I'm so excited and sad too. My instagram is private :( I'm still participating though!
Veena · 3/29/2015
Yep you can totally still participate! The public IG is needed for the program we use to randomly select the giveaway.
Veena · 3/29/2015
Oh in all my efforts to include everything I forgot a big THANK YOU to AllysonKendal again for making the creative!!!!!!! 💜☔️
Runemist34 · 3/29/2015
Super excited to get into this one! I'm also really curious what you'll do for the ladies who cannot do flags, or inverts, or shoulder mounts... but I get the feeling you've totally got something up your sleeve ;)
Veena · 3/29/2015
With the Veena Method there's always another option to work on 😎
ambience24z9338 · 3/30/2015
What if you're not able to do some of these?
Beccaf87 · 3/30/2015
Excited! But not on Instagram so will just not compete. Haven't tried some of these moves though, so will see how that turns out.
Veena · 3/30/2015
Do the best you can, please read all descriptions because you find info there. I will have multiple options for most levels. 😊
Milena Stoyanova · 3/30/2015
This will be a great challenge for me to get back on my feet:-))) I will post only here, as usual.
AizaBelle · 3/30/2015
Weeeee! Just what I need!! I've previously downloaded an abs workout app but got bored with it ahaha. This SV April Challenge looks way more interesting--I'm in!
epsilonte · 3/30/2015
Looks like fun. :) Probably not gonna really participate - by now I guess you know how bad I am with this "do something every day" stuff*... xD But I'm gonna let this inspire me and do as many as I can manage. :) *I hope this will get better as it gets warmer, I'm just too lazy to warm my pole up every day so I don't slide down. So I always think "ok, I'll do two tomorrow, or three" and yeah, 2 weeks later the challenge is over and I still didn't do a thing. xD
AllysonKendal · 3/30/2015
Yay!!!! I'm on vacation now until the 4th but since I made the graphic I had a sneak peak at the list... So I pre-recorded the first 4 days! (But if I find a pole to flag on or knee tuck on I'll re-record, I just didn't want to be stuck) Super excited for another challenge.
Veena · 3/31/2015
Day 1! ☔️ - Knee Tuck, using side pole hold http://instagram.com/p/05gXG3JAZh/ Here's the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5414fe69-a7f8-4f31-92fc-19130a9aa0eb Perform 5-20 reps and 1-3 sets BOTH SIDES While it may seem impossible or easy depending on your level of fitness, this is a foundational move for pole and should be part of your pole sessions. Learning how to properly hold the pole will save your shoulders and back! 💪 If lifting both feet off the floor is not yet possible keep one on the floor and lift the opposite until you become stronger. Exhale as you lift. 😤 Bottoms by @kupmykakez post your clip daily to win a weekly giveaway and don't forget to follow them!!!🎉

https://instagram.com/p/08BoGJm39U/ Day 2! Hahah! I just realized today is not April 2...and yesterday was not April 1...😄 Oh well, looks like I'm a wee bit ahead of the game. I'm new to IG (I seriously joined just to participate more seriously this month) so I'm just figuring out how to copy the clips over here correctly, doh. Anyway, flag was freaking hard. This clip was actually my first time even getting up in half flag. I can't say it enough: this is hard!!! Thanks for the challenge, Veena!

Here is my day 1! I forgot to post it here last night ;) https://instagram.com/p/089um7RGoM/?taken-by=runemist34 I'll be getting day 2 done later today... I was working on it yesterday, and the underarm grip HURT SO MUCH!! I'm going to have to work on it. Pole dancers must be masochists, eh?

PolarGirl · 4/2/2015
I figured I'd hit stay one day ahead so I'm still posting everyday. Maybe on the last day I'll try to come up with something else to throw down. Anyway: Day 3...body rolls!!! Please ignore my boyfriend making fun of me and one of my male roommates walking by in the background. I don't have the most pole conducive environment lol :) https://instagram.com/p/0_88RSG31M/

Here is my Day 3. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough even for the easiest version of the Flag:-(((( https://www.studioveena.com/videos/edit/551ead02-4c74-483c-a7e7-55b80a9aa0eb
