Totally normal, even more so if you are using a spinning pole. If you are using a spinning pole these tips might help!

This isn’t FB and I haven’t seem many threads here get nasty…..I haven’t seen anything yet that makes me think people are being thoughtless of the competitors. I saw Phoenix’s first post as someone who was excited and wrote back quickly, she is a regular member and would never say something to belittle the competitors.

Day 8! 🌈 Yogini! http://instagram.com/p/z8c2wipAfT/
Please checkout my lesson for great tips on avoiding injury! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5428ee0b-cad4-4c48-abfb-5b060a9aa0eb
This move is not right for everyone, if the lower ribs cannot be kept off the pole do not attempt!! -
Sounds like you’re doing a nice job of trying not to over do it. Are you making sure you’re eating enough Protein and Carbs after you workout? Also are you sleeping well. Sometimes it’s things of that nature that end up making us feel worn out.
Oh I just saw Phoenix said the same….:)

http://instagram.com/p/z54jZxpAeR/ Day 7! 🌈 Lunge Thigh Stretch. For more variations check out my lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dfb5178-ba64-438e-8bf4-5f360ac37250
The key here is to keep the hip bones level and pelvis pushing forward. Arching the low back will take away from the stretch. 💜

Allyson, I could hardly grab my top foot sooooo 😊

Are you practicing everyday?
-
Ah, true. I clean with it when plain ol vinegar isn’t enough and it does try out my hands.

Day 6! 🌈 Marley. http://instagram.com/p/z3VtmQpAZE/
This is Advanced!! In my lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f985686-ab20-4fdf-a0b7-29570ac37250 you’ll see I suggest never grabbing the top hooked leg first. It’s much safer to grab the free leg first then IF flexibility allows, grab the hooked leg too. Grabbing the top leg first can place a tremendous amount of stress on the knee!
Please check out my lesson for help and variations 💜 -
Do you think vinegar and baking soda would work?
-
Ugh, I hate the smell sol and yeah, it doesn’t go away. I can smell it even after a shower, but not all day. 😊

Day 5! 🌈 Upper Back Stretch http://instagram.com/p/z0scn1JAUk/
It’s getting serious and I can tell I’ve not been training for months ðŸ˜
Stretching the shoulders, chest and improving mobility of the middle and upper spine! Please check out the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/548cc95a-8a40-4872-9a8a-2b490a9aa0eb if you’re unfamiliar with this stretch. 💜
Do NOT begin the stretch with the lower back arched (butt out) this will compress the lower spine too much. Enter with neutral pelvis, abs in, leading with the Chest then slowly lower down allowing the spine to arch.
Can be done with two hands over head against a wall or one hand against a doorway. -
I’m just under 5′ 8″ but I have a tiny bone structure. ðŸ˜
-
Too funny guys!!
Pam, you can be the giraffe with boobs I’ll be the one without! I’m about 6′ 3″ with some of my heels. I’m sad I don’t have a giraffe emoticon 😥 only these guys ðŸªðŸ…😠why did giraffe not make the cut…poor fella.

I was looking through my bras and remembered the black one I have, I had been measured at Macy’s about 6 years ago. It’s a 32 AA…the tag might as well say “you have no boobs” lol 🙈
-
Exciting stuff!!!! ðŸ‘ðŸ‘🙌🎉🎊👯

Don’t stress! It’s normal to perform better in class, have you thought about taking the lessons here? Then you would have some guidance while you are home. Also you don’t need to practice every day and you totally need to have a day of rest in between pole sessions. This will prevent overuse injuries, your body need rest to grow stronger after a hard workout. 😊

Day 4! 🌈 Bow Stretch http://instagram.com/p/zyJsbJpAR7/
You’ll see I show 3 quick levels of difficulty. Check out my lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4de90c77-cc0c-4d78-8b47-1c7b0ac37250 for more help and options. Don’t let the legs flare out to the sides, don’t reach the head back if it’s not comfortable, keep the shoulders away from the ears!

Check out the stretching lessons here along with the flexibility routines they have all kinds of tips in them 💜

Day 3! 🌈 Sitting Twist! http://instagram.com/p/zvnwSWJAVw/
Beginners can stay facing forward. Keep the spine tall as you twist and check out my lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4def767e-f9f4-4049-9d57-2c8d0ac37250 💜 for more help. Try variations of flexing the foot of the straight leg or looking forward.

Nice leggings 💜😋 Allyson!

My definition of Spotting is….being prepared to help IF someone looses control of a move. A spotter should not help a person into a move, helping someone get into a move they’re not able or strong enough to do themselves can cause accidents and injury. Everyone should use mats when learning new things and in general spotting should be done from the hips, under the back and never grab limbs. Hope that helps 💜
-
I never did re-measure. I do think my lats cause the correct bra size to look odd maybe?
-
I’m guessing the girl who measured me didn’t do a great job either. I don’t remember the size off hand, 32 b rings a bell…but the bra’s they put me in all sat funny in the middle of my chest, so instead of having my boobs start at the side of my body they were, like, in the center. I looked really odd. lol
