    Here’s a good example of cross training with the hoop! These tricks would strengthen the hands, wrists, forearms, and even shoulders!

    Pain like this is commonly an intercostal, rhomboid, or muscles of the scapula.

    Prevent it by warming up of course but most of all invert with control! A swing of the leg is fine as long as the upper body is placed correctly along the pole. This is how you hold the scapula correctly and perform a proper invert without jerking your upper body. Placement, using a Side Pole Hold, is so important when inverting, use the arm pit and save your back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3V_2DsxgE

    The SV pole has a special process done to it that gives it a “softer” feel, than regular powder coating. It’s still grippy with out the harshness of some PC poles. That’s the best way I can describe it. 🙂

    Hula hooping is actually good training too! When I hoop off the body, on legs, arms, wrists it strengthens those areas. It’s been great for my shoulders and wrists. When I hoop on my body is great cardio!

    You might be able to Velcro them some how so they stay. I thought about making mats too but I found foam to be very spendy!

    That’s a fantastic name for it!!! haha Everyone has great tips. I don’t have much to add, just keep at it. I will said that doing a cartwheel, (head goes forward and down) is usually easier to master straight legs then the handspring, (head back and down)!

    Everyone has great advice! In addition to magnesium and potassium I’ve been told calcium is helpful for those who suffer from muscle cramps. Staying hydrated is super important too. I agree that it could just be your muscles working so hard that they cramp.

    Over all my power coated pole has a more consistent grip, however if my room is cold then even my pc, can be an issue. Not as bad as metal finish poles but still not amazing in the very cold weather. I have a video I’m uploading right now that might give you a solution to your cold pole problems!!!

    It’s the number of times you do each exercise in a row. So you would perform 9 Knee tucks in a row then move on to the next exercise.

    You are not alone! I have the same issues with chrome and even Titanium and brass in the cold weather. I step away for a minute and then my body has cooled enough that I can’t grip. I’ve been using my Brass x pole this week and started mixing Dew point with Mighty grip on top. I can now grip the pole cold! However, I haven’t tried it on my chrome or titanium. On the brass it works amazing! Next time I dance I’ll put my chrome up and give it a try!!

    Jacquespinz, being that you do other physical activity sounds like 2 times a week is a good fit! To change things up a bit you could replace the Pole Strength Routine, with the Shoulders and abs routine one day and the Chest and Back the next time you do your pole workout! So you can rotate through those workouts!

    So it’s been years since my abs have been sore after pole dance. Practicing this 12 days of xmas song however has made them sore!!!! It’s a great way to condition, lol

    This morning I FINALLY made it through without stopping, but messed up. Will try again in a day or 2! I’d like to do it without any mistakes. I’ve save the video from today just incase I can’t pull it off!!!

    Oh and feel free to even post attempts and clips try the 12 days. I can’t wait to see some more Holiday dances too! xoxox
