    Yes, if you don’t feel 100% sure of your grip don’t go for it. Glad you’re ok. If you haven’t watched it yet, my last Periscope was on fear and overcoming fears. I talk about how awareness is most important! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5632ba12-6de8-430c-bc75-1e2eac11006c

    I don’t think I have you doing pole holds yet by day 3? However, if you find the Pole Hold Strength lesson is too challenging start with the Pole Hold https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54921dfb-d4f0-474e-b098-238d0a9aa0eb This one gives you more options to work up to both feet off. 🙂

    If you have never poled before and have taken more than 4 days off from the program, start again. Keep in mind that I do include rest days so you’re not going to be working out everyday. I also include conditioning and flexibility training so there is no need to try and find other things to work on, unless you want to. Everything is there for you to progressively move on. Keep in mind that I tried to keep workout days under an hour most average about 30 mins of your time, that way those with kids and jobs can find time to fit in their training! Let me know if you have any other questions! 😀

    Oh and you can get a valued mount and they sell these sturdy competition level joints that make the pole more durable for higher ceilings. At least that is what I had been told before.

    Are you brand new to pole? If you have not been pole dancing before then yes, start over. If you have previously been dancing then it’s ok to start back where you left off. 😊

    That’s funny because someone today was asking pretty much the same questions and had been dancing off and on for 3 yrs!

    If you’re just getting back into things even if you don’t feel “new” to pole the 30 day take off program is a great place to start, it’s great for the on again off again poler! It will help you understand how to structure your pole practice, and allow you to build strength back up.

    If you have a phone with a camera just use that, you don’t need anything to fancy. You can even upload right to here from the phone. Maybe can you use your computer to play music while you record with the phone?

    This is the periscope I was talking about btw https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5632ba12-6de8-430c-bc75-1e2eac11006c

    October 29, 2015 at 8:37 pm in reply to: Lower back injury

    Have you seen a dr yet? Do you know for sure it was an injury or could it have been muscular soreness?

    If it’s an injury don’t continue to dance, you’ll need to take time off, we use our core including low back to stabilize and do so much in pole! jsheridan, has good advice.

    Often low back pain and injury comes from weak abdominals, and just weak core muscles in general. Improper body mechanics and technique can be a cause as well, so when you do get back to poling make sure to spend some times training the core and you’ll wanna be careful and be strict on form.

    Taking a week off won’t put you back and won’t allow muscles to atrophy significantly.

    People can let themselves be offended by anything. I think it’s all in the intention of the person, don’t over think it.
