What to do when?

Afrodcya started this discussion · 2/2/2012

Hello everyone, I'm finally ready to begin Veena lessons, and it's clear that I should start with the beginner lessons and progress through them one by one. But when exactly should I incorporate the other lessons (stretching, strengthening, and conditioning) and how often? Is there some written directions on when to do what? I'm beginning poling again after about 9 months but I have never done them at home, always in a class setting.

Veena says something general about each section in the "getting started" videos. There you find information on how often you can/should do the exercises in that section :-) Apart from that it all depends on how much time you have and how often you want to work on something and what your training priorities are. In general I like doing strengthening or flexibility training after a pole workout. Sometimes I do light conditioning exercises as a warmup. When I don't pole that day I usually do foam rolling and flexibility training. Maybe that helps a bit. But if you follow Veenas directions there isn't much you can do wrong :-)

If you haven't already try taking a look at the Getting started video for the Stretching and Conditioning section. This will tell you when and how to include these in your workouts. If you have questions feel free to ask. You may want to look through the comments on the Getting started videos for ideas. Others may have already asked the same question you have. 🌸

Thank you guys. I'm very excited to put my pole back up and start over.
