You have spent the last few days trying to figure out where to find & what containers you can use small enough to carry rubbing alcohol, & some kind of small foldable rag in your smallish going out purse, just in case you run into a poling opportunity while you are out.

Age is definitely not a factor in pole! I’m one of the “older” ladies on SV–I’m 41 & sure my learning curve is a tad slower than some of the younger ladies & my stamina isn’t what it used to be in my 20s & my body has zero flexibility & my muscle aches & pains take longer to go away. But you know what? Poling is worth it! It has been the most incredible journey & has changed me & my life in ways I never imagined 🙂
Welcome to the obsession!

I have a bad left knee from a track & field injury in high school & it flares up & hurts when I overuse it & I end up having to let it rest & not exercise for a few days until it feels better. I do notice that it seems to flare up less if i stretch properly before all & any exercise & that sometimes wrapping it keeps me from pushing it too far.

Yes I do know all too well…my husband and I have spoken up several times and even confronted them face to face and yet everyone comes running to defend them and to say we are out of line REALLY?!? We are consistently seen as the bad guys in the family because we call them out every time, but his whole family insists on defending these bad apples who are doing real damage to the family with their behavior over and over. It's gotten to the point where we don't spend as much time around or with his family anymore because of these bad apples, it makes me sad because we used to be with my husbands family ALL THE TIME but now it's not worth all the bs that comes with it. Sorry I sorta vented there too. Didn't mean to highjack your thread. xxoo

Super normal. With time you will come to love the bruises & soreness they are pole war badges of honor lol I take pics of mine! Soak in the tub with epsom salts, take Advil or Naproxen and use a massage wand for the soreness after you soak in the tub. You can use Arnica gel on the bruises as well.
I've found that since I started taking extra iron I bruise alot less 🙁 I miss my bruises!

Yes I definitely know what you mean! I ran into this in my workplace constantly and there are a couple of bad apples like this in my huuby's family and it pisses me off to no end! Everyone makes excuses for them and everytime they do something terrible everyone just turns the other cheek and says it is what it is/thats just how they are there's nothing that can be done. It's like are you guys AFRAID of them is that what this is?!? It's so idiotic and VERY frustrating.

Good luck!

Poling makes your arms & shoulders bigger! And my chest cavity is definitely more pronounced
-
Welcome back! I wondered where you disappeared to! How are things? Did you get a new nursing position in WA? Is that why you moved? Look forward to seeing your progress vids again 🙂
-
I like this idea! If anyone is open to housing some of us for Las Vegas expo in Sept, please let us know!
Someone (i don’t remember who) also suggested renting a house or two close to the expo venue & everyone pitching in to save $$$.

Yes you can cancel Veena’s lessons at anytime. Go to the profile tab, click account & follow steps once in there to cancel.

Welcome to SV! Everything you are describing is normal & things that most of us dealt with when we started pole-the not knowing where to start, hands slipping, no strength etc. It all will get better/improve the more you practice pole.
I highly recommend Veena’s lessons as well because they are great & go in order, so that you build strength as you learn new moves & her lessons go at an easy to follow pace, which is awesome.
-
SV is great! Glad you found us! I'm in Los Angeles, so maybe sometime we can meet up 🙂 There is a pole expo coming up in Vegas in Sept, you might enjoy going to that.
Welcome to SV!

AYE! Although I only do it when the kids aren’t here or fast asleep. It adds a whole different perspective to poling but I don’t do it too often though because my big ole boobies flop around too much & it hurts! Lol
-
Congrats!

I have this same issue! My nether regions get really bad too. I have a regimen–spray thighs with alcohol, slather with corn huskers lotion let dry, then apply dry hands. I do have to reapply a few times during my sessions but at least I can get a few tricks in before reapplying. Also ive recently discovered that having a small fan on (or a/c) to keep me from getting too heated & sweaty as I pole has helped TONS. I am able to pole alot longer & reapply grip aids alot less when I am kept cooled down.

I have very full 36Ds & i buy the champions brand from target they have worked well for me. I’m still boobdacious but they stay in the bra when I invert.
-
You are not alone. I have the same issues. I try to just dance every now & then to practice just feeling the music & expressing it through my pole movements but it doesn’t really ever turn out right. The problem is mostly not being able to mesh & execute all the elements of pole-dance, tricks & fluidity together.
I’ve decided that I will probably just start taking workshops or class series’ a few times a year that focus on flow, transitions, choreography etc. I figure eventually my inner pole vixen will fully bloom & emerge. Hopefully.

I'm sorry for your loss 🙁 my thoughts and prayers are with you

Try these guys: http://www.lasvegasstripperpoles.com/rent-a-pole/
Or email Fawnia@poleexpo.com directly she may be able to tell you some other pole rental companies in Vegas or have other ideas on who to contact.

If you pole 3+ times a week that will do wonders for toning your bod. You can do push ups, sits ups, use pull up bar, do curls & arm exercises with light weights at home, as supplemental exercises to boost your arm & core strength as well if you want. Veena’s strength, foam roller & conditioning exercises are great too!
-
I'll be there! I think I will buy a Veener button, so other Veeners can find me! I'd love to hang with as many of you as possible. Is anybody bringing their pole with them? A hotel room pole jam would be fun too!
Fri I'm taking Liquid Motion (see you there azblanco!) & Rodney's chair challenge
Sat I'm taking Estee's Combos & transition class and Rodney's showgirls classic
Sun I am going to go to the spa, relax for a few hours and get a massage, then head out back home 🙂
-
Learn on both (wish I had) but definitely get each move nailed on static mode first, then practice it on spin.
-
Start with static! And I would highly recommend the 1 year it is a really good price and value!
-
I do light stretching & conditioning every other day for 10-15 min stints, as well as a lil arm & core strength conditioning–push ups, pull ups, plank holds, bicycle sit ups etc. I’ll just drop on the floor & do sets of 20 through out my day. When I worked, I would close my office door, take 5 mins 2-3x a day & do a set of sit ups & push ups.
