In the past year i have gained over 50 lbs and havent worked out AT ALL. I started diet and light workout last monday and was wondering if it is better to wait to start pole lessons when i get stronger in a couple of months (and am a little lighter to move around).........or just go for it now????? overwhelmed !!!!

I'm not an expert but I say go for it! you will get stronger using the pole as part of your workout. Just use proper form and technique and take rest days. You will get in shape while you are having fun. I've seen some large beautiful girls work the pole like nobody's business. girls who are 250 or more. if they can do it then why can't the rest of us who want to shed a few pounds.
Do Veena's 30 day take off plan. that will start you off right.
I agree with Robinb! You should not be "waiting to do something till you're thinner or stronger," you should be doing what you want to do, NOW, and if you get thinner or stronger as a result, and you want to be those things, then, bonus! Veena's lessons will give you lots of beginner work, as well as conditioning for the pole, so you don't need to worry about "getting up to it," you can start doing it. And yes, the 30 day take off is excellent. Work at your pace, and at what you can do, and you'll see major improvement!

No, no, no! Don't wait! Veena's lessons are designed for everyone!!! I recommend starting with the transitions and simple combo's - wait on spins and climbs - Veena advises this in the intro video. There are so many awesome things you can be doing right now that will help with health goals and make you feel super sexy.
Thanks guys for all of your encouragement. I will take a stab at it. WISH ME LUCK!
Definitely don't wait! Go for it now. You will also lose weight while you learn pole! Don't forget to do some cardio!

Oh! don't wait. Use pole to get where you want to go. I thought I needed to get more muscle or get stronger to do pole but I was wrong. Pole got me stronger and more flexible. You can use other types of exercises if you like but don't think that you need one before the other. Just do it.... NOW........ Let us know how we can help.... I wish I had before and after pictures to show you. Just take your time and when you get frustrated, just visit us here and we will be here to listen...
you guys are so supportive thank you so much everyone!
Just repeating what everyone else has said ,lol! Go for it! I lost 40 lbs my first year of pole dancing. I could not believe how good I looked and felt. I have more muscle now then I have had my entire life!
Agreed! I finally broke down and bought my pole today! Can't wait..so excited and ready for my transformation. The ladies on here are so inspiring!
