If you were sedentary for the 4 days start over, if you were active then you can try picking up where you left off. I have the program designed to not make you super sore when starting out so if you start at day 10 after being away you might find more muscle soreness..not a big deal just something to consider. 🙂
I’m glad you’re feeling better!!

Training for flexibility before warming up fully isn’t a good idea, and does increase your risk of injury. You NEED blood flow to help increase the elasticity of the muscle. The key is blood flow to the muscle. Remember, gentle stretching is fine but actual training to GAIN should be done when fully warm.
I talk about cold flexibility in the 30 days to flexy program, so if you’re using that and haven’t come across it in the program it’s coming. 🙂 I don’t know what day I talk about it tho!! Basically I say….Cold flexibility can take YEARS to improve, or only weeks. It all comes down to if you’ve trained flexibility before, genetics, and how consistent you are with training. Improving cold flexibility takes time! You will always be more flexible when warm. Increasing your strength will also help with over all mobility too!
PS: I’ve read about studies where they’ve use ICE on muscles before stretching and that also works….it works because it does increase BLOOD FLOW to large muscle groups, they used it on LARGE muscles not small, because while the surface of the muscle was very cold, it created warmth/increased blood flow, deep inside and there for increase ROM. Cool huh? I plan on doing a FB live on this subject at some point…it’s on my ever growing list!
If you have more questions on flexibility try using the program if you haven’t already, even just listening to all of the main days will give you some good tips for your training programs!

Wow those are small, we use bigger ones for sure. If they fell out you should totally make sure you are on a stud when you install again. A hardware store should be able to help you find a better screw.

Ugh, hopefully the therapist will be able to help!

True grip is the most neutral position, but I couldn’t tell you what workshops might teach. Some behind the back grips are not reasonable for everyone to do so make sure you’ve go the mobility and strength to do this type of grip. If you start to have shoulder, elbow or wrist pain, do the move less often or skip it.

I’m sorry to hear this!!! Didn’t the DR. give you advice on how to take care of your spine? I know sometimes they give a diagnose and send you on your way!! You’ll want to follow the advice they’ve given you.
To give advice I’d say a professional will need to know why you’re having issues at this age. It’s a broad term and sometimes it’s not a big deal, for others it can mean on going issues.
I know strengthening the muscles around the spine and core is helpful in preventing. Eating a healthy diet with little alcohol and drinking plenty of water to help the spine stay lubricated.
I hope the dr is able to give you some direction!!

Is there a link? 😊

There are tons of lessons here!!!! You’ll even find a flexibility program a long with individual lessons to help you make sure your stretching with correct technique. There are 2 splits routines, a flowmotion routine and back mobility as well. 💜

The link isn’t working…I think I do what ppl call the side superman in this video…. I dismount into a Gemini with the hand so I can slide down. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5758671c-41d4-47d2-93b2-0012ac110006

Congrats!!!!!!
Yes, if you’ve been poling and working out for a while you can keep at it, just listen to your body. I stopped inverting towards the middle of the second trimester. I was worried about being upside down for extended periods of time because my babies stay head down and ready for a long time and I didn’t want to change that!! The biggest thing is to make sure you stay hydrated, don’t over heat and avoid lying on your back because doing so can decrease blood supply to the baby. The big thing with pole is to avoid falling and avoid moves that place pressure on the belly.
Also be careful with twisted grips, split grips and one arm spins as this places stress on the shoulders, and while pregnant the body produces relaxin and it can cause ligaments to become loose. Some women are not bothered by it and others really notice. So don’t over do flexibility training for that reason.
The Veena method has more info too https://www.studioveena.com/methods/letter
For diastasis recti, don’t do normal sit ups, don’t do planks (side planks are good) don’t do lots of shoulder mounts late in pregnancy, focus on exercise that strengthen the transverse abs and obliques, not so much the rectus abdominis.

Yeah, I’ve got slim legs and the M and can hardly fit over my calves!!!!! However I bought some volleyball pads and those don’the stay in place!!!

Poleadventures I hope your shoulder feels better soon!

You don’t need a pole for every day and as long as you don’t join on the last day and post it all at once you can join in 😆

I would say private first, you’ll be able to have devoted attention.
