i love the idea of a special bag for pole! i’ll bet you could sell a bunch of them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
-
i have wondered about that too… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

go to pandora.com & type in "60’s" or your favorite artist from that time, random stuff from that time should come up & it will most likely be stuff you wouldn’t have thought of on your own, but i’ll bet you will like a lot of it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
i have a aerosmith channel, jimi hendrix channel & a journey channel on my pandora && those are my favorite ones to use when i pole! mostly its stuff i would have never even thought of (& some stuff i have never heard) but it great!! -
Someone should make cellulite "fashinable" so most of women would be happy and to bad for the 10% left https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I got some too even when i was really skinny but that’s a fact that man barely notice it even when you show them. So we all should learn to be happy with our body. And then learn how to use photoshop for our picture on the beach https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gifOMG yes!!! i wish someone would! lol!
anyone who is feeling bad about something on their bodies needs to google "celebrity before and after photoshop" && you will totally feel way better about any little flaws you may have https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif since most of us look at celebrities as having perfect bodies & skin seeing them before PS is a life changing thing:cheers:

i have had my pole for about 8 months & i still will not pole in front of anyone!

i have a stainless pole & have never gotten wrist burn either. my mom has a powder coated pole & she did get wrist burt at first. it may have been because she was not holding the pole correctly at first, or because of the powder coating isn’t so slick https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif less pole burn = more happy poling https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

There is another one but I cannot even do it. It helps to have someone hold your ankles when you do it but if you do not have someone you can lock your ankles under something that will hold your weight (a low bar or something). In a kneeling position what you want to do is lower your body to the ground keeping your core straight and then lift yourself back up. When your hams are really strong you can get all the way to the floor and then back up. Typically your hands will be behind your head but when starting out you may want them to keep you from crashing into the floor.
This will give you an idea of the move:

https://www.studioveena.comhttp:://www.elitetrack.com/images/blog/nordic-hamstring-curl.jpgYou will see a huge difference in a very short amount of time with this move. This will give curve to the back of your leg and also will give you that curve from the upper leg into your butt.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif OMG these look crazy!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

Almost there with my middle splits. The side splits are still a long way off. I’m one of those weird ones! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

yay! that is great!!!!

i can do one side more than the other, lol! i can go all the way down with my right leg out in front & only like 3/4 of the way dow with my left leg out front. my center split ( or whatever that one with both legs out) is really sad! lol! i get like 1/2 way down & tip over because i feel like my legs will pop off if i go any lower https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
& speaking of flexibility, i think i "over did" a back bend earlier https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif i was watching my video clips earlier & i was like "wow, my back is pretty bendy these days" && now i’m laying in bed with a sore back thinking i was wrong.. oops https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif -
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif i havent fallen on my face yet but i did hurt my shoulder pretty bad a few months back trying to do moves that were more advanced than i am. glad you are OK https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

SWISS CURL
https://www.studioveena.comhttp:://www.oxygenmag.com/content/oxy113/training_2_swiss.jpg
Target Muscles: hamstrings
Synergist Muscles: gastrocnemius, erector spinaeSet Up: Lie supine on the ground with your knees bent and your heels on the top of an exercise ball. Lift your hips up as high as you can (A).
Action: Roll the ball away from you until your legs are straight but your knees are not locked. Hold for a second (B) and then roll the ball back towards you by bending your knees. Repeat.
If you do not go to the gym at all these are great.
And don’t worry about "bulking up into hulk mode". Women naturally do not have enough testosterone to get huge. The women you see that are like that have cycled steroids or have taken testosterone.
i’m gonna try these too! they look fun!

i pretty much have translucent skin because i am so pale & i have darker hair so i totally have the dark hair follicles too! it used to bother me but it doesn’t anymore, i still have it & no matter what i do it’s gonna be that way so i just wear shorts anyway. i’ve never had anyone say anything to me about it or look at my legs funny so i’m guessing its not as noticeable to everyone else or people just don’t find it to be that odd. so yeah, i think it’s normal https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif don’t let it bother you, you are definitely not the only one with it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

i was thinking about ordering one of these
http://www.thepoledancingshop.com/categories/Pole-Dancing-Poles/Pole-Dancing-Mats/
one of them is 6 inches thick & the other is only 2 inches… i think the 6 inch one would really be best but it’s $335! thats a lot, well to me it is anyway! you can’t really put a price on safety so i’ll probably be saving up for one this it. have any of you ever used this brand of mat before? is it worth the $335? -
OMG that is so cool!
-
oh yay! i <3 FB add me too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

thanks Veena!!!

You can fine injury prevention exercises and stretches here! Right now I have a bunch up in the online lessons specifically for your forearms, the shoulders will be next. I wanted to have the shoulder ones posted already but I haven’t been feeling well lately. How ever…..I already have some full body strength work in the lessons every pole dancers should be doing, because having the proper strength and body positioning is super important. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
yeah… i’m thinking i should have been just a little smarter & taken some more precautions. i am not in "pain" at all & i have not been in pain with this, but i do feel that something isn’t "right" in my arm so i am laying off of it for a while & until i feel like i have had enough time to heal. veena, would you suggest that i wait a few weeks to start doing shoulder exercises too?
-
Veena, i will be watching out for your shoulder exercises

i was trying to do "The Cradle Spin" & i had also tried to do a reverse grab on the same day. like i said i’m not sure if it’s my RC or not but now i’m scared to do anything at all until it feels 100% better! i need to really look into ways to protect those muscles, tendons & parts that i can’t see. does anyone know of any sites that are for pole dance injury prevention? that is something we all really need. @Fleur aren’t you going to school for something like that? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif i think i read that somewhere && that is awesome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif now if you were only in the southeast https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

i’m kinda wondering if i have slightly injured my RC. my right arm has been bothering me for about a week https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif i was attempting to learn a new move & i started to feel a little bit of "pain" in my upper arm/shoulder area. it kinda felt like i was flexing my arm when i wasn’t. this happened last monday (3-13). it’s not bothering me as much today so i’m realllllllly tempted to pole today but i am trying my best to be good & stay off of it for a few more days https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif i haven’t polled since i injured myself because i figured it wouldn’t help things if i don’t let it "heal its self" first.

i have been using macs at home for the last 12 years & i LOVE them!!! i recently got the new 13" unibody MacBook & i love it so much! anytime i ever have to use a PC (like at my old job) i always hate it! once you go Mac, you never go back https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif
-
when i first got my pole my boyfriend hated it! he has warmed up to the idea since then & now he doesn’t care about the pole dancing. he doesn’t like that i post pics & he would shit his pants if he thought i ever had posted videos, lol!
hopefully your man will come around too! -
