My nails grow fast, so sometimes they are medium length or long, but usually I try to keep them short if I’m poling a lot. I’ve ripped my skin pretty good a few time with long nails. Usually along the thighs as others mentioned. π

What Kasanya suggested! Negatives are great for building strength, just do them slooooow, as she said.
Also things to add, try working on the Scissor climb and the lessons suggested below the scissor climb lesson to help you build strength. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/18f06262-b91f-11df-856f-001b214581be
For off pole training try some of the back and bicep exercises in this video https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52f90381-4458-4123-99e5-41150a9aa0eb

Babies love to be held, and of course they NEED this snuggle time, however learning to entertain themselves, I think it’s an important part of development!! You may have to deal with crying for a while until he understands you can’t hold him all the time, the older they get the harder this habit can be to break. When my kids went through a clingy phase, I used words, not baby talk, and explained that it’s time to play or mommy has to do some work. I would put my kids in a safe place, (but never their bed, because I saved the crib for sleeping only) so a play area that is inclosed worked for me, or walker. You will have an angry baby, the first few times but they learn fast if you are consistent. Try to keep things on a schedule and it will help him understand what to expect. To this day all of my kids respect my workout and pole time. When my youngest was little I would have him in the room with me (but in a play seat so he was safe) while I poled or worked out, so I could keep an eye on him. Kids need to see mommy’s taking time for themselves too. π

Are you asking about my shorts in the photo?

lol, I can see why that would become a source of confusion if you thought everyone used a clock method. π I’m glad you like my style of teaching, my goad is always to keep it simple!

The only time I could think it would matter would be when performing with someone else, then you would want to use a count, this would keep you in time. The number of steps it takes to get around a pole will vary, because of leg length, a personals natural stride and the style of walk that is being done. Looking at it as a clock seems complex to me, but it might help someone who needs to know EXACLY where to put their feet.
The distance from the pole, for static spins, has more to do with how close the hips are then how many steps it takes to get around. Hips distance away from the pole and timing of the push and swing leg will give the best static spins. I wouldn’t over think the number of steps needed unless you were performing with someone or you were creating a routine and wanted to insure you wound up in a particular place before you spin.

I do a mix of what Lina and Grayeyes do. I like to go with how I feel that week and decide what I’ll focus on, splitting up my days accordingly so strength work and pole work are spread out, to reduce overuse issues. Some weeks I do mostly hooping, and lifting weights at the gym, other times I only pole dance during the week.
If you have been exercising for a while you’re body can handle more training then if you are just starting out so keep that in mind too. I generally do some kind of workout 4-6 days a week depending on how busy life gets!! π

I feel your pain cold stretchers. I use to have a nice toasty fireplace to stretch by, but not anymore and I miss it soooo much! The rooms in our place are very large so warming them up enough to hold heat isn’t reasonable, I just keep my stretching to about 30 mins tops and wear layers.
I do find that when I do mobility training for my back I don’t have issues cooling off because its a bit more of an active session for me, so now I try to combine stretching my legs and back all in one and that works well. The down side is I can’t stretch as often because it’s not split up.
PDR and Lina have some good ideas, I like them!
I can’t wait for SUMMER!!
