Girls, I am new on Veena and I started my split challenge just yesterday.
The thing is that today I woke up with this pain on my inner thighs, and it is like those pains that appears when we work out too hard.
I warmed up before stretching, so I don’t believe that I had some injuries. And the pain doesn’t actually bothers me.
I was wondering if it is normal and if I should continue doing this every day.
I held the position of 60 seconds. If the pain is not normal, should I lessen the time or should I lessen the intensity of the movement?
Thanks!! -
Well, I believe that every woman experienced this feeling once in life. Those “compliments” also bother me because there are invasive and it is a form of violence. Like says the song, it is a men’s world and every one learns very early that female body only exist to fullfil men’s needs. We hear this everywhere, on TV, songs, magazines, ads…
When I as a pre-teenager, I was considered fat and so I didn’t call the boys attention. But when I completed 15 years old, I started losing weight because of biological questions, I never had this need of losing weight. But at this time it all begin.. all this feeling you mentioned, I felt it too. I was already shy, after this, I shut myself in a shell.
I took me a long time to understand that IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! When I realised, something changed in me. And at the same time, I meet the pole dance!!!
I am dancing for myself. I am doing whatever I want with a body that belonged to me and no one else!
That’s what pole dance represents to me. It is something that I do with something that I own but it was taking from me long ago. Now, I am taking back. And the coolest thing is that I am taking it back through something requires grace, sexuality, flexibility and, most of all, strenght! Women are not allowed to be strong, but we, pole dancer, are! People can freak out!

Are you warming up before and stretching out after practicing? If you don’t, it may cause injuries. When I do my practice at home, I make sure a warm up and strecth out at leat 15 minutes. Good luck!
