Hey Everyone!!! I got the X Pole for Christmas and have been trying it out everyday. I just feel like I have absolutly no upper body strength. I am a bigger girl so I have a lot of weight to support but I cant do anything. 🙁 Right now Ive jus been dancing around it! haha. If theres any tips anyone can give me to build my upper body please do so!! I am doing this for fitness and am not trying to be a proffesional, I just want to get on the pole!!! I also do In-Home Romance Parties and I wanted to be able to show girls a couple of simple moves to go along with the parties!! Thanks!! <3 April

Welcome! Veena has great videos and just practice practice practice! It will come with time. Spins are not so much about strength as they are getting your body in the proper position and letting physics take over.

YAAAAA!! I'm from Jersey too!!!! In Morris County 🙂 Don't worry about what you can't do yet...just work on one thing at a time. I lost quite a bit of weight while doing this so far...so there's a perk 😉 Would love to have a jersey pole jam with some jersey girls 🙂 Welcome!! Just work on your spins first and the strength will come in time...that's what worked for me 😉
