I would start with conditioning and strength before jumping back into things. You’ll want to be sure you’ve worked on these things before going back to what you were doing also I would avoid any Forward Lateral 1 hand spins for a while. But it’s not like you have to only do beginner work for months, just be sure to listen to your body and do whatever the DR suggested.

Lightinwolf, Our first part of our travels will be through CA, however we are headed over there to see my newest little niece, (we haven’t seen her yet!) before we head towards North Dakota to see more family. It will be a fast trip through CA and to up to San Fran. If you know of a studio that would be interested in a workshop let me know and I can see if it would work into our schedule.
Allyson, from what I understand many times you have to pay a fee to use parks for workout gatherings. So yes, studios are the best option so I don’t end up with a fine!!

Yes, we will be posting our planned destinations for everyone and we plan on providing a place on SV so you can follow our travels. We are still planning out how we will go about taking requests for workshops, so those who are interested keep your eyes open!! Also remember we cannot possibly visit everyone, but we will do our best!!
Some basic options for workshops are: Pole, Flexibility, Chair dance and Hula hoop. For Chair and hula hoop, the studios would need to have access to metal folding chairs, and quality (no kids toy hoops) for hooping.

There are several previous discussions on this topic if you would like to do a search for more info. Here is one that I found https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/338
Always listen to your body, now is not the time to work on new things or push yourself. Congrats to both of you!!!!

Um, yeah I’m coming to Fargo!

I would love to but I HAVE to take a rejuvenation day today!

Work on both if you can, however I will say I suggest learning new inverts and even spins on static first. Inverts for safety reasons and spins on static because learning to get the timing and technique down for static can be really tough if you learn ONLY spins on spinning pole. 🙂 I show you both static and spin in the lessons here.

The white mount you see in the video is not the vaulted. You need to select the vaulted option when ordering your SV pole, it’s only 30 bucks extra. You will still receive the regular mount too and yes both mounts use only one screw!! I rent and I have 3 sv mounts up!!
-
Both xpole And our SV pole can be used on slanted ceilings all you have to do is purchase the ceiling adaptor! I have my SV pole on a slanted ceiling right now 🙂
-
Yep what Chem said!
-
Do you have the lessons here? If so I can share a bunch of links for lessons you can use to work on strength and mobility for the feet. It’s something that is often overlooked, but our feet are our foundation! 🙂
-
Nope, I leave mine up!! My family wasn’t always supportive some still have issues with all the poles in my home, but it’s your home. I feel if I hide it it’s only confirming to them that pole is dirty or something done in private. For a while my in laws refused to stay at our house because of the poles, however, they now stay and we have a good time even with a big ass pole in the main living space! 😊
-
I work out in the morning and often take a nap in the afternoon 💤
-
Always here to light a🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 under someone’s ass 😊

Do you have a link to the move?

Thank you so much everyone! You never know how things will be received when you open yourself up like this, so it’s a relief and honor to read all of your replies. I really hope we can continue to encourage each other to pole for the love of pole and not for glory or status. I’ve seen beautiful dancers leave pole dance because they felt left behind and I don’t want anyone to feel left out, it’s a terrible feeling. I want pole dance to be a positive experience and be a source of pride, because even a pole sit is a challenge in the beginning!!

For someone who’s new to exercise 2 hrs is a long time to workout, I think it’s a long time for anyone who is not a professional athlete! When I first started lifting weights 15 yrs ago I would be sore all…the…time…and would train 6 days a week, but it was one of those things you heard everyone say, no pain, no gain. I feel they were wrong or maybe I’m just getting lazy… nah… I say just smarter with age, haha.
If you are tweaking your back or finding you need to care for injuries after working out I would suggest taking a closer look at form and technique. After having babies I have to be extra diligent about properly holding my pelvis and contracting the abs. If I get lazy and just dance without being aware of this, I will know right away and my back and hips will be unhappy.
For the past few yrs now I no longer push that hard everyday and my body is stronger and looks better then it did yrs ago! I workout about 5 days a week and often one of those days is hula hooping or something like balance work, poling everyday just doesn’t happen for me, I like to switch up my workouts. The days I don’t do a “proper” workout I ride bike with Henry or do something like walk to the park with him. It’s important to me to not sit around, I dislike sitting!
I know you said you carb load before, but what are you eating right after, it’s very important to refuel the body with a good balance of carbs and protein after. Also make sure you get enough iron and healthy veggies like greens make a huge difference in my recovery! Eating well REALLY helps with my energy level.
So short answer, yes if I do an intense workout I will feel wrecked too.

I love the conversation this has sparked! 💜

Melissa, you mention you’re fairly new to pole. How long have you been poling? Something to keep in mind is that one handed spins and things like reverse grabs are not beginner level spins. These require flexibility and strength that usually takes time to build up to so you do not hurt yourself. If you are new to pole you should not expect to have an easy time with spins like the reverse grab. Can you easily do a Chair spin?
-
Thank you Jolene and Princess, I’m glad it was helpful!
Saphyre, I completely agree!
-
This video has some tips for using a spinning pole. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0
-
Also if the 10 mins of stretching was done before working out, I would suggest switching your stretching to the end of your workout.
-
Ssecnirpc, were these your first workouts in a while? If so Johnssdeere is right, it’s probably just soreness from getting back into things. Just make sure you are eating well and sleeping.

I would contact lil mynx for any trouble shooting. 🙂
