Hi Dwiizi and Welcome!
I'm new here too (new to ALL of it. lol) My only dance 'lessons' were in 7th grade for 6 wks of Modern Dance; so you're really fortunate to already know a lot of REAL dance! I feel like a dork all alone in my own pole room.. lol
I'm starting week 3 and feel SO MUCH STRONGER. Veena's lessons are the best thing I've ever done/purchased. Everyone here is TOTALLY supportive and helpful.
That being said: (AGAIN.. LOL, I'm starting to feel like Sally O'Mallyj

@amcut – lol… can you say "Bible Belt"? 😉 Just think of poor little me in this 100K population city. NO STUDIO at all! 🙁
You know… John the Baptist got beheadded 'for a dance'. 😉 *rolls eyes* Now I'm not being offensive to any Chistians, Baptists, etc. Just a fact. Highly religious population… Fewer pole studios.
I used to be a massage therapist and in many places THAT was (still is) considered bein' a 'ho'. ROFLMAO. *rolls eyes again*

2003 scope surgery for torn maniscus on left knee. It was better but very riddled w/arthritis.
Last August (in a pinch before divorce was final and still had insurance) I wimped out and actually left the hospital at 6 am rather than go under the knife for Knee Replacement. LOL..
BUT.. that being said, I really don't regret it with all the hip reacalls! AND.. building the muscle strength is really helping. Until this, I was litterally hobbling, avoiding using, etc. I have lived the last five years on some pretty painful shots of Synvisc every 9 months or so. BUT..( poopy long doctor story) – I got screwed out of my last one which was supposed to be last September.
I got a little fold up mobility scooter for malls and flea markets, etc. Really can't walk long distances. So…. I'm keepin the faith and I have to tell you –
THIS is the BEST think I've done for it. IT still rubs bone on bone, (or maybe I should say Bone IN Bone, after seeing the computer ex rays) but the exercises and tippy toes are building a lot of support surrounding and it helps immensely.
I just got mad a few months ago and decided to stop taking pain meds every day (hydrocone/viccoden) and am finding that I seem overall to be better for that. (I'm convinced that Celebrex for arthritis actually was causing my fibromyalgia – stopped taking – fibro gone.)
Hope that wasn't too graphic – but you asked. 😉 🙂 Thanks. I TOLD you I was a physical wreck a few months back. LOL :):)

Hi Laney.. sounds like OA. But.. eh.. doctors.. pffft. 🙂
I started years ago w/ torn maniscus, had surgery.. pics showed LOTS of 'pink' all over of OA inflamation.. so.. It was better, but not over. NOW.. the femer cuts into the tibia w/every step. It was cool to see on computer tho. An ever deepening slice into the bone joint on bottom..
BUT.. :):) since starting THIS (and what I wanted to actuallyTELL you.. 🙂 – supporting muscle is EVERYTHING! (A doctor actually did have me trying some little puny leg lifts years ago but it just hurt too much, so I never believed it would work).. BUT THIS .. Veena's workout is GREAT..
DO IT and just do what you CAN do. It helps. .it really does. I feel like a totally new person/body. (and if you missed it.. I'm 57. 😉

I watched your video and commeted. 🙂

It's a renewable monthly membership as I understand it. Best $20 a month I EVER spent!

I saw and also wanted to try the ones with the 'tie' on the side.. but don't remember who posted them or made them.. ?? Anyone ??

Okay. Actually, the way you described it in your first post, I was thinking how it reminded me of the pain from fibromyalgia. It's not the skin, not deep in the muscles – it always seems somewhere in between. About the only thing that helps (aside from pain killers) is a hot tub. And that would only relieve it for a little while.
Maybe your posture was slightly 'off'' during your biking. Back pain is funny (not ha ha funny). Sometimes a pulled muscle can feel like you're paralyzed and/or seriously damaged something important.
Hope you get to feeling better – most likely you will. It'll just take a few days.

FINALLY.. a + for the menopausal crowd. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

This was such a GREAT question. I was wondering about that too.
I thought it was just cause of being older with a little thinner skin! Thanks for the 'hope'!

Thanks Veena and all..
Squats. Yeah.. Hardee Har Har. Okay.. I knoooowww. I'm doing Partial squats and I hope at some point (once my thighs are out of 'shock') that my knee will have enough muscle support to actually get down there.
This is the ONE issue that really gets me down so I don't think about it and just see what progerss I CAN make and keep on HOPIN'! 🙂
If all else fails… I'll start a video series for the Knee Challenged; once I figure out what I'm gonna do.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif I may have to make some weird allowances for a lot of moves with this broken down old knee – and it may take me YEARS.. but I'm not givin' up! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Absolutely correct. I was a massage therapist for several years and if you will exercise a little MORE (same muscle group that's sore) it will somewhat halt the lactic acid 'burn'.

I'm new here AND to pole fitness. It's great here.
WELCOME!
