Hi Coleslaw.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Did you watch this video "Tips for Success"? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/did-bf68-46c6-9306-11770ac37250 Also, you can find more information on structoring your pole workouts in all of the "Getting started videos" You'll find these videos at the beginning of each section, they contain important info. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
I know you said you have been poling for a few yrs now but I would still suggest starting with the strength and stretching for the first few weeks and then… try moving on to transitions and beginner pole work on your 3rd week. This would give you something structured to follow. Remember the lessons are set up for you to use them in the order in which they are listed…even the stretches.
One of the most important things you can do is keep a log to track your progress and to track what you would like to do or have done. Once things are written down you can make sure that you have the rest days you need.
I'm sure others will have some great ideas as well.

Have you tried the stretches for the back in the lessons yet? I personally use all of these to improve my back mobility ( I do not have natural back mobility ). The stretches I have are perfect for beginners because I provided detailed instruction on proper placement. There is also a nice stretch towards the end of the side splits routine https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e23973c-e724-4d0a-9b2e-79650ac37250 that is great for the bac and hip flextors. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

If your just getting into stretching then only work on these a max of 2 times a week (if your doing them on the same day). If you do them separately then do each routine once a week, to start.
If you have been working on flexibility for a while, feel free to work on the routines every other day.
If you find your sore or if your loosing flexibility then give yourself more time in between (also be sure your fully warm and not over stretching).
The end pose your talking about is that the pull though? If so its advanced so if its not comfortable yet skip it. The most important thing is to listen to your body. More is not always best when it comes to working out or increasing flexibility. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
There is not average time frame every body is different so as long as your seeing progress then your doing great! xoxo Keep us posted!

I would like to see a "No Disclaimers" challenge … a month of posting any/all videos without the usual disclaimers "Well, it's really not good, cuz I was tired/sick, and I'd already been practicing for X hours, after not practicing for days/weeks, and my leg/back/arm/etc was sore …"
C'MON, ladies! if you can't say something nice about yourself, say nothing at all!!!

You don't have to use a pole…feel free to chair, hoop, use silks or even just dance around for this one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Descalzada…I like your idea! Maybe we could do a challenge where you can choose whatever song…but you have to write 3 things you LIKE about your video/self in the description!

You should not do any ab work lying on your back after the first trimester also ab work should be avoided if you have abdominal separation.
After the first trimester I avoided climbs, inverts and learning new moves. I did not have problems with relaxin (hormons) causing my body to be come too loosey goosey so I was still able to perform spins throughout my pregnancy, but modified them to lessen abdominal stress. Spins can be a problem for some who does have relaxin issues. Women who lift weights/strength train or have been pole dancing for a good while tend to not have relaxin issues, because their strength can help compensate for the "looser" joints. Stick with working on dance and self expression…..always talk with your Dr or midwife about the exercise you choose to do.

Hi guys! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I have about 350 lessons…..Here is a few free samples of the lessons
Pole sit https://www.studioveena.com/user_registrations/example_view/18f0621c-b91f-11df-856f-001b214581be
Butterfly https://www.studioveena.com/user_registrations/example_view/4cd0054b-9630-42dd-9748-057f0ac37250
and here is a look at the one of the dance routines: Beginner- This only shows the dance not the full instructions. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/0fb1598c-b90a-11df-856f-001b214581be
All lessons are in order so all you have to do is start from the beginning, no guessing what move should come next. The stretching and conditioning are set up that way as well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I have both and I prefer my 45mm If you have access to both its great to work on all kinds but if you can only have one option I say go with the 45mm. I feel the smaller diameter is better for the hands, wrist, forearms…easier on the joints. Smaller comps tend to use 50s but the larger ones are leaning towards smaller 45mm poles. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
