Some of those comments were incredibly racist and misogynistic. Not to mention sizist and just plain nasty. I honestly wonder if people who feel free to use the cloak of internet anonymity to be terribly mean to others are really like that in real life. If so, I feel sorry for the people around them.
That said, just those stills of Claudia look wonderful. Lovely costume, excellent poses, and it looks like a lovely vintage-inspired burlesque routine! I would love to see it. She looks strong, flexible, like one hel* of a performer!
Good luck at the next comp!

Cool, Angel1201! I just looked up Barre3, never heard of it before. But the price at amazon! EEK. Can you tell us more about it?

Pole row? Just like a basic upright or bent over row just holding the pole instead of bar/ dumb bells?
I've seen a lot of strength exercises using the pole, but I've been curious about how much it can stand in for a horizontal barre. I bet there's a lot more ways a pole can sub for a barre than the other way!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Oh yes… the lovely sensation of skinsticky… not a fan.
I don't know why, but my loose skin does seem to bruise easier, especially on my arms. I think my arm skin is also slowing my recovery from an otherwise minor tricep strain.
I actually get a pulling feeling in my skin in high impact activity. It ranges from discomfort to a prominent pain that actually starts to feel like its putting pressure on my back or knees. Once I was on a boat and my thigh skin moved, and we were on some chop so my balance was seriously compromised. I went straight down on my knee.

Mikelirpa, I have an odd question. Do you ever get pain in your excess skin regions? I run, jog, and do high impact cardio. I get odd pulling pains in my loose skin, especially on the torso. Do you get that as well? I'm wondering if loose skin issues are more or less similar to others'.
Thanks!

age: 41 but now that you know, I have to kill you
location: OH, USA
stage name: none, but I like the idea of– Hootie Emerald
lessons or self taught: will be self taught, or so I think. No pole as yet.
spin or static: I suspect I'll go cheap and spinless.
shoes or barefoot: barefoot or tennies… that's the way I role.
favorite pole move: any… no pole; they all amaze me right now.
day job: professor of history, especially history of bodies
your best/sexiest feature: none but my crazy brain
how you got into pole dancing: I am a workout loon and have been wanting to add pole work for over a decade. I see it as such a unique way to exercise and such a great to express the soul/self because one can defy gravity and truly explore space and air. from an observer's perspective, nothing else is like it.
how you found out about studioveena.com: looking for pole reviews, I linked from x pole review
if you were a pair of underwear would you be a thong, boy shorts, bikini cut or granny panties: none of these– I'm a lace trimmed sheer paneled bike short, yo. -
I think it really depends on how much you're looking to do and how much of the body you want to use. If you just want to one part, you could probably start with some slow movement– say for abs, easy standing side bends or standing knee lifts with a tiny crunch downward.
But I think if you're trying to work several parts, it might just be easiest to take 2 minutes for easy rhythmic motion to get blood flowing and let everything feel warmer. I think just a minute or 2 of easy movement, whether general full body movement if you want to cover multiple parts or focused to the part/ area, is helpful to get a better range of motion and to feel more comfortable and stronger.
Most days I do some therapy on my certain parts when I first wake, and when I want/ need to get into it fast, I use my first toilet to start moving and put on a lotion* (motion+massage can warm up faster) then do my thing, then do concluding stretches in the shower and lastly shower for hygiene. Sorry for any TMI. But I make my students recite their sexual organs' names on day 1 in class, so… well… yeah.
* any lotion, not just a muscle liniment, is fine. But a muscle liniment may help you feel warmer and "looser" faster.

Thanks all! I think my concern has been about safety– worrying if my moving skin might make some of the leg holds (especially at the thighs). What motivated the post was watching the lesson on the pole sit because everytime I move my legs, the skin moves. So here I am, picturing tryting that move and then extending a leg so my thingh skin shifts, making me coot slide down the pole. Not in a sexy way.
'Course, the vexing thing here is that losing more weight at this point just makes my skin looser.
Now to figure out what pole to get…
