Lol 😀 you are one of the cool mums for sure 😀
Maby a few shorter ones, for example one for hips, one for lower body, one for upper body. Depends on how long the whole routine takes as time is an issue and easier to fit in a smaller routine into existing routines.
However I will try whatever comes up 🙂

Thank you so much for these! 🙂 really likes them! So much valuable info here, wow! Have only listend to the last two ones, and will listen to the other ones soon.
Did not know there are such a thing as joint strength. Whats the difference from muscle strength? Have had some issues with knees since being pregnant, so would absolutely be interested in a joint strength routine. If you think something like that would work? Curious anyways.
Thank you!

Thank you Runemist34!:)
Yeah, I hope that I wont loose my strength, even though I do train a lot of other stuff, it kinda isn’t the same as pole, and the “pole muscles” is really what helps me keep fairly fit, at least I believe so. But once a week is maby enough 😀

Hello all of you! I'm thinking about starting this program since I think I need something to structure my workouts, but then again I have lots of other exercises in my life as well… And well, a life. So I was wondering if this would be something for me? And how much time does it take per day approx? Want to know so that I could plan this into my schedual 😉 or if I should just wait until I got more time, but then it's a riskt that taht wont happen in a while… :/ Thank you for your answer!

@shimamd: thanx for ur story! Now I kind of understand things better! But thats a strange thing though, means my ideal fat percentage would be pretty high https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif but maby the horomones gets kind of messed up when you drop to much to fast. Hope for the best for your toe!

I've had this problem to, in two periods at least what I can think about. The first period was in my teens, and I think it was due to hormonal changes. I trained a lot and ate poorly and droped approx 22 pounds in 2 months https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif so my menstrual cycle completely collapsed. I think maby that I lost to much for such a short period of time that the toxins stored in the fat cells became to much for the body to handle, and it tried to get rid of it through sweating during the night, but that's just one of my theories https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif My second "sweating period" was during a time of intense stress in my life, and I had all of these nightmares and woke up in the middle of the night feeling as if someone had poured a bucket of water on me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
Hope maby that helps in some way and that you get your problems solved!

Hello!
I've only shoot some pics for fun with friends, and what I found out is that spins are hard to get right, try sticking to static moves. When looking for pole pics as well they al tend to be of static moves.
I myself have a really nice pic of a (floor) cupid (profile pic, as you can see 🙂 and a pic of cross-ankle release. Cross-ankle release really makes my bod look fabolous, while cross-knee release only made my legs and belly look huge :/ so try a few poses and find what works for you.
Good luck and have fun! 🙂

Hello girls! I've been taking poweryoga classes for about two years, and actually educated myself for instructing classes, but havn't completed it yet. Anyway, since I have had a shortage of time and wanted to add in some yoga and maby try some other styles, especially ashtanga, since poweryoga is derived from it and hatha yoga. But taking more classes on top of what I already do is a no no at the time, economically and timely. So I searched youtube, and found lots and lots of awsome videos 🙂 there are yoga videos for anything from better sleep to help during your cycle, and I just love all those hippieish, all natural approach to solving things 🙂
This video and routine I tried this morning, and it definitely made my morning 🙂 it's for waking up and feeling more flexible when you get up, andd is a great, healthy start of the day 🙂

But then again, I have been introduced to yoga already, and know how to breathe and make the asanas, so maby it's a good idea to take some classes first an then make up your own schedual.
I've also tried bikramyoga and totally loved it at first, but then I found out that every class has the same structure, and that would get me bored after a while. That's what I like about poweryoga, you kind of take what you like and what fits for you 🙂
An other yoga form that I think is awsome, een so to greater lenght than poweryoga for polers, is yin yoga. Yin yoga focuses more on stretching the muscles, and is more of a stretch. It is awsome to do a yin yoga class if your too tired and have too much tension to take another class. I also found yin yoga classes at youtube 🙂

Ok, since I've been studying some psychology, and even some sports and exercise psychology, and like to read about these kind of things, I will summarize some general tips for getting great, but at any sport.
1. In practicing for getting better, you need to practice with awareness. That mean that you alter your training sessions, an try new things. You need to get a challenge sometimes, in order to progress.
2. Repeat, repeat, repeat. The ones that are great, are not great for nothing. They spend loads of time practicing.
3. Get feed-back from someone, if you are not sure of how you are doing you are not able to improve the things that are not working.
4. Focus on what you need help with. Most of us focuses on the things we are alredy good at, when we could get super by imrpving the stuff that aren't really working for us.
5. Beprepared to work really hard, mentally and physically. There is a reson for the limite amount of people excelling, and that is that it takes time.
Hope that helped you somewhat, even though it is general advice. Then as the previous girls pointed out, I don't know if your goal is to get excellent just for the sake of it, or if you want to win the world cup 🙂 Since pole is more of an artform than sports for me, 'i think that maby one could focus on finding your own niche. Pole is relatively new, so I think that there is loads of room for finding new ways to express yourself 🙂 Good luck!

