I became a personal trainer because I wanted to gain weight! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif Everyone has some great advice. I tend to loose weight quickly once I start doing cardio so I also have to watch that I eat enough! I also rely on the smoothy and protein or energy bars. I choose ones that are high in protein and calories for after my workouts. If you find your gaining weight then you want to fine bars and shakes that have less calories. I found If I dance a lot drinking power aid helps keep me from feel sick after cardio.
Hey Hooked….I have a killer pole workout routine coming soon. We'll get those legs and abs in shape!

Pretty sure its a normal thing KaeliColette. The same feeling happens to me on days where I have done a lot of walking, like at a zoo or museum. My muscles don't hurt but I just ache all over (like growing pains) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Yes it will get better https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Also something to remember…you'll be most sensitive to "pole pain" around your menstrual cycle.

Don't feel down https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifI have had to start over so many times its not funny. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I think almost all of us have points when we just get going on something and we have to stop for one reason or another. If your shoulder is finally better say "today is the day" and go for it. The first day back on the pole is usually frustrating but it does get better! Just avoid spins if your shoulder has been an issue. Also, I use to get down on myself for feeling down!! But now when I have my "off" days or weeks I just let it happen and know its ok, and we can't beat ourselves up over our feeling. Everyone gets down sometimes, you have friend here though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Ahhh yes "noodle arm". lol If doing pole work on the non-dominant side just isn't gonna happen then its time to do strength work off the pole. Hit the weights, use free weights as opposed to machines.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

What are you doing besides cardio? If your taking the lessons there are a bunch of lower body exercises listed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifI train my lower body once a week if that, because I focus so much on extending the leg lines and the dance aspect of pole, my legs get a good workout.

Chimponaut…if it was a new injury then Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, would be needed for 48-72 hs. But it sounds like this has been an on going issue. For myself, if something was chronic and on going like my bicep issue. I found this worked for ME..
Rest..as soon as the injury begin acting up I would rest for at least a few days, still using the arm but not doing anything I knew would aggravate it.
After rest…Heat for 10-20 mins and then follow with stretches. I did this at least once a day for a while. Try using the stretching lessons for the forearms.
Once I was feeling better, I started with conditioning exercises using isometric and eccentric movements. You could try using the exercises for forearms in the lessons here. I added massage when I started the conditioning. You don't need to massage the tendon, but rather along the triceps and forearm muscles. Don't forget to stretch after your exercises too!
Once your back on the pole always stretch the forearms after every pole session and even throughout your session if you can.
Most important…listen to your body, if your not improving then something isn't working and needs to be adjusted.

Ollie, I agree. I personally think he might be training too much for a child. But, then again, we push our kids physical limits with other sports as well, which I also don't feel is healthy. If he is enjoying it that's great, but I think its the parents responsibility to make sure their child grows up healthy. He may truly love to train all day long but that doesn't mean the should let him. But then again….. We also don't know the story and maybe he has plenty of playtime and a very happy life.

@ Pythia…I don't have the new style poles with the xjoint. I was talking about the old style poles. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

@ Chimponaut, have you tried using heat instead of ice? This has worked very well for me with my own injuries. I had some bad ligament injury to my foot (when I broke it) and using heat, massage and conditioning exercises for my foot has done wonders! I also had a bicep injury over a yr ago and was getting no where, until I stopped icing and went to eccentric strength training, heat and massage. I think sometimes we over ice and there for slow down the healing process. When decided how to handle my recent foot injury I had come across a few studies where heat turned out to be more beneficial than the traditional ice, ice and more ice method. Ice is very important immediately following an injury for 48-72 hrs but after that I go for heat. If I find the article I'll post it. If your taking the lessons I also have 6 exercises that are great for conditioning the wrist, forearms and elbows. Starting with this one https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/72a0fb04-b88f-11df-856f-001b214581be
