Well if you think about it…once on heels 4 to 6" then a 5'4 is now 5'8" or 5'10" and then when one spins and arms are extended over the head, that would be another foot of your body's extension.
In my calculations that is approx 6'8" to 6'10" spinning around the pole and so, for poles to be 7 feet apart is satisfactory but not ideal or excellent.

sorry I didn't spell check "safety"

I learned this at my PFIC course and it stuck with me.
It stuck with me because there is no safety standardization in pole fitness/ pole space for safetry.
I am mentioning it because at a workshop the studio had 10 or 12 poles and my fractured foot was freshly heeled and someone behind me was wearing heals and we spun and of cours connected on the exact bone that was freshly healed. It caused me to have a bruise to the area but not a re-fracture. Then Iimped for a few days and still did my 12hrs shifts.
Some of these studios is just about business and money and to cram as many as they can in their square footage.
-
The thing is that legally poles should be 7' apart minimum and most of them are not. This is dangerous when it's not . Studios also needs "to consider tall body types as they do embrace the fat ones or thicker or voluptuous ones" Sorry as there is not other way to describe it.
Studios want to cram in as many poles in square footage.

@SV I am 5'1/2 " and you blew me away when you said about "building more strenght…" I knew there was a catch. That catch is that I have to work harder than anyone else b/c of height. *gnatts* ohe well…I want the trick and so I gotta go & get it.

This may be helpful. I found it quite educational.

I didn't until I had a shoulder injury, but not so much anymore.
What I do have is a hip clicking sound and this is due to post having kids and depending what angle.
I am sorry that I am no help to you.
Where is your shoulder clicking sound and how often and what are you doing?
-
You may consider water therapy/ exercise in the next little while. Everything is gonna hurt for awhile but don't forget to practice you deep breathing and exhalation as well.

Pole is making leaps & bounds.

Sorry for the confusion :O OOOPS! The Veena Grip is in fact what I did and really like this grip.
-
What side is the SM flip?
My right shoulder on the pole and my right hand is high.
-
Thank You, Hook.
-
Exactly what I asked. What do you do after that or with that grip?
-

I haven't read the whole thread and if this is repeat info. then I apologize.
This is just a maybe and fyi that for me amoxicillin causes me to have a yeast infection. The reoccurance may be due to the antibiotic prescribed.
I don't know of any other antibiotics that does cause yeast infections other than amoxil.

What my trainer had me do to target belly fat or reduce my waistline is to do many squats & lunges and when that got easy he added wts to those two. Unbelievably that has reduced my waistline. The rationale behind that is that large muscles are being used and during these work outs that these large muscles need the O2. (KREB cycle)…anyways, Moved on to kettle bell that help all around toning.
I also walk my dog approx. 7 to 10km /day. I try to pole at least 3hrs a wk. Progess for me pole wise seems to be very slow.
As for food well, I eat meat, fruit & veggies (almost paleo) except in the morning I have spelt/ creme of wheat concoction. (nutmeg,cinamon, a fruit ) cook in microwave. I then add 1 scoop of protein and 3 tsp of chia seeds. I do drink coffee approx 3 cups per day/ and water and some juices 'not from concentrate'- no pretend juice-. I don't drink pop at all if I do it is soda water with lemon.
People do well on gluten free foods. I don't think people were meant to eat so much carbs. What carbs do is that it increases the melatonine in your brain and so this is why after a meal with carbs that one feels so lethargic and want to relax.
I am still trying to get nice abs …don't know if I will as I too had 2 kids.
I am realizing that it is alot of work to be me… LOL

I don't know which Valentino's DVD you have but I have the first two and so, thinking they may have improved.
-
They are good stretches but their cues on it suck.
I find Alethea's dvd's as well are very good but they suck for cueing you.
i.e. your holding a pose or something and when you look at the dvd they are onto something else.
To be aka "instructor' of that caliber you need to cue your invisible audience, count, hold , count 2 more and release type thing.
Perhaps I am harsh but disappointed at the dvd's.

I had strugled with the chopper for the longest time until one day I tried it on the other side and then got it on my first attempt on my 'wrong side' . I don't get that…lol Anyways, I had to then unlearn my mistakes from the original side.

Does anyone know how she is doing?

I think it's quite accurate b/c a few months back there was an article that pole fitness came second to a sport which the activity evades me at this time but, it's running up walls, over fences, roof tops and so forth. Crossfit was placed 4th.
I researched crossfit and they said that one burns approx 800 cal. in a work out b/c you continue to burn calories post intense activity.
Pole is intense and so, I think it is quite accurate.
