After having my last baby was when I decided to change how I taught pole! I designed the lessons here to build strength while learning. I know your already an instructor, but I thought I would just let you know. There is also a Pole Strength Routine, in the lessons and its a great workout. Everyone is right about muscle memory, it will come back. So for now just work on building strength.
Here's the 20 min routine https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4db64418-c354-4da5-aa23-464c0ac37250

Luvlee yes, there are a bunch of shoulder stretches in the lessons. Start with this one. Working on my shoulder flexibility did help with my advanced ballerina!

Oh my, don't use a swivel chair!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif It has to be a sturdy chair so you can rest your weight on it. Have you tried it without locking the feet? That variation is at the end of the lesson. Also while your trying to figure out placement for the feet and legs, are you using your bottom arm to rest your torso on? This can really help. Try taking a look at the lesson and maybe watching what the upper body is doing.

This lesson here shows both a closed knee hold (with toes locked) and open knee hold (with feet apart) https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d07835a-c7f4-46f1-87b1-630f0ac37250 I really recommend using a chair when first working on this move.

Sorry you felt that you were unwelcome. It seems that a strong, negative post will receive a strong reaction. Not everyone will or should agree with each other but it’s important to learn how to voice yourself without name calling or total disrespect. Disagreeable people tend to dislike a positive atmosphere.
If you have any other issues about the video I made please feel free to email me 🙂

Many veeners offered to help her and showed sympathy. Unfortunately her other interactions on this forum were aggressive as well. I don’t feel she was chased away.

I didn't know you just posted Mr. Web https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
Anyway….I was going to say. I am very blessed to have such amazing and supportive members. It's never a good feeling to have someone verbally attack you. I hope you all know how much I care about you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Those are good ones. Have you also been stretching the opposing muscle groups too? Sometimes we get so focused on stretching specific muscles we neglect others. Try including some stretches for the outer thighs and glutes. Using a foam roller in between stretches has help me. Also be sure your really, really, warm… try wearing warm clothing while you stretch to maintain heat. When your ready, there are some other nice stretches included in the middle splits routine.
-
No, I can't do them with knee forward either. I also think knees up looks nice! Do you have the lessons, I ask so I know if I can use terms/stretches used in the lessons? What have you been doing to work towards achieving them?
-
This is how I break it down for the purpose of the lessons:
Stretching is use to maintain! Stretching is done after any exercise, but your not going to the max and is only takes a few minutes.
Flexibility training is to gain! This is intense and therefore you will need to give the muscle a rest so they can recover. I only do Flexibility training 1-3 times a week.
I do Back mobility once a week and Legs no more than 2 times.
Like I said there are lots of methods for stretching though……
-
I would do a few days of heat and massage before stretching again. Then start with gentle stretching. Listen to your body. Massage is great because it will help prevent scar tissue from forming.
-
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.
-
No problem. I have not made any final decisions about the superman fall.
-
Try the cobra lesson 🙂 if your doing it right you can target upper, mid and lower!
-
Cool thanks!
-
Jagedup are you saying you perform with more than one person on the SSA?
-
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
