I just started using a 45mm from using a 50 for three years. So I guess my girth issue is just that I want more 45 practice. The pull and bruising without a layer of clothing can be pretty uncomfortable. Have you tried guards that you wear? ie wrists, ankle/tops of feet/

I don’t have a picture of mine up, but I purchased it through the Platinum Stages website, but recently stumbled upon their own site.

I’m a rather conservative person, but my now husband knew I poled for fitness and had one in my house prior to us dating because of Facebook pictures and and post bragging. He obviously saw the difference in what I do and club dancing, but through conversations about why and what it does for my body he began to understand and the newness somewhat wore off. It could be a first date “do you work out?” type conversation.

I have a pole sleeve. I have only had it for a little over a month, but I love it. I’m still rebuilding my pole calluses and bruises after having a baby so I find I really need to wear yoga pants right now or it hurts. I am able to grip longer, both with hands and body. And my kids love that they can pole in long pants. My only complaint is that it’s hard to get on (I haven’t even attempted taking it off because I have two 45mm) and that it adds girth, a 45mm is turned into about a 50mm.

I think we all plateau for a bit with pole, but will progress again! Don’t be discouraged.

I love chair work and the added oomph it gives to my butt and legs. Or try a barre type class for cardio and more body toning if you aren’t happy with just pole type workouts. I have never done cross fit, but the few girls that I know that tried said it made some of their muscle groups to tight to pole especially in the hips and lower back.
