ISis, you're thinking of two different things. There was a post about a SV "challenge" for abs, here is the video of moves for the challenge, the link with the calendar for the challenge is in the video description. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhDQzOk4weM&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF
My reply to Mummy was referring to a "program" that is included in lessons. It's called the 30 Day Take off Program. The program is FAR more involved then the ab challenge. With this program everything is presented for you for 30 days. I tell you when to rest, what conditioning, strength and pole work to do and stretches too! It also included tips. Here is the video for the Program. 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF

Mummyof3 If you've taken the lessons here, a good option is to use the 30 day take off program as a guideline. Just change out the pole work for whatever level you're at.
I recommend working on new moves 10 times then move on to something else to avoid excessive bruising and overuse injury.
Doing a freestyle for a whole song a few times a pole session you'll probably be getting some good cardio through that. If you do freestyle as a warm up make sure you avoid moves that heavily involve the forearms and shoulders until you've warmed up.

You don need a pole, feel free to do chair, floor, wall, or hula hooping instead!
-
You mentioned you also pole sat home. Are you taking the lessons here? There is no reason to feel you should invert on a timeline. To have a long healthy pole life you want to build strenght first then worry about things like inverts. There are tons of beautiful thing you can do that do not require inverts 🙂

I show you how to do it without using the bottom of the foot in this lesson. 🙂 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cbf2cc3-01c0-4abb-963b-2af60ac37250

Talk with your dr or midwife and if you have the ok, I suggest staying on the safe side, even in early pregnacy. In a performance situation you aren’t using a familiar pole and you’re dealing with other distractions so keep it within your total comfort level. IMO Congrats!!!!!!

Titanium!!!! Powder coated is my fav, but titanium is next for me!

Well it could be possible for I a shorter stage pole to maaaybe be faster. It seems the more pole the more wobble is possible on a stage, slowing it down. But that’s just a guess! Lol it really shouldn’t change though unless you climb up high.
-
Down low on stage poles tends to be fast. However they can slow down sooner then a mounted pole once you start climbing high and moving around because of the wobble they all have.

HI Velvetvixen!!! Never feel bad about not working on tricks. I went all last year and didn't learn ANYTHING new! It was nice to take some time and just dance and enjoy other things I love like hooping! Speaking of, not sure if you where here when I added Hula hooping lessons but they're here too! It's great to see you back, most of my favorite dances are not trick heavy but dancy!

HOHs probably due to music copyright……

This is so perfect!!! We love you Layla, and I can't wait to make a video!

There is no way to speed up healing a muscle or tendon/ligament injury. Best thing is time. I suggest working on your lower body lines and strength for now. 🙂

The strength exercise Pole Leg Lifts in the lessons would be helpful. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4db34cf5-c2bc-4c39-9487-24560ac37250
​The lesson for how to point the foot might help too because you need to hold the knees straight when performing this exersice. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50c8ace5-5db0-439e-828c-6a350ac37250
Any of the stretches in the lessons that stretch the hamstrings, and calves would help too.

This is an interesting topic!
I pole in the morning, so before I can dance I have to brush my teeth or it just feels wrong!!

Powdercoated!!!! Our SV pole is continuously impressing dancers with the grip! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

If you share your progress pics elsewhere feel free to hashtag #SV or #studioveena https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Everyone can become more flexible, to what degree depends on genetics, dedication and methods used.
If your taking the lessons here you'll see a list below the main player that shows what stretches, strength and other pole moves to work on, to help you achieve a move.
This lesson for the Ballerina is a good example of stretches to work on. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fa14cec-8224-4de4-87a9-2ec70ac37250
Also in the lesson descriptions you'll find what muscles we'll be stretching in each lesson. All muscle groups are placed together as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oops sorry about the typo! Lol
-
My suggestion, don’t do it! I concider this a professional level move because of the amount of strength and flexiblity needed. Injury is soooooo common with this hold. It’s not worth the risk for most pole dancers.

It's how they are, there's nothing wrong with it. You can contanct Lil mynx if you want to see what they suggest.

I’ve taken down 3 ceiling. Fans for poles!! Lol

The 30 day take off IS included in the lessons when you buy. Once you purchase the lessons you have full access to EVERYTHING https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Training off the pole to help "straighten" the legs during moves would be my suggestion. Learn proper technique for leg extensions, this means you need both strength AND flexibility in the right areas. Tight hamstring, flexors and calves can cause the bend leg look. But as you said strength can be an issue too. Strengthen the abdominal so the hip flexors and quads are not the only thing working! Be careful not to jerk or flop down from inverts while wearing the ankle weights. I don't suggest walking in them. I would watch how your hips, knees and low back might react to wearing ankle weights while inverting. So be careful if you choose to use them for anything other than on the floor strength work, because of the strain they can place on the tendons, ligaments and joints. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
