Do LOTS of squats!! Last year when i started poling w/in three mths i started getting compliments and questions on how my legs and thieghs looked so great. The other thing i did was lay on the floor with the pole between ur legs. Extend one leg and put the bottom of your foot on the pole with your knee almost to your chest. Push off of the pole and bring your straightened out leg all the way up and over your head. You can use your hands to balance yourself at first, Do as much as you can, and switch legs. Those are the two things that got my butt and legs in really great shape.

I purchased the ones with tack. Mainly for spin mode and tricks. I dont need them per say for spins, so i just leave them off. They do take some getting use too tho. I havent tried the ones w/o tack tho. So i can't really give a good comparison
-
For some reason…I can do great (maybe bc i am short) at the elbow grip. Im not a fan of the forearm grip..and just now barley being able to get the split grip…(took me a extra 4mths of straight poling to do so) I agree i think it all depends on your body shape/size on what feels more secure
-
Also, i do want to note here. You don’t have to completely be off your pole everyday. Just if you work one muscle group say doing tricks, don’t do it the next day..work on spins, or floor work ect.

I am interested, as long as i dont work..and the weather works out https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I’ve had a great experience once i realized i wasn’t tightening the hex’s enough.
-
I want to pipe in here lol. I don’t recommend doing any sort of TG..Why you might ask. You see i can do everything on here comfortably that you guys should be able to do before the TG. I tried the TG once..just ONCE, no jumping ect. Well i’ve been out of poling for now three weeks. It wasn’t my shoulder, nor my wrist that I hurt. It was my elbow. I at this point can’t really do any simple spins w/o my elbow giving me pain.. Please i can not over emphasize this enough. Don’t rush into this move, or you will be sorry (like i REALLY am i miss my pole!)

What helped me get use to the grip for this move, and improve my grip. Do a handstand against the pole, if you can. Grip your legs around it (while in the handstand) and cross your ankles..when you feel you are secure start trying to lift up. If you need to grab the pole with one hand (around your glutes area) and help yourself up a bit, go for it. I did this move over and over again until i finally got my CAR. Good Luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

I still think the xpert is great. I have had many issues at first with the shifting xjoints..but once i realized i had to, what i thought was over tighten them, I have never had a problem since. Its just you have to make SURE to get those extra tight.
-
Its a problem with the new xpert, and unless you have it SUPER tight..it will do that..i’ve had it happen to me a couple of times as well as some of the other girls here. I know there is a post about it somewhere around here. A couple of them said to take a broom stick and knock it out really hard. GL! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

I could not agree more..I had my first family member last week, say a smart ass comment about it..then she rambled about how some girl wanted to put a pole up in her room (family member is a officer in the military) ..she just looked at me when she seen it and said "oh no meg, why do you have THAT"…so i told her you might think its easy..but i gurentee you…that i am in better shape then some of those boys are that come in for boot camp..BECAUSE of my damn stripper pole..she sorta just looked at me dumb founded https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif It drives me nuts with close minded people..we dont ridicule someone running do we? We don’t say negative stuff about gymnast do we? No..we don’t..but because some women take there clothes off for a honest living (would love to do it if i was single and had a better body haha) everyone associates poles with sex..yeah some it might be that..but ya know what..hats off to people who do because most of them can still do a hell of a lot harder things then i can..i have mad respect for it
-
I dont know what went wrong to be completely honest. I didn’t put my leg enough over to "catch" the pole..I just realized i also have a 7 inch long scratch that runs from my collar bone to my boob that must have came from that fall. Im just glad my neck went with me instead of getting caught on the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif

Yeah, i dont know whats the deal. Im liking chrome though so far. Ty
-
Virus scan came back clean. I ended up d/l chrome. Video’s work fine on that. Im assuming at this point it is IE on windows 7.
-
Yes, im allowing it to download. I will get firefox, and see if it helps on that.

I also noticed the same thing is happening to me with the lessons. I have canceled my subscription to them for now because i can’t view part of them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
-
any other suggestions? I was over at a friends house today and logged on (since she has windows 7 as well) made sure her flash was up to date ect…same thing on her computer. Im starting to wonder if it is a issue with Win7 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
-
Its hard to tell, bc if you do loose weight by poling..by the time you loose that weight you are already learning, and getting better each practice. So honestly, i have no idea
-
I have no sort of advice, but my husband is the EXACT same way lol
Well, the next time I am in Indiana we will have to let our husbands get together and talk about what crappy wives we are and in the meantime we will have to find a great bar with a pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Does your hubby get cranky about the videos too? I took some of my original ones down after having it brought up and thrown in my face every other day – how inappropriate it was for me to post that "$**!" on the internet for everyone to see https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif So now I don’t post anything that has actual dancing – just straight up trick stuff.
Let me let you in on a little secret https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif now don’t go tell my husband you know..when our husbands team up and say what bad wives we are when we are poling at the indiana bar LOL..He knows i take video..but he thinks its to watch my progress..He doesn’t know i post them on here. Its sort of..he doesn’t ask..i dont tell. I know its not completely right..but there is NO harm in posting video’s here. Its not like im taking my clothes off posting it to Youtube for the world to see. lol
