I’ve toyed with the idea, however, I don’t belive there should be an expectation as to when to invert and such, so moving past beginner moves is challenging in that respect. The Take off program teaches the absolute fundamentals and moving past that point is such a personal thing.
There may be an option for me to do programs/routines to help one achive things like inverts and such.

In the lessons I give you some tips on diet for both strength and flexibility! One of the easiest things you can do is eat colorful meals that include lots of veggies. Remember that REST is equally important to growth both in strength and flexibility so don’t skimp on that.

It shows up for me. Here’s the link http://instagram.com/insp_ector

How well you can do something doesn’t factor into winning at all. It’s random so the more you do and share the better.

Yep text, notes on phone, or videos all work. If you want to write stuff down you can try using the blog section here too, it can be done from your phone so it makes it pretty accessible.

Thanks, I’ll look into it!

45s are great and I would suggest that diameter. Yes, thinner poles can bow but that doesn’t mean they are ruined or dangerous! As long as the pole isn’t crazy warped and all other parts are in working order a bit of a curve is ok. My brass is a 40 and has a bit of bowing.

Video please, not sure what it is. 😊

Reposting that last link…..

Because rest is important I would try adding some extra conditioning work into whatever pole time you have.
I know you don’t want to do weights but this video has some great stuff you can do with either weights or instead use resistance bands like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/7245456313?redirect=true&ref_=s9_simh_gw_p200_d1_i1. You will need an exercise ball too.
Here is the video with 30 exercises for the whole body https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52f90381-4458-4123-99e5-41150a9aa0eb
Here are some more strength based options I’ve shared on FB. There are more in the lessons too, if you’re ever in a place to use them.

I’ve broken a toe and severely injured (tore) the ligaments in my foot on the pinky toe side. I felt and heard a pop is was terrible! blah! Took FOREVER for both injuries to feel better, the toe break was significantly faster, just takes time to actually stop hurting.
If you can by a set of resistance bands there’s a lot you can do on the road with those. I focused on building my upper body strength at the time of my ligament tears. Can can maybe find a pack of bands at Target or any sporting goods store, I bought mine on amazon and they have held up super well. Here they are http://www.amazon.com/Black-Mountain-Products-Resistance-Exercise/dp/7245456313/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1440107438&sr=1-1&keywords=resistance+bands
Also once your foot isn’t as painful start working on the foot exercises here, they will help rehab the poor piggy! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e316bf4-9398-4008-9184-6d820ac37250 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e297a2a-3fe0-4503-bc25-2a430ac37250

I grew up in ND! I only know of Total Woman in Fargo and one in Bismarck, I can’t recall the name….

I give you suggestions and tips at the end of the program 💜💜

If you follow the Veena method you can avoid much of the pitfalls found in training! 💜

I use this if I need grip aid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgvvc2uvcFw

I have the PC xpole, it’s good. My suggestion to you for learning at home is get the lessons here. 😊

It’s the same motion as this just lying down 😊 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/f6257c78-b909-11df-856f-001b214581be

Yes, it’s a ballerina spin on spinning pole. This spin can also be done on static. BOTH are shown in the lesson. The static variation requires more strength.
IT’S NOT A BEGINNER MOVE! 🙈

There will be more. I’m on vacation right now and my kids start school next week! You’ll find I’m posting new chair lessons at the moment 😉

Working on handstands is helpful for improving wrist strength. Also you’ll find several wrist and shoulder conditioning and mobility lessons here. Keep in mind some bodies aren’t meant to do some moves, that doesn’t mean you can’t come up with a similar outcome in your own safe way! 😊

Deadlifting from cup grip takes beastly strength!! The small change in grip really does make it more difficult because it changes the angle of the lift. Even when using a cup grip position you can still have tendinitis and other issues that come along with deadlifting too often, so keep reps to no more than 10 per session to avoid overuse injury.
Keep working on assending from cup grips and hit the gym lifting weights to target shoulders, lats and obliques! For any deadlifts working internal and external shoulder rotations will be helpful in injury prevention as well.

Studioveena IS a studio, but online so if you choose to learn here you’re not self taught. I’m your teacher so you don’t have to stress about figuring out things yourself! 💜 The lessons here are placed in a structured order and I’m a quick message away if you have questions or concerns so you’re not alone! 😊
Being self taught, as in not having any guidance, is tough but if you understand body mechanics and have a previous background in fitness or strength training it totally possible. 😊

I’m excited for you!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I doubt it. 😔
