I ran across this blog post recently that I thought had some great advice on this topic, and I just wanted to share.:

This is a great, and thouroughly entertaining thread!
I have an undergrad in Cinematography/Filmmaking. But I didn't want to move to LA after college and realized that film wasn't my try passion.
So now, like SashaMae, I'm also a Licensed Massage Therapist. I work full-time and have been doing so for 4 years and loving it. And needless to say, I'm not always open about my goals with people, lest they get the wrong impression about me and assume things.
A lot my my regulars know that I'm a dancer and that I'm persuing aerial arts, but I tend to leave out the pole stuff. But my co-workers and friends know and are supportive!I specialize in Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy – which is a modality in which I use my feet to do massage while I hold bars on the ceiling of my treatment room. (I love it!) So they were the 1st poles that I used! And then I became interested in pole dance.
I also teach at my practice's massage therapy school. I am hoping to become a personal trainer, so that I can help further educate my clients, that have chronic issues or pain, on methods and ways that strengthen the muscles that might help them improve their quality of life. I'd also like to own a pole studio one day – I just love working with the human body and helping people live healthier, happier lives! And I love dance so, i suppose time will tell.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I just messaged you to see if they are still available. 🙂

I'd really love to try a 40mm! I'm thinking about getting one also, so thanks for the post and the input everyone!
I have the 45mm at home and remember being at my instructors studio- which had 50mm poles – and having a lot of difficulty. When I got home I'd practice on my 45mm, and I could do much more on mine than on the larger ones!!
oh, and I'm 5' 2", with fairly small hands.

YES!! I can't even stretch without my boy trying to "do yoga" with me and get in some chin scrating time!

She's actually going to be on SNL this coming weekend – that was fast!

Awww, wish I could have gone too! There's always next year!!

Oh wow! Those are awesome!!

I also recommend looking up videos of rope mallakhamb (using rope instead of wooden pole). Similar to aerial silks. Impressive!
Thanks for the suggestion! That’s pretty awesome too! And a lot like silks!

That’s great advice Veena! I’ve been trying to find a schedule that works for me and my body. I think that I’m adopting the 5 minute rule, I tend to push myself too hard for a while and then I end up having to take days or even a week off because my body is just too tired.
5 minute rule it is!! -
Just a little note on the massage thing – epsom salts, eating well, enough sleep etc. will all help.
Since it sounds like you’re on a budget, but a massage here and there might help – see if there are any massage schools in your area that offer student clinics.
I’m a licensed massage therapist that works for a massage practice, but we also have a school. All of our students have to complete so many hours of massage under the supervision of the school before they can graduate (most schools are like this and I had to do the same.) Many times you can get a 60 minute massage in the "student massage clinic" for anywhere from $10-$30! Granted, most students don’t have the knowledge yet to be able to address specific issues, but those massages are great for just flushing the body and muscles out! I would look into it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif xoxo -

Also fellow SV member Stephanie (known as SapphireCatzEye on youtube) has a few videos that show some stretches with the pole, I believe.
