    My husband used a hole saw attached to a drill, however, you don’t have to make it round, it could just be a square piece of wood. It’s not attached by anything, only the lil mynx screw runs though it. 🙂

    I’ll clarify, the 30 day program is a section in the lessons.

    Are you trying to get to the first video you see when you signed up? That would be the “getting started” lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250

    OR are you trying to get to the first day of the 30 day Take off program? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50d407f6-6738-46d9-bca7-32260ac37250

    For my metal vaulted Lil mynx mount we made a small (slightly larger then the mount) wood piece, and it has worked super well. I’ve not had trouble with the regular white mount, but the metal gave us some issues becoming loose, adding that small piece made all the difference!!!!

    The very first video is the introduction to the program, the tasks for that day are not to physically do anything, but rather, to watch and listen, familiarizing yourself with the way the lessons are placed, by watching and reading the descriptions for each “getting started” Lesson. The warm up is there as an example for you to watch, then you’ll have a better idea of what you’ll be doing tomorrow. 😊

    I know carpet isn’t what you want, but I’ve seen people use a large rug under the pole.

    Our Powder coating makes for a very consistent grip, and it’s the only pole that switches from static to spin with the push of a button, and the BACK to static by lifting the button up. It’s also super fast and easy to put up and remove, it takes some muscle to do it, but I love how convenient it is!

    What I posted is not a challenge it’s a program, very in-depth it’s a guide for polers just starting or getting back into pole after a long break.

    There was an ab challenge I posted publicly, this is not a step by step but general tips and exercises for ab training using the pole.

    This is common for new pole dancers, and I feel it can be prevented! Before working on an static spins a poler should do conditioning and strength training for the wrist, and shoulders. Then once you’ve worked a few weeks on this and other pole work that builds strength you can move on to static spins. Keep in mind, that you should work up to one handed spins, they are the most taxing on the joints. There are some great conditioning lessons here if you are interested. 🙂

    Hi, and welcome! A month is not a long time and there isn’t a set by month one you “should be this” far, for pole dancers. We all have our own journey and some are able to work daily because pole is their profession, others pole dance because it’s simply fun, a great workout, or an expression for them, so progress will not be important.

    It sounds like you could benefit from the lessons as others mentioned. I have everything place in an order in which to progress, this way you don’t have to teach yourself or figure out what to do at home! As mentioned I also have the 30 day take off program, this will give you 30 days of structured lessons that will increase your strength and improve you pole progress!

    For pole grip issues, first make sure your new pole is super clean try steam!! Don’t put on lotion right before poling, however, if you have normal to dry skin and live in a cool/cold climate, you might find that a non greasy lotion like Lubriderm hours or the night before you pole very helpful. If you slip because to sweaty hands try a grip aid like dry hands, if you’ve cleaned your pole and warmed up well, but still slip, try Might Grip and Dew point they work magic for cold pole rooms! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgvvc2uvcFw

    January 15, 2014 at 9:57 am in reply to: Help with pole posture..and posture in general…

    The conditioning lessons here, and well, all of the lessons here will help!! I cover proper posture each time we go through a new move and the strength and conditioning will help train your body, the key is consistency and being aware of when you go back to your poor posture. Wanting to change, it and knowing its not right, is great, but you wont see an improvement until you start physically retraining the body and mind, muscle memory is a powerful thing!

    Here is a video that has suggestions for overall posture and proper abdominal contraction. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NznyiEdLrDE

    Using the legs is an option for the pole hold when starting out. Remember, you’re not pulling up at all, you’re holding, in the pole hold position, not pulling up higher then where ever you started. It’s perfectly normal to slide down or need to use the legs until you become stronger.

    The lessons in the conditioning section have a bunch of exercise that you should work on before you start pole dancing again, I believe there’s 10. [www.studioveena.com]

    Avoid things like one handed spins, until you’ve really build a good foundation again! This video is helpful in preventing shoulder injury.
