ok ok..lol i love the pole so much it is hard to stay off when i an realllly feeling it, but you are so right that is not worth the risk of injury later down the line. good idea veena about the stretching floorwork hooping .. atleast i can still use the pole to do side stretches, walks, floor moves. ok guys thanks for setting me straight ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

ok so good Q. how bad is it if i pole days in a row as long as i am not sore? like can i do some pole inverts ect today and tommorow and the next day if i am only doing like 30mins at a time and not sore/tender/fatigued? or is it a pretty hard rule not to work the same muscles days in a row even if not sore? sometimes i am feeling it and want to pole every day other times maybe 1 or 2x week..

thanks for the advice. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif ya i am too afraid of tipping over if i go into w/o control so rteally haven’t worked on this one. maybe once i finish healing up from that split done w cold muscles and can start deep stretching again ( tight tight hamstrings) and i am finally back to working on abs. tring to get my little 2 pack back https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

that story almost made me cry! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif i can not belive how heartless and souless some people can be! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
no matter what u do for a job or in your social life gives anyone permissin to touch you in any way w/o your consent! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif i mean who the hell do these pig bastereds think they are?! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_porc.gif i hope karma finds them and takes a huge swing at them! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gifladies i talked about how EVERY woman needs to learn self defense on FB… i hope that heartbreaking story encourages you to learn how to protect yourself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif doesn’t mean you will never be a victim or hurt, but you will be less likely to be a victim as you will know how to cary yourself and what to do and not to do in situations, but if you are attacked you will be a much harder opponet to contend with. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif i know it felt like one of the most empowering things i have ever done when i was able to take a strong man to the ground and keep him there.( defense practice) just something to think about. be a hard target. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif
i want to see all my pole friends happpy and healthy ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -
this move has not really been attempted too much as although can do a good foward fold, and easily reach and grip the pole, i feel like when i go to go up i am going off to 1 side and i really don’t want to hurt my shoulder/back if i just sort of flop off to 1 side.. i am maybe not going itno it fast enough? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

holy cow! these ladies rock! wow i could not get over the ease at which they were pulling off these totally amazing tricks! i loved the combos! when she just like flew into the knee hold i was like https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

i would never think less of an exotic dancer / stripper/ whatever! i mean we are emulating what they do! atleat a whole lot of us do! we grind our hips, we shake and bounce our bootys, we run our hands over our bodies, wear 6 inch heels or other "exotic wear"… nope, just bc it isn’t my job choice, i would never think less of a woman no matter what her career choice. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

oh i LOVE using socks for poling. knee highs are like my signature thing. i wear them alot more than heels or boots when i dance. i can’t wait to check out the "sock porn" !!! thanks! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

start slow and be patient with yourself and your body. you didnt’t lose strength / ability over night and it will take time to build it back. for now just have fun with your dancing / pole. make aplaylist of songs that really make you want to move. try to aleast strart w slow ones and just let your body move w no pressure to pull off crazy tricks or perfect turns. when you just let yourself get lost in the music and the felling of your body just moving you will be warming up your body and pole and alot of time i start this way and end up getting really into it and making a vid or just getting a really good practice in. floor/wall/chair work can be incorporated to help build strength and still be building skills for pole/dance. sometimes putting on something that makes me feel sexy (wther a lacy whatever, a bikini, a pretty dress, etc) it can put me in a diffrent mood. experiment w lighting and props.. just ease back into it. nd go with it if you feeling strong. if it’s a so so day just work on walks, turns, floor stuff, poses, etc.. if you end up feeling it, go for it! work on spins, light inverts, holds, combos.. just enjoy what your doing and listen to your body. watch vids to get inspired. every day it gets better so enjoy the journey and keep us posted on your progress! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

what great advice ladies! i was just feeling kinda blah about going on the pole as a little tired and it’s rainy, but after reading all this i thought it would be fun to just go and dance for the sake of dancing. no video, no trying for any moves, just moving slow to a good jazz song. thanks a salways ladies ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif

