Thanks Angel! I have that DVD!! Its good, but I'm too lazy to do resistance stretching. LOL I could never get into it.

Polefairy, there are lots and lots of methods for stretching. Its ok to try all kinds and use what works for you!

If you have questions about how often ect. Try watching the Getting Started Stretching lesson also read all descriptions for all lessons. They have tips and important info for you. All stretches are placed in order according to muscle group so you can create your own routine if you like.

The girl was a real member and was taking the lessons, she had also posted in previous forum topics. She has asked to be removed, so there is really no need to continue on with this topic. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Healing time will vary depending on how bad the pull was and how you treat it. Heat and massage or foam rolling would be good for it. See a Dr if it doesn't start feeling better soon.

Are you more comfortable working on them with knees up or facing forward? Have you tried both? The 4 point stretch helped me out. It's at min 9:15 ish in the Middle Splits Routine.  

[Veena]

No problem. I have not made any final decisions about the superman fall.

[Veena]

Try the cobra lesson 🙂 if your doing it right you can target upper, mid and lower!

[Veena]

Cool thanks!

Jagedup are you saying you perform with more than one person on the SSA?

[Veena]

I had/have something similar..if I'm understanding your description. I have been training with free weight for over 10 yrs. This pain was an issue that just popped up while very pregnant with baby #3. Has been an ongoing issue ever since. I have found something that worked for me though!! Oh I had my kidneys ect check and it's all good.

I started focusing on conditioning my core including the muscles along the spine. By conditioning, I mean focusing on the smaller sometimes under used, muscle groups. mulifidus ect.

I pay close attention now to maintaining a neutral position of my pelvis.

I started working on my back mobility (helps sooo much)

I bought a new bed.

If I stop paying attention to my posture spine and pelvis and stop doing my conditioning work it comes back!

My favorite exercise is hard to describe (I hate typing out instruction) so if you would like I can meet you in chat sometime and show you what I do.

Thanks, Polecat, I appreciate the acknowledgement greatly.

Trust me, Webby is sexy, otherwise we wouldn't have so many kids LOL

I had filmed a shot of the EZ connect (was going to show how simple it was to take apart)  but decided to cut it because it took Chris and all his muslce to disassemble the pole joint. The EZ connect was not so easy to disconnect.  Video was not about how to put the poles together, we didn't show how the X pole locks into place ect….

[Veena]

Oh Webby beat me to it! I bet you'll hear back

[Veena]

Ah you won, Your vid was so cute!! Congrats

[Veena]

@ PaytonPlays, I did what I was asked to do, demo/test both poles. This was not about who had the "better pole", I simply showed each pole and honestly shared our experience with it. This is what I was asked to do.

[Veena]

Thanks for watching!!!

[Veena]

Thank you Polergirl for the great idea!!!!!

No, amy I have had it for a few years…its a clothing steamer for sewing (that I never do). https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I bought it to steam my backdrops. Recently it occurred to me that it might be a great way to clean the pole, and sure thing!! It also warms the pole up so its ready to use in this cold weather. Maybe there should be competition steamers for warm, clean poles!!! LOL

[Veena]

I have been steaming my poles clean. It takes off grip aids REALLY well, and works in seconds!!

[Veena]

Yep I’ll post the 2 I’m having a difficult time deciding!!!

Im thinking foxy lady for sure but can’t decided on the other? Help! Lol

[Veena]

Check the position of your pelvis!! If your tipping it forward or backwards as you lift? This can cause pain. Also when your doing conditioning or strength work always stretch after, to help maintain muscle length.

Try working on theses Pole Leg Lifts https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4db34cf5-c2bc-4c39-9487-24560ac37250whiile holding a neutral pelivs. 

 

[Veena]

Yes Legend your right. The move I first posted was starting on one side then flipping over to the OPPOSITE side. You can do a Full Cartwheel and Full Roundoff on the SAME side of the pole as well. The top hand should be holding the pole tumb down/true grip. There sould be no twisting of the wrist for any of these moves.

Here is an old video of me working on the full cartwheel and Round off …I show the difference between the two towards the end of the video. 4:20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVI52As_K3Y

Is this what you mean? https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4eef9c5f-9318-4a74-93be-071b0ac37250 1:34 ish

Ok loving these, I'll make the "official" post tomorrow for the challenge. Please feel free to post some more song ideas. I like the thought of both older and news songs, one of each.

[Veena]

Yep, we know about it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