Hello again! Well, Tallicachild, I don't eat meat but fish since I like fish but not meat. And as it seams, it helps me eat better. Now I'm eating more vegetables than I was when eating meat, and it cuts out all the "bad" meat that I used to eat. I guess that it depends on why you are a vegetarian, everyone has their own reasons 🙂
@megan12: yep, do know. It gets to me, cause I am the least lazy person I know when it comes to training, but then again I am not the smallest :/ so I try, and struggle to get enough protein since it works better for me, but I don't really want to eat red meat. And I don't eat chicken and fish that much either, and I get tired of eggs sometimes… Maby should try more nuts? Cause I know that I tend to fill up on carbs instead :/ and even though fruit is good for you, maby not the amount that I do eat somedays 😛
@Aerialgypsy: thanx! Trying to avoid soy! Am really happy that (after a really long time….) almond milk is available in grocery stores! 🙂
Thank you for all tips! 🙂 find it intresting that everyone has thier own way of seing something as basic as eating 🙂 will check out the "Fat Head" ocumentary as well! 🙂

@beginner2: Thanx for the reply! I love to discus proper diet! It's also hard to know what diet tips that will do it for me, or for anyone at all, since different studies imply different things… So I think I will do whatever feels best atm 🙂 but I totally agree with you, it is not the meat that tastes good, it is the seasoning..
I couldn't open the youtube link, but found it anyhow 🙂 sounds relly cool! Will def check it out!
Unfortunately, I have found that I do increase muscle, and and are able to shorten my resting period between training sessions if I drink protein shakes (whey). I also tend to eat less if I consume a protein shake a day, due to feeling satisfied. I reed somewhere that what's your "optimal" food depends on your genes, some are better at processing protein than others, and some are better at processing carbs, and there is of course those that are in between. I personally feel fuller on protein, but also heavier. And that is a welcomed feeling in intense periods of training.
I once tried a raw food detox diet, and went on it for three months. During those months, at least my sister said that I lost weight, but the problem was that when I started eating as usual, I had lost a lot of muscle, and I gaind a lot of fat due to not having the same energy requirments (muscle burn seven times more than fat…). And then I read somewhere that it's actually so that the body can't take up all the vitamins in raw food, so that it's better from a vitamin perspective to eat cocked food… And then I kind of gave up.. I'm not sure what to think, and probably even the scientists are arguing about it, lol. So I mix both coocked and uncoocked greens, with focus on coocked ones during winter and uncoocked during summer.
But I would love to read arguments for both sides, if anyone feels like they are up for it 🙂

Thnk u everyone! 🙂
Well, I m pretty helthy and do train lot, a vary the exercise I take quite well. I have a scle that should measure the amount of body fat I have, and acording to it I have a precentage of approx 35%, and that is a lot. But I do also have a lot of muscle, and look as heavy as I actually am :/ I am what you would say a ft but fit person 😛 so, I should have a good starting piont if I would like to decrease in fat percentage 🙂
I ate red meat until the age of 19, and then I moved back to my mother, and she was then a vegetarian, the kind tht eat eggs and dairy products. And since she cocked the food, I became a vegetarian. Or at least most of my food was. And then I lost some weight 🙂 I was as well really tired of red meat, since I had been working extra t McDonald's while getting my high-school education… The kind of meat that I ate back then was mostly half-fabricats (could you say so in english?), or processed, half-coocked stuff an really not that healthy :/ So one day I simply made a decission to stop with red meat as well a white meat, except for fish, cause i have always liked fish. And I'm sorry for missleading you about the vegetarianism, but at least in Sweden we do differentate more about being vegetarian, most of the people calling themselves vegetarians eat fish. It's called different things dependign on what you eat, for example a lakto-ovo-vegetarian eat dairy and eggs, while a lakto-vegetarian eat dairy. So, everytime I say I am a vegatarian, I also have to explain whitch type, but at least I don't end up with a hamburger , lol 😛 But the thing is that I do eat chicken once in a while, and I started for about four years ago when I started lifting weights. I found that I really wanted to eat chiken back then, an I thought that it was my body telling me something. So I do eat is sometimes, but do not want to eat it to often, cause it makes me feel "heavy". It's like I only need it when I have been training heavily. Except for that, there are environmental reasons for not eating meat, as well as how the animals are treated in animal farms, an if I don't have a real reason to eat it, I am only happy to give it up. I don't like it.
Now I will go find out what spelt is in swedish 😛
And thank you chemgoddess, I will check the thread out! 🙂

Hello sallybull6140! sry 2 hear that! unfortunatly, Ive been having kind of the same issue :/ I am finally starting to get my invert, but it aint pretty.. With that said, what have helped me whit the small progress I have had is actually a lot of different things, and I am not really sure what helped the most or if it is some sort of combination, and there are lote of different reasons why people struggle with the invert. Anyway, I have been trying to get at least one hour of cardio a day, since my big but was quite hevy to lift 😛 then I started practice controlled shoulderstands or what i should call them, laying on the floor, with the pole placed in my armpit, hands i the same positioning as for inverting, and then raiseing the legs upp as in an invert, but from laying on the floor. Hope that made some sense to you. My goal was at first 20 of those a day, but in reality it was for like 2 times a week or so 😛 but it helped a lot, i think. Then i started som flexy training, so that i could pull up my legs from a smaller distance from thje pole 😛 I also found that i was really unflexible in the back, and stretching that one out every day or so also helped. Now i am also poling seriously for twice a week, and that helped in building "basic" shoulder and back strenght, so that the body doesnt fall down trying to invert. Well, i think you have to find your "invert problem areas", and finding ways to solve them. But i would gladly have more advice on this topic as well, since i am now struggeling wiht the chopper…
-
Okok, maby a bit late.. But well well.. Here we go again.
My main goals is increased flexibility and strenght. I will also be more persistent in my invert practise (which has for most times just not happened at all…)
But, now on a weekly basis (for the next week at last) I will:
-do daily stretches (yoga) and meditation
-8 hours of sleep
-attend taekwondo class 2 times
-attend a strenght training class 2 times
-1 hour of cardio per day
-eat at least 1/2 kilo of fruit and veggies per day
-increase intake of protein (in form of fish)
Good luck to me! 😛 and good luck to all of you hard working ladies!