i would say this is one of my biggest issues w my dances/vids. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif i tend to just fly through one pose or whatever to the next. i tend to rush to get up as soon as i get to the floor instead of taking my time. i always feel like i am holding things too long and people are going to be bored, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif but than when i am watching the vids back i’m like wow that would have been alot better if i had hel things longer and just moved through things a little slower.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif i am trying to work on this. well it’s good to hear other peoples thoughts and ideas on this. great topic. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif

when i feel that way i make a playlists of music i am feelin at the moment, put on some clothes that make me feel confident, and just move.. no pressure, no expectations.. if not feeling strong work on floor or wall work, chair dance, just dance. slow, fast whatever.. alot of times once you strat moving a little your mood will follow your body. hope things get better. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

was just checking in to see if there is anything going on in this area for may/june …

exactly! there are some moves i find less visually appealing than others, but i still want to learn them all! i agree the genie and sideclimb can look awkward, but are still both great things to know. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif i am actually working on diffrent ways to get in and out of the genie. non-polers think it’s a very impressive move, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif plus it certainly works your abs/hamstrings. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif i guess one other is scorpio flatline and apprentice, just not crazy about either. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif i do use them as i do want to be able to do as many moves as possibe ( and not just do them but w best form my body allows https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif ) ..
so i think all you ladies rock https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif i love watching your videos no matter what skill level, so keep posting and remember it’s suppouse to be fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif if you do it for your own enjoyment it won’t matter if some people dont care for certain moves or even your entire video. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif i also am glad we can have these open, honest discussions! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

ya my jade is along way from perfect. especially since i hurt my leg weeks ago doing a deep slpiton totally cold muscles. cant even try to do a split since. well i am going to do some practice later tonight and i will see if i can come up w anything that wasnt mentioned here out of hip-hold for you and if i do will post tonight as well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

well no deep breathing needed here i am dont care what anyone thinks of what i do bc not doing it for anyone but me, but for some others opinions can make or break the way they feel about posting here as i said said we are all certainly entitled to our individual opinions, and i see nothing wrong w the discussion in general, but as i also said, there is a way to word things that dont make it sound like your sitting there throwing up in your mouth while watching someones vids or moves . you can say i think stripper shoes look clunky ok big deal even if i wear them, but if you say they look hidieous, and girls wearing them make you think they look like gracless apes in them, well now if i wear them ya i will probably take some offense to it. while there are way too many peeps on here to say EVERYONE is cool and supportive etc is just not realistic, but i do belive there was no harm/offense meant w this post or any replies to it. . just wish people could find a better way to word there opionions of things they don’t like. i personally have pretty thick skin and dont care half as much as i used to about what peeps say or dont about my moves/vids/etc bc no matter what you do some are just not going to be into it, and no matter how hard you try y0 u cant please everyone, this was more for the peeps who are feeling hurt/offended./discouraged after reading certain comments ( bc i know they .’re out there) but dont have whatever to speak out about it. i just think some peeps come off sounding snobby/stuck up and THAT to ME is the LEAST attractive thing of all. ( i am also entitled to an opinion right? ) so in conclusion please lets continue to share are opinions openly and honestly, but just keep in mind, it’s not just a few friends reading what your writting, and you never know how badly a poorly worded comment can hurt someones feelings. again I am not angry/upset, just think we need to be on each others side and be suppourtive of peeps of all skills/styles. lets all keep up the great work ladies/gents no matter what your style! bring it on and lets build each other up! GO TEAM VEENA! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

yes remeber you AND your pole should be warm and dry
and remeber to grip in the right area ( the fleshiest part of your upper inner thigh usually not directly on your crotch ouch! and not too far down near knees
putting something squeeshy between your thighs ( a ball with some give maybe) and using your thighs to push it in tight between your knees works the same way thigh master used to to stengthen those smaller muscles in the area could help build some grip in that area good luck! -
hmm said vid was taken down.. didnt see it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
