Verticali, has some great advice!
Gail, if you're ready to work on the lessons on your own remember to start with the "Getting started lessons" Place at the beginning of EACH lessons section. These lessons will tell you how often to workout and give you tips and advice on how to use the individual lessons.
Here is the first one to watch. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250

Yeah if you want a pole to travel with go with xpole.

Nymph, I don't have dry skin issues here in Vegas! Yay! Also once I started using lubriderm lotion I didn't have as much trouble with grip in the midwest, my biggest issue now is more that my skin cools off so much that I have no sweat to help me grip. I love how well my body grips the SV pole in the cool temps. I was pleasantly surprised! We'll see how it handles sweat pretty soon because the temps are climbing 🙂
Calipolepixie, we will not be at pole expo this year, however if I'm in town please shoot me an email and you would be more than welcome to come try out the pole!!

It's normal to rely too much on the foot when first learning however, as you mentioned, try to focus on pressing into the pole with the inside of the knee and use the front of the shin to climb as well. You should also be using the upper body a lot when doing a basic climb. To aviod over using the foot try climbing with the foot pointed, it's challenging but will help you feel how to use the legs more. Keep in mind there are several methods for climbing though!
The performance climb allows you to use the inside of the knees more then a basic pole climb. Here is the lesson for the perfomance climb https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50fd8f5a-d024-4cbb-a4df-74830ac37250
and here's another, the x ankle climb https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/f7c4b0ac-b91e-11df-856f-001b214581be

Gail12, I'll make a video as soon as I'm feeling up to it.
-
Yes pdr it no longer applies to the new style pole we are selling. I would think you would know better, I won’t sell just anything! :/
-
Athena30 both brands are great poles! But I love how FAST the SV pole goes up and down. I hoop a lot in my pole space and to be able to take it down and put it back up in seconds is soooo great. I like the powder coated grip for my body and the switch from spin to static is fast. Oh and it's light so moving it around isn't any trouble.

I think it's on the Red end of the purple spectrum, I guess Webmaster and I see things differently! It's basically our logo color.
-
Oh also watch all of the getting started lessons listed first in every section, they will tell you how often and give you a guideline for your pole sessions

If your trying to build strength try using the 30 day take off program. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/50e4694e-a85c-4fa0-8e66-61940ac37250

If you already have a 45 I think trying a new size is a great idea. I love my 45s and my 40. I use my 45s the most though, and it's quickly becoming the standard size.

It can, impede flexibility if you do not stretch after your weight training sessions. I have been lifting for over 12 years now and know first hand that if I don't keep up with flexibility training I will tighten up. However, I have some of the best flexibility sessions right after lifting! I get some of the best results when stretching after strength training, this is why I feel it's important to do flexibility work when the muscles are very warm.
When I do my weight training I stretch in between sets and then after I've finished lifting.
As far as becoming bulky that is more of a genetic issue, I'm a tall, thin, endomorph so "bulking up" would be very hard for me. Shorter women tend to look more "bulky" because the have shorter limbs, it does not have to affect your flexibility though.
-
Good Zoeyxxxx, yes Megan, getting the butt up is the hardest part! You have to make sure your gripping really low between the legs with the hands when you start so your head is as far down as it can be.
-
I find my chest and shoulders do a fair amount of the work in a flag invert too, not just abs. Here's a video where it's shown in slow motion. You'll see how I keep my legs in a L position with the hips stacked one on top of each other, Then open into V legs, and last tuck the lower leg lifting up. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/500d6129-fd58-49bf-8a6e-73600ac37250

Runemist, I rarely do CAR, most things can be done with CKR anyway so if it doesn't work for you no big deal. Also, I think your inverting is fine, and that it's really a matter of just practice now. Dwilzie, if you could post a video of your attempts it would be helpful.

This is the way I clean my poles now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjeYnLLaBw&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ&index=8

Even though March is over I hope more people do this challenge!
-
Did you send webmaster and email about it?
-
My xpoles don’t spin on their own at all. They almost spin on their own if I’m using the vaulted ceiling mount (my poles spin faster if I use the mount) however if it catches hard as youbturn it then you need to slightly loosen the pole.

Most thigh holds are done along the inner upper thigh but not way up by the crease. You want to be on the fleshy part of the thigh, not up too high on any tendons. If you've become stronger in the adductor (inner thigh) area, thicker muscle could be causing you to feel pain more. Or if you are using a different diameter pole or pole finish.
If it's not any of those things, do you think maybe your just more aware of the pain now, maybe before you were so excited to be doing hip holds you didn't notice the pain? Also when we are close to or have our periods our pain tolerance is much lower maybe thats it?

This video has some tips too. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCtinAzp17s0

This might give you some tips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ&index=20

I feel ya, and don't worry you're not alone. This video might give you a few pointers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ&index=20
If I've been off the pole I have to start slow and I always stay upright for the first few sessions if I'm doing spinning pole. If you are doing static spins try breaking it up, don't do a bunch of spins in a row. If you are just starting to pole again after taking a break working on strength building moves first are a good idea anyway, then move on to spins.
-
I like xpole and lil mynx.

This may be helpful. Here is a video in the lessons called, When to Spin. It also covers the difference between static spins and spinning pole holds.
