Hey! Glad you stopped by to say hello https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I'm excited to discover a male dancer who prefers the artistic side of pole rather than sport! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

RoseMay, I do have different stretches posted as individual lessons that are not included in the routines. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
LopsiJuile, is right about how I created my routines, they are quick yet effective. I know most people don't have time to spend stretching for hours. I also don't feel that you should be sore after a stretch…if you are you have either not warmed up enough or pushed too hard. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cop.gif You do not need a foam roller to do the lessons or routine, I give options for those who do not have a roller. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif The individual lessons are focused on proper technique like RoseMay mentioned…I feel this is VERY important. If your trying to stretch by only looking at how someone else is holding the pose, you may not be getting all of the benefit of the stretch, with out detailed instruction. My routines are not as in depth (as the individuals) because you should have already worked on these lessons before starting the routines (as recommends at the beginning of each routine)
Also the routine is only a guideline…you can hold moves longer or do the whole thing 2 times if you like. Change the order or swap out other stretches that are listed in the individuals. I highly suggest you play around with frequency, how long your hold, order in which stretches are performed.
All individual lessons are placed in a row according to the muscle groups stretched, so you can simply hit the next button if you wanted to spend more time on a stretching, then the routines offer.
If possible, it's always best to use all resources you have available to you.
LopsiJulie…it was nice to see your thoughtshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

No worries if it's late…I have my pole down for shooting hooping lessons… But I really want to do this challenge so I'll be posting late too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

opp when I say wearing "it" I meant both the bottoms and top are Mika 🙂
-
I have some! I love the top so much, I'm just under 5' 8" there is a short clip of me wearing it in this video. Its at 25 secs https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4e8076f8-4790-4cc1-9f59-63b80ac37250

If you love static spins I would stick with Chrome. I use a TG and it can really rip up your hands if you do too many static spins with warm hands. Also, I know some (not all) people with sweaty hands have trouble with slipping on the TG finish. I love love my TG pole, but I don't sweat much and live in a colder climate. TG poles can be difficult for beginners to use because they are sooo grippy you have to be right on as far as body placement, it doesn't allow you to maneuver around to find the right spot like chrome.

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.

Welcome back! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

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……

I'm on Google+ but I don't really use it. Most people wont find me though because you have to use your real name. LOL

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
