Skin hurt and move name

Goofy started this discussion · 8/12/2009

Hello, yesterday I did the move of this link http://www.poleexercise.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/themes/poleexercise/images/blog/lucy-gemini-pink-700.jpg could anybody tell me the name of this move? The link says gemini but gemini, I think, is this: http://www.poleexercise.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/themes/poleexercise/images/moves/gemini.jpg I don't know really... 😕 Another thing... When I did it, the skin of my legs (in contact with the pole) hurts, is it normal? It hurts me too when I do sit position... http://www.poleexercise.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/themes/poleexercise/images/moves/sit.jpg I'm suppose that it's normal, because I only have 1 week practice pole, but it hurts quite a lot... I hope you understand my poor english... 😳 Thank you 🫡

Some call this move the gemini but some call it a scorpio...depends on where in the world you are. I find it easier to go by inside leg hang and outside leg hang. Yes it is VERY normal for it to hurt! That is one of the prices we pay to pole! Eventually once your skin "toughens" it won't hurt anymore. Well done if you were doing this after only a week! Please be careful and not rush learning new moves as if you don't have the strength yet you may get hurt! Hope you share your progress!! 😀

I was just working on a neat and educated response and you beat me to it Roxy! LOL. I sometimes get the Gemini and Scorpio confused so I go by the leg hang like you said. If the outside leg is hooked I call it a Gemini. If the inside leg is hooked I call it a Scorpio...I think..... 😕 Goofy your english is fine and that glorious pain you're feeling is some good old pole burn. It's normal and hopefully will get better with time....although I'm still waiting myself LOL 😉

Yeah, the skin will hurt...but it does get better 😀 I call the first move the gemini and the second the scorpio....but inside/outside leg hook/hang is a lot more descriptive. 👍

Ok, thank you very much everybody 😁 Well, I hope my skin don't hurt forever 🙄 Roxy, I'm careful, no worry, I have a little strenght because I practice aerial silks and trapeze... even so, I don't have enough strenght, I need more as to aerial silk, trapeze and, of course, pole... but my legs have more strength than my arms, because that, It's less difficult for me hook leg... (I'm horseback rider a lot of time) Thank you, Sissy, but may english is very bad, everybody knows me think that... I search on the web, while I write the post, and, so that, I don't make a lot of mistakes 😜
