Welcome! I’m glad you found the site and pole dancing!! Pole is the best therapy that I’ve found!!

[RoxyPink]

I’m sure Fleur ha s a bunch of great exercises!! I hope she chimes in. She showed me one using the pole and a resistance band. It’s a simple exercise. maybe i’m just having a blonde moment but can’t for the life of me figure out how to explain it. LMAO!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Anything that can be lifted into like the tg lift, sm lift even just lifting into an invert…it takes crazy strength and control!!

[RoxyPink]

I think the easiest way to do it is to…

1. place bottom hand as close to the floor as you can
2. place top hand into twisted grip position
3. turn hips to face the ceiling (feels like your doing a back bend)
4. Kick up

now…I think doing it this way allows you to get the feel for what your body is supposed to do and since your hips are already facing the ceiling they naturally get into the right position. Once you can kick up from here then repeat but move your hands a bit higher up the pole..rinse repeat until you are standing when you go to get into the move..

I actually used this same method when I started working on lifting into the tg! It sounds kind of elementary but I think it really is a great way to get started with the tg…and your not far off the ground so no real danger or crashing!

Welcome!! We do have a few guys on here that share the love of pole!! I personally don’t know of any in the states…but I’m sure there are some comps in CA! I hope you post some vids so we can see your moves!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I actually believe that it isn’t the person who pole dances or is in the sex industry that is exploited…it’s the consumer! I mean seriously what other industries can you manipulate people into paying you so easily….I don’t think it’s a bad thing…it’s great business. But I also think that there are responsible and irresponsible ways to conduct it.

I personally love knowning that if there is something I want to do or buy all I have to do is work my dance magic on the hubbs! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Is that wrong? lol

I think it takes a lot of confidence and strength to get on a stage (or set) and sell what you got…

I hate the talk about it being demeaning and such….and the same goes for the talk about women who are stay-at-home moms.. Isn’t feminism about women having the choice to do what they want? If I want to dance on stage or stay at home with my kids…who cares! Sorry if this seems random but I get my "panties in a knot" over this topic

[RoxyPink]

I think for some men it’s like we are taking their fantasy away when we start pole dancing…don’t get me wrong I think most guys would love to have a gf or wife that pole dances…but say for the guy who likes to occasionally go to the strip club (because he thinks he is being bad) to watch lovelies dancing around a pole, having a pole at home may lessen the "naughty" aspect.

Does he not like strip clubs either? What part dosen’t he like? the sexiness??

So I got the seal of approval to go….so Karol & LIttle C I’m all in!! Just let me know what time Friday you want to head out! Are we all going to ride together?? I’m soooo excited!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

i have to haul my stage, so we can either ride together in your car or you and caroline can ride up with me in tow in my car with my stage.. its totally up to you!

I was either gonna ride with you or C! Either way works for me! Hubs is going to be using the cadi for some stuff around the house!

[RoxyPink]

have you tried the outside leg hang climb (not sure what it’s called)??? that one is a killer for me and works both sides!

1. chopper on the right side, hook your outside leg
2. pull yourself up (hand above your hooked leg) as if you were trying to get into apprentice
3. now you’re on your left side
4. chopper on the left side
5. repeat til you’re at the top!

I’ve been seeing this more and more lately and it’s on the top of my list of stuff to work on when my cast comes off. I just saw runnergirl do it in her newest vid and my jaw was on the floor the whole time.

I believe it’s called a spider climb…and it is killer. But it’s great for keeping both sides of the body strong!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I’ so jealous Chelcie!!! I would love to go…but not gonna happen! lol

[RoxyPink]

I also do the footlock to pole sit…but if I’m up high enough I’ll do a flag dismount to pole sit

[RoxyPink]

My kids love playing on mine and I actually encourage it because it is so physically demanding…of course they are only 2 and 6….but I do have a step-daughter who is 16 and when she was living with us she would "practice" with me and I would teach her spins and such…now of course I didn’t do the traditional "sexy" dancing but I never tried to hide it. We believe that we should be very open about sexuality in our household…that is not saying that my kids are exposed to things they shouldn’t be…but we don’t hide it either! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
