No problem, if you any questions please feel free to email me. The tennis ball works wonders for me!

Try doing the negative… So start from a pole climb, the feet are not touching the foor then try lowering down from a pole hold position, making sure te shoulder are engaged. So instead of pulling up your lowering down… The key is to do it with control.

You all have some great routines! I'll share one of mine with you…I change mine often depending on how much time I have. This is a more advanced routine for someone who has been dancing for a while and for someone who has the TIME. Don't we all wish we had more time!
Monday – Free weights, (full body) Flexibility at night
Tuesday – Dance in the morning (like floor transitions fluidity few pole tricks) and hooping, Heavy Flexibility training at night.
Wednesday – Pole work (new moves and dancing through whole songs)
Thursday – Dance and hooping in the morning, Heavy Flexibility training at night
Friday Free weights (full body) Flexibility at night
Saturday REST
Sunday Dance, hoop, pole. OR Flexibility training at night. I pick one of the 4.
This is NOT a suggested routine for new dancers!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cop.gif I'll do this for about 2-4 weeks and then back off to pole dancing 3 times a week or less with no free weights, and hooping, handstands and more balance work on the non pole days. Variety is great https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yep, sometimes less is best Coatcheckgirl, so even one session a week can help 🙂

MissKitty, its not really within my scope of practice to tell you exactly what to do. But I have pulled my Semitendinosus and this is what I did. Heat and more heat….then….Lot and lots of foam rolling and tennis ball rolling. The tennis ball hurts like you wouldn't believe but it was very helpful. I only did gentle stretching, in between rolling on the ball, and only to the point where it didn't hurt. This went on for about a week, Then once I started to notice the hamstring wasn't hurting in my daily life I began working on flexibility and strength training again. For a long time I had to warm it and roll it really really well before I did anything. Pulls/strains all take time to heal, I still have trouble with my foot and that was over 7 months ago! But it is getting better slowly……

Hello and welcome!!! xoxo

haha Miraine is ok, I get why you would be upset! For me, the issue was, the time I have to take to change settings. I don't stay on FB 24/7 and I don't like to spend my computer time changing settings, I'm not computer savvy despite what everyone might assume! Even with instruction I still get confuse!….. Twitter it is!
-
My main reason for the post was to let everyone know I'll be on Twitter more. I don't want to have to rely on FB to keep everyone up to date. http://twitter.com/#!/StudioVeena

there is more change coming…… Chris watched alive broadcast, of Mark Zuckerbrg explaining things they have planned. Its going to get a lot more complicated!! I have thought most of the changes that have upset others in the past were fine…. free or not I still have the right to be annoyed. LOL

For the purpose of the lessons…the term Stretching: means to maintain.
Flexibility training: means to increase. But most people just call everything stretching as a general term https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
-
For flexibility training….I always do it AFTER strength training. Your going to need to stretch after anyway to maintain flexibility, so if you have the time might as well do a flexibility session!! I personally don't have time for that after I train with weights or pole, so I only stretch each muscle group after a workout. I stretch in between sets as well, I like to lift on the heavy side and I'll tighen up if I don't (my hamstrings are the worst). I do all of my flexibility training at night when the kids have gone to bed.

Yes, new lessons are send out in the Daily Newsletter under the featured lessons. There are always 2 featured lessons posted in the Daily. Not all of the featured are new, but when I do post new lessons, that is where they are. New lessons are also posted under the lessons section on the front of the site.
-
Roamy, if I post any new lessons they show up in the daily newsletter and on the front of the site in the lessons category. I also share them out on my twitter account on the Studioveena.com Facebook page. My goal is to have "How to Make a Hoop" up by next week sometime. I have not been feeling well since Friday. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

If your taking the lessons I have a bunch on Back Mobility. There are 11 total and we work on back flexion and extension. Starting with this one. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4ddfb933-22f0-4762-b396-642a0ac37250 I think it's important to learn to use the Multifidus when working on arching to protect the spine. This is a great exercise for learning how to "feel" this overlooked muscle group. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dff4991-0b24-4269-80a0-26c90ac37250

Oh, that's looking pretty good there Shellecta. For most it's really an issue of needing more flexibility. It's difficult and nearly impossible to get into the proper positioning for moves like the Jade, Allegra and Chopsticks without flexibility. Being able to open up the hips is really important for the Allegra, this will allow you to release the top leg while keeping the pole at the back. Working on Scorpio and practicing droping the hip to add spin like I do, will help with this move.

@ Vintervid, you don't have to agree with me…..I think that it's important to explore all methods of stretching! I would never suggests there is only ONE way, I don't think there is only one way to do anything! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif However, I stand by my word when I say never do your flexibility training (this is different than stretching) cold. We are not discussing children stretching, we're talking about women who are in their 30's, who may have never had previous stretching experience. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
That is really good progress Shellecta! You should be proud!!!
DedeJoy..yay about your Jade!
-
I should have been more specific….. Never do your flexibility training with cold muscles… This can slow progress, you could even become less flexible then you were and increase injury. I explain in my lessons that stretching is different than flexibility training…. Sorry for being too general!
-
YES!!! Anyone at any age can increase their flexibility! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifAs far as becoming flexy fast….this will very from person to person. Another thing to consider, make sure to work on your flexibility as a whole, not just work towards the splits. I think you mentioned on another thread, that you'll be getting the lessons here, so when you do, check out this lesson. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd66731-eab0-4b4a-aa13-41ad0ac37250 It will give tips and info on stretching and flexibility training.
Some helpful things you should know:
Never stretch a cold muscle…ever!
If you find your sore after stretching, then your probable stretching too far, this can slow progress
Start with stretching no more than 3 times a week. Less is sometimes more! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Sorry on my phone … I was simply offering a suggestion to help you…. My first pole was a ps pole…. I was not impressed.
