    Thanks for the replies everyone! So far I really love pole!!! I started at the beginning and am excited that I can do all the beginner stuff and plenty of the intermediate stuff too 🙂 I have not yet drifted into the advanced section yet. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by my reactions to the pole. I always thought it would be super difficult and very unforgiving, but I actually find it’s solidness to be very reliable, unlike how fabric can be so finicky…you always know exactly where the pole will be and what it will be doing lol. I love how it uses so many of the same aerial muscles, but find it to be more well rounded since there’s also more pushing involved, instead of just so much pull. So happy to be on this journey with Veena and you all!

    Corrie thanks for the suggestion for the FB group! I will have to try and find it 🙂 And I love that analogy with the rope…so true for any of the more fluid apparatuses I suppose lol.

    Hi Sleeping Beauty! Glad to meet another aerialist/poler! 🙂 OMG the coldness on my skin has been the biggest thing for me to get used to so far as well!

    Thank you Veena and Corrie! That is great advice. So far I’ve started to go through the 30 day take off to familiarize with pole terms and which exercises are best to train pole moves, but I will definitely take a peak at those other 30 day programs as well as the beginner classes in general.

    Corrie, I’m very much looking forward to the gains by cross training! 😀 The grip is quite different on this thick, solid, and true vertical apparatus. Thanks for your awesome reply! So wonderful to meet another aerialist turned poler. I’m going to go look for you on IG now 🙂 My IG is @befreeand_travel
