Oh yeah, so many over 40 here!!

You could try recording yourself to see of you are doing it correctly as well.

It should not be back strength. You must REALLY curl before lifting, if you are trying to pull up with legs straight and arching the back at all you’ll feel strain

If you’re working with a PT ask what they suggest as a replacement they see fit. 😉

Oh yes the pain of dancing on carpet! I use footundeez but they only help a bit, my toes still get stuck. Lol 😜
-
I hope you find a place to pole or have the funds to buy a pole soon!! Nice to see you back 😊

Sending healing vibes their way.

Hi 🙂
Yep check out the gallery here, the first have is dedicated to grips and common leg positions. You’ll also learn the terminology in the lessons here. Here’s the link, it can also be found at the top of the site and viewed mobily! https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/0a310416-85e2-11e1-adf5-12313d086a56
Here’s a snap shot of the grips

Pwullschleger, Stargazermomma is correct, everyone will progress differently.
Pwullschleger, I think you may have misunderstood the progression of the lessons. You don’t have to only work on the warm up for 3 weeks. 🙂 You have two options for using the lessons. 1) Watch all of the Getting Started Lessons placed at the beginning of each section. Then follow the lessons in the order they’re listed. The Getting Started lessons will explain each section and give you tips regarding how often to practice. 2) Try using the 30 Day Take Off Program, This will tell you exactly what to work on for 30 days, it ever tells you when to rest. If you want more of a workout after completing a day feel free to add on to it.
Let me know if you have questions 🙂

Yes, sounds like a tear, rest and try massage or foam roller for it. When getting back into working on things that require hamstrings, be sure to fully warm up first so you do not re-injure it. Some don’t respond well to ice after an injury like this, so you could also try heat, then massage. As long as you don’t have swelling, heat can be very helpful, it will increase blood flow and can speed up healing.

Ferrous, I missed your post.
1. This challenge is meant to build strength. You wouldn’t be doing the exercises long enough to burn fat, it only takes a few minutes to complete the challenge everyday. You can start the challenge anytime you like.
2. Rest day are just as important as working out, if you don’t rest you’re muscles will not recover well and you will hinder your results.
I suggest pairing this challenge with a cardio based workout if you’re looking for weight loss.

Lol that’s a lot of counting by day 30!!

Right 1, left 2 😋

It can and will come back! I remember feeling the same way my first time back after baby. Make sure you’re drinking enough water and eating enough (especially if you’re breastfeeding). Start from the beginning and work back up into everything. If you have the lessons here, there’s a section called the 30 day take off program that would work well for you. Give it time! 🙂

Tropical, once you’ve healed you may want to avoid using the Twisted Grip and use a Split grip instead. That TG can really do a number on, wrist, elbows and shoulders.

Hi Pretty Pixie 🙂 Yes, Megan is correct, you don’t need to stretch muscles everyday to gain flexibility, and when starting it can tighten them up!
Here’s a video with some tips for stretching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ZZE2GTBiQ

Hula hoop
Lyra
Yoga
strength training (using suspension trainer, the pole, bands, body weight)
Occasionally swim.I always workout around the same time of day, after breakfast, and have a recovery meal or shake after.

REST! 🙂 Also how often were you poling? I rarely pole dance more than 3 times a week, there will be some weeks I pole 5 or 6 days but that’s never when I’m just getting back into pole and I don’t go at that pace for more than a week or so. I also make sure I vary my pole work, for example I don’t work split grip moves heavily two days in a row. If I did a lot of split grip work the day before, the next day I might focus on leg grips or floor work. 🙂
You will not loose too much strength taking 2 weeks off, and what you do loose it will come back quickly…IF you let your body heal. xoxox

Have you been working on Pole Holds in class? If not these can be really helpful for climbs because you learn how to anchor yourself allowing you to remove the legs.
Here is the Pole Climb lesson if you have a subscription https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/233115a0-b889-11df-856f-001b214581be You’ll see below the main player a list of 7 other moves you can work on to help you achieve the goal of a climb. 🙂

Hamstrings are alway my nemesis. When I stop stretching I have a hard time even touching my toes!
Runemist, I have a new flowmotion stretch lesson coming that I like to do for my Hamstrings! -
Oh, I have something that will help those who want to work towards this stretch. The new lesson I posted for the Pelvic tilt! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/53e179c2-be8c-4f2d-9693-16850a9aa0eb
And looking good Sparrow!

OMG you poor thing! I good rule to follow is to make around 10 attempts when it comes to a move. This will help you avoid excessive bruising and overuse injury. Let your skin fully heal before trying the pole sit again. Pole should not make you bleed! Feel better soon!

Hi! The lessons address leg lines often, but you may also want to check out the Lower Body Routine for even more help. 💜https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52e9d171-5724-43b2-8784-47960a9aa0eb

A tennis ball against the pecs on the wall feels great too!
