2 each side because you are also strengthening the upper body, so it’s important to switch sides 😊

I usually hoop daily or use hooping as my warm up for pole dance. Pole dance is far more strenuous on the body then hooping so when you’re beginning stay with 3 times a week at the most, leaving a day of rest between the pole sessions. Resting allows muscle to recover and grow. If you are taking the lessons here you may want to try the 30 day take off program, it will give you a guideline to follow including when to stretch, strengthen, work on pole work. Add in hooping where ever you like!
Here’s the getting started video for the 30 day program https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0
The 2 videos below the 30 days have helpful tips for pole sessions.

Hot bath, water, food and sleep!!

In no way should a beginner be inverting 🙂 I was just trying to understand what you are doing. You should not be jumping into a pole sit either, I would suggest working on pole holds, this will allow you to build up strength so you can support your body weight allowing you to lift your legs up as slowly as you like 😊

Charlotte do you know the name of the move you are jumping into? In general as a beginning dancer jumping into something isn’t suggested. Are you inverting (hips flip up over head? or just trying to climb up the pole?

I like a slightly glossy finish, but really you’ll want to be able to feel a sample and choose, you might like something else.

Before inverting with heels, work on inverting from the balls of the feet, if this goes well then move onto heels. If inverting from the balls of the feet is challenging work on that until you become comfortable. The technique when inverting with heels should be the same as without. Having a very strong side pole hold will be more important when you invert in heels because it will allow for more control when you feel like a deer on ice wearing heels. If your not using the side pole hold method for inverting then you may be relying too much on using the force of the feet to bring you up. If you have the lessons check out the Basic invert lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50eafb60-e868-4d1b-bc49-75780ac37250
If you don’t have the lessons this video has some tips for improving your inverts starting at 7:50 towards the end of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3V_2DsxgE&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF

It’s totally normal and happens to everyone! Have you see this? There’s nothing wrong with just enjoying what you know, it’s ok to take a break from always trying to learn new tricks. Maybe try perfecting the ones you already know? https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/Not_always_a_superstar_20140408064117

Awe thank you, Mr webmaster does an amazing job. I use the site on my phone all, the, time I’m too lazy to open my computer if I’m not working lol

The lesson layout is the same on the computer as it is on the phone. Really the only thing you don’t see mobility is all the Features at the top and the side banner. 🙂

Also keep in mind the Featured lessons in the daily update are random….UNLESS I’m posting new lessons, then you’ll always see the newest lessons posted.

If you click on the Lessons tab you’ll see all of the sections of lessons to choose from, when you click on the section you want you’ll see all lessons in that section, just scroll though. Also as mentioned everything is placed together in muscle groups when it comes to stretching and stretch sections. Pole work is grouped by progression. Here’s a video that may help you see what functions the site has. 🙂

If you want a guideline to follow try the 30 day take off program, you’ll have 30 days of me telling you exactly what to do for 30 days. Including what stretches, conditioning, strength, pole work, everything! Also keep in mind that all lessons go in order, and each section has a getting started video that tells you info you’ll need to know about the section. Don’t forget to read the Descriptions for each lesson also listed below the main player are ‘related’ lessons that you can use to build up to the lesson shown on the main player if you are having trouble with the lesson. 🙂

If you are 5 10 you may want to stay with the 45. I love playing with my 40, but I wouldn’t say it’s better than my 45, just different, anything where hands do most of the work, it’s easier. If you can try one somewhere do it. I say 45 is the safest size to go with because it between both! I personally have every pole finish and size, except for 38mm and the new silicone. I never use my 50s unless I have to for some reason. lol

Yes I love my TG but not in Vegas summer time. If you sweat tg isn’t usually a good fit, I’d go with brass. Some like PC for sweat, and it is better than the TG in that way, but if you sweat all over and live where is get hot often then brass is good.
