Anything with elbow pit grip feels so far away right now lol. But the shoulder conditioning felt good, thank you!
Well, thankfully, we don’t use elbow grip a ton! ? It’s one if my least favorite grips.
I didn't feel quite done for the day so I went through all of these. Now I see how people can do shoulder mounts! I'd wince every time I saw video of someone using them because I've dealt with chronic pain in my shoulders. I won't be ready for shoulder mounts for a while but now they make sense. Those grips are solid! The shoulder girdle exercises are going to be a huge help.
Good. I’m glad it helps clear things up!
Day 1 Wow ? my shoulders by the end , I managed 3 sets of 16 on the pole rows , then the rest I managed 2 sets of 16 , but by the time I got to inverted shrugs oh my , my shoulders were burning ??? all good ? ? loved it
??
I’m feeling really stressed out at the organization of this. Does each day have one video I could follow along with?
Hi there! Could you further explain what you mean? Please make sure to read all descriptions. This is an introduction day to help you familiarize you with some important grips we'll use. In all of my programs all need to do is watch the main player, the videos will autoplay for you, like a full class. If you click on the NEXT lesson button, you'll see day 2 to understand what I'm talking about. If you ONLY want to watch full length class like videos check out my Veena's Classroom section https://www.studioveena.com/categories/veenas-classroom/ Or use the Pole Combos and Routines videos https://www.studioveena.com/categories/quick-lessons/ Here's more information on how you can use my site https://www.studioveena.com/discuss/discussion/3-ways-to-use-studioveena-com/ Also this "start here" WELCOME video maybe helpful if you're new to my site https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/start-here-welcome-1564/ Let me know if you need more help :)
Misshazelsworld, did you find my answer helpful?
after 1 week break I started the intermediate program. this was a great introduction. I noticed the last 2 shoulder conditioning were the most difficult for me. I also started the 30 day heel program. I love all your tutorials. Thank you.
Yay! Shoulders are important so it sounds like that's a good place to focus on.
Rewatching the tips for energy made me remember just how small your kids were 😭 Today, I struggled with the shoulder press, it felt foreign to me, also, if I don't actually watch myself with the Inverted shrugs, I lose form completely. Great 1st day back for me.
Thanks! :*
Oh I must have forgotten to add it!!!! Thank you. I'll do it now
Where can I find this "energy tips" video you mentioned? Or did I understand something wrong? :)
Starting over with intermediate! The thing I most needed to hear in this lesson was "give it 10 minutes." Motivation has been rough lately between pain flares/perimenopause and the intense summer heat. Also I was reminded just how strong my side pole hold has become. . . Fan legs are a breeze.
Glad you tried the 10 mins! Yay for strong fan legs ?
