I agree they are scary!!!! I plan on continuing to work on both of these after the challenge is over!
Here’s day 28! http://instagram.com/p/uweas7pAZC/?modal=true I felt like I could only hold it for a second!

All of the routines excluding the ones for stretching are great ways to add more cardio into your pole work. Also remember you don’t need to be thin to pole and pole well! I see you’ve looked at the strength and conditioning, have you tried the 30 day take off program? This will include everything you’re looking for. 🙂

Yes, I’ve had my pole on textured ceiling too, with no problem! You should be fine. 🙂

It’s easy, just pick a photo, print it out then use a tracing tool….it leaves little marks on the pumpkins so you can just follow the dots with a knife! Here’s a pick of the tools, the little thing that has tiny teeth and is a circle, that is what you use to trace your image!

How are you warming up before stretching? Are you pulling too hard? Are you following any instruction when doing these stretches? Often people are unaware of how to hold the pelvis or what to focus on in these stretches. Are you contracting the thigh muscle? If you’re interested there are all kinds of stretching lessons and routines here

Congrats on your twins!!!! Give the elbow time off until it feels better. Something to remember,most spins are not beginner (or getting back into pole) moves. So save those for after you have done some strength work on the pole first! You’ll find tons of information here and in the lessons for building strength, conditioning and stretching. All of the lessons on the site are placed in order and organized so you can focus on what you need to, like flexibility and strength. The 30 day take off program is part of the lessons, and will give you guidance as to what to work on every day for 30 days. It’s not a challenge but a program to build strength and prevent overuse injury. You’ll also find a lot of helpful information in the lesson descriptions as well! Here’s a video that explains it a bit more.

Day 25! Finally had a chance to get all warmed up and I surprised myself!!

Have you tried the technique I use in the new pole sit lesson here? There is no need to cross the leg over in pole sit if crossing doesn’t work. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/53ec46cd-edc0-42a5-957d-22160a9aa0eb 😊 Also, take a peek at the description of the wrist sit, if you cannot yet do a solid Pole Hold or the move is too challenging, simply move on to the next lesson for now. 💜

I’m pretty sure every pole dancer goes through this at LEAST once!

Watch this lesson, it will give you close ups of the hands and explain the proper way to grip. You will also find a list of lessons to work on for strength and stretching below the main player for both lessons.
Carousel spin this shows close ups and the concepts used here should be used for static holds too! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f859429-2dbc-41f1-86e4-282a0ac37250
Aerial bodywave. This video covers the Partial Split grip, allowing you to use the bicep more. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d2f086d-9d38-4e2f-8f09-0b800ac37250

Ibwould say keeping a day of rest between is generally a good idea. You could do back to back sessions but I wouldn’t suggest doing that too often. Listen to your body, if your forearms and hands start to become painful then it’s time to back off a bit. 💜
-
Oh ouch! Have you thought about trying gloves or a product called Dry Hands?
Ps I’m glad you liked my video! 😊
-
Love your leggings and your face 😜 I Polekat

I have to wait too, we just rolled back into Vegas tonight and this pose would not be a good idea after sitting for 8 hours!
The fart 💨 and 💩 are favs of mine too!!!

Day 24! 💨
-
That looks great Allyson!
Haha Dustbunny!! 💨💨

Yes, that one was an old misprinted challenge. The correct calendar is posted up near the top of this thread 🙂 I’m not at my computer so I can’t repost the photo yet 🙂
-
Day 23! Not sure if mine is right either, I haven’t looked for a video on it. 😳
-
Yeah, it looks like if you twist to that side you would have the other leg bent?
-
Finally had a warm spot to stretch in on our travels!! Playing catch up! Day 20, 21, 22!

Hi!
It’s very important to be aware of the shoulders and how they move. The video posted above is an excellent one I made, in addition to that video, you may want to look into the lessons here! I have many conditioning lessons just for shoulders along with stretches as well, and each video lesson is broken down explaining proper body positioning for every Pole move. 🙂

The lessons here will give you many tips for both of these issues. Here’s a look at my NEW pole sit lessons, hopefully it will help you out! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EzMUK26BpW0
