Cool thanks Che, I have idea’s now on how I might break down my basic climb even more now.
The whole goal of the basic pole climb is not to be pretty, not to be easy, it’s to build strength in the UPPER body. The goal isn’t even to do 2 right away, this could take weeks or months for a beginner with no strength background. You have to have a strong pole hold to do this climb.
I have other climbs that are more efficient, but they are not listed in the beginner section. I can’t be there with the person so I have to place everything in an order that will steer them into building strength first. If I were to add other options for beginners they would almost always choose doing the easier climb because they may not understand why the basic is there (to build strength) and just skip it because it’s not easy.
Jenka, how long have you been pole dancing? Strength does not come over night so do not feel too discouraged if you can’t do a move right away. How long have you been working on the related lessons placed below the main player to help build strength? 🙂

I have a closet with shoes in it that should not be opened some days. Why you ask? one word…BOYS!! lol This is all good info though.

If you’re taking the lessons here, the lower body routine will help you with this issue. It takes time to train the legs, but if you keep practicing it will get better! This routine has exercises and stretches that will help….https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52e9d171-5724-43b2-8784-47960a9aa0eb

My middle name is thigh gap LOL, just kidding. Really though, who ever told you this was incorrect! 🙂

Oh and….You don’t need a roller to start stretching, and I would suggest watching EACH of the “getting started” lessons place at the beginning of every lesson section, these will give you the answers you’re looking for.

Yes, gentle light yoga is one of the suggestions for Rejuvenation days. It’s covered in one of the early 30 day lessons, so it could be one you missed 🙂

That’s a great method Chem. The basic climb in the lessons here is focused on upper body with the goal being strength building, not efficiency. There are other climbs introduced later in the lessons that are more efficient, using mostly legs, taking less upper body effort. I like the squatting idea though, and may add that in to a revised lesson some day, if you don’t mind.

The vaulted doesn’t

Jenka, that is not the way I teach the basic pole climb. I don’t have you fully extending the arms and then bringing the legs up like that. We use the Pole Hold as the grip for the climb (arms are not fully extended) By using a Pole Hold you are building strength in the biceps and also it’s a better way to get a feel for proper scapula placement. I find when students raise the hands high over head the tend to hang off the arms, this is NOT what you want. Here is my basic pole climb

Yes, the ladies are right! 🙂 The lessons are placed in a specific order. The Veena climb is even more difficult then a basic pole climb, so if you cannot do 2 of the basic then I think you would find the Veena frustrating.

Stainless steel really works best when it’s broken in (heavily used). For me it doesn’t work well with my skin type and it’s so slick for me. You could try using this grip aid mix for now though!

If you have the lessons here please feel free to use what I have listed in the beginners section. You might also get some ideas if you take a look at the routines and combos section. Also I’ve added a section called Veena’s tips that has good info on scapula exercises and even tips for creating a pole routine.

Yes, yoga will be helpful, a background in group fitness or personal training is helpful too. Also, there is a lot of information online that you can study as far as muscle groups etc.

Hi Britafriedman, if you like please feel free to use the search function there are several topics on poling and pregnancy. 🙂

Sparrow, it’s in the lessons if you have them. On spin you don’t really swing way out like you would and you grab the pole with the back hand as well. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fc4dc2f-1bd8-4026-9725-02690ac37250

Sure, this video has some good general tips in it http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0
If you are taking the lessons you’ll find more tips on spinning pole at the end of most static spin lessons. 🙂

We can do overnight, but it’s very costly, around 180 dollars, but we would have to get a quote to know the cost for sure.

Have you watched the Getting started Spins lesson? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f7460cf-70a8-4b81-b84e-781e0ac37250
If you can answer yes to either of the questions asked towards the end in this lesson, then go for it. 🙂
Keep in mind that spinning poles uses HOLDS, therefore the body is usually kept in closer to the pole and so it’s not a hard on shoulders etc. Static spins use MOMENTUM and the goal is to keep the body moving away from the pole, which depending on the spin, can be more strenuous on the shoulders.

I have the SSA, xpole light stage, and xpole stage. I don’t suggest a stage if you want ease of use and quick set up. Also you’ll have a heck of a lot more to store if you by a stage pole….

OH and Congrats!!!!!!

The SV pole goes up and down super fast, has great grip, can be used on vaulted or flat ceilings (with the purchase of a vaulted mount) the draw back is the max height is 10 ft.
I would get a pole that’s 45mm
X-poles are great too and can be used on both vaulted or flat ceilings (with the purchase of a vaulted mount) I like the Brass or Titanium finish. Xpoles can extend higher than the SV pole.
We rent and I have 5 mounts in my ceilings, a mix of xpole and SV mounts. Screwing into the ceiling isn’t a big deal, you can fill holes easily.

I know there’s a few girls who are just getting back into pole again after having a baby, if they’re not too busy changing messy diapers maybe they’ll see this and reply. lol 🙂
I would give the 30 day take off program a try!

Very cool! I always keep SV cards in my wallet 🙂

When I talk about pole dance in the midwest, almost everyone replies with “I hear it’s a great workout”. Here in Vegas most people assume you are a stripper, some think you’re in a cirque show or something like that. I usually just let them assume what they will… what my “deal” is…. they can sit at the park and watch how good my kids are and wonder how a “stripper” can have such nice “normal’ kids!! If it’s someone I think would like to learn more about SV I tell them what I do for a living, as in this website and I teach.

Yes, we ease into thing so the body doesn’t get too sore when starting, then kick it up a notch. 🙂
