Questions from a newbie

Amanda Donovan started this discussion · 7/23/2012

Ok,im new here and have a few questions 1) i have a portable pole, is it alright to not take it down each use? Can it just stay up? 2) i check out the lessons (beginingers) they are like two minutes, should you do more on your own? Are they just showing you how to do them properly? Also, should you just do one lesson a day? i really do not know how to plan out a workout. The beginingers ones, at least the ones i looked at just seem to be warm ups. Any suggustions? Thanks a bunch

1. Yes, you can leave your pole up, but you should check to see if you need to tighten or adjust it every time before you dance on it. Sometimes the longer you leave the pole up the harder it can be to take down, but if you don' t need to travel with it it's, not such a big deal. 2. For the lessons please watch all of the "Getting started" lessons first. These lessons tell you how to use the lessons and how to organize your workouts. All lessons are placed in the order in which you should do them. Read all descriptions for each lesson. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. 🌸 Here are the Getting Started Links....

Thank you, i guess i should have asked. Does it hurt to take it down evey day? We had issues with getting the adaptor out. It was up in one room for a week or two. And then we decided to change rooms, we had to switch pieces and the adaptor would not budge. My husband did eventually get it out, but i do no want the adaptor to get stuck, as when he goes away, i wont be able to get it out myself. Cheers

What kind of pole do you have?
Veena · 7/23/2012
If it's an xpole they are meant to be removed often if need. 🌸

they actually should be removed (any tension pole should) to let the house resettle from time to time.
