working on my own at home. Then when I make time, do some strength workout at home on over-the-door pullup bar and ab work, which I really need!
Right now i practice mondays and fridays for about 90-120 min. The first two weeks i got the pole i tried 4-5x a week and realized i would injure myself if i kept that up. I would like to work up to mwf eventually. I am trying to figure out a good schedule now because i am used to working out 4-5x a week but it was leaving me too sore for pole. upper/lower lifting split isnt meshing as well as i had hoped.
I pole about 2x week (~1.5hrs) right now, mainly because I'm doing aerials 4x week (1.25-2hrs). I stretch 3x week (~1hr). Soon I hope to flip my schedule around and go to pole 3x (~2 hrs) and aerials 3x (1.25-2hrs).
wow!!! u guys are all amazing!
i pole about 4x a week but i focus on different tricks at each class or i work on the opposite side. pole is definitely a quality over quantity type of workout. when i pole less during the week, i am either working on flexibilty, cardio, etc. zoraya started off with 1 pole lesson a week along with a clean diet...she's pretty amazing.
