Runemist…I yes it came very easily to me, (although at the time I had know idea my progress was fast) but I had the advantage of my strength training background. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif I have no dance or gymnastics background, just my own messing around as a child moves. My sister helped me learn a cartwheel and I figured out a few other various gymnastics moves….never archived a back flip though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I have always had a weird understanding of how my body moves I guess.
Polegirlsonia….your vids were great! I remember them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
drkfaery….you HAVE improved, your flow is better now and all of the moves you do are stronger. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I was asked to speak at the convention https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif ….. but turned it down https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif With the kids and no one to watch them I just don’t see it working out. Chris has already miss a lot of work due to planned and unexpected trips. I’m hoping that I’ll get to go, but I’m sure it will be last minute. If only my mom would take up my constant offers to fly her out here to be with her grandkids!!!! I miss out on everything. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif Oh well my kids wont be little forever I guess……..

I personally can’t make that call for you but…….( I can’t remember how long ago this started either ) If its not painful, then go at it any of the exercise slowly, you don’t want to be doing any of the exercises everyday anyway to start with. Every other day is best and if you have pain when performing any of them then stop. If you can’t get at least 8-10 reps then you need less resistance, if your going beyond 12-15 max then you need more resistance. I don’t like going over 15 reps because it can lead to overuse…unless you were directed by your dr to do so. Stay away from spins for now, everyone underestimates how hard spins are on your shoulders! Listen to your body!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Fleur, I’m guessing yours are the same exercises I’m planing on doing. I haven’t your yet tho. I haven’t done mine yet either, but I would think they are the same basic exercises. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

I have been working out…mostly with free weights (until I found pole) for almost 10 yrs now and I’ve been an ACE certified personal trainer for about 9 years. I can tell you first hand POLE IS THE BEST WORK OUT EVER!!! After my first 3 babies I went back to strength training and saw good results, got back into my old clothes with in about a year with the 3rd. ( I hadn’t discovered pole dance yet!)…BUT with my 4th baby I had been poling before I got pregnant so after a week or 2 of just strength training I went back to pole dancing and only pole dancing. I was back in my old clothes with in a few months!!! I was shocked https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
Now, the body does become accustom to whatever form of exercise we are doing so its always good to change it up! Add in yoga, go off pole and train with weights for a week or 2, ect….
My 2 suggestion for you if your wanting to pole only for a bit….Do moves on BOTH sides! Add some push ups and inverted shoulder presses to your pole routine. For new dancers, the chest, shoulders and triceps are not always utilized as much as the back and biceps and you don’t want to have an imbalance.
Here is a vid of my 3 weeks after baby…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5UhIJnX5Rw
now check it out this is 10 weeks later, this is after pole dancing as my only form of exercise!!!
10 weeks after baby……http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNAUO1knwEQ -

You can fine injury prevention exercises and stretches here! Right now I have a bunch up in the online lessons specifically for your forearms, the shoulders will be next. I wanted to have the shoulder ones posted already but I haven’t been feeling well lately. How ever…..I already have some full body strength work in the lessons every pole dancers should be doing, because having the proper strength and body positioning is super important. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh I have my very first dance I ever recorded….I have never posted it anywhere… I had only been poling for 2 or 3 weeks and its dark ( cuz I thought I would YT it and wanted to remain anonymous) LOL not so worried about anonymous any more! If I can find it I’ll try to post it tomorrow. hehe

I have tried using the scrunched (knee pit) hook for the scorpio but I never feel secure. I also prefer the look of the more extended pole along the ankle to thigh on me….I have long thin legs and I think the knee pit variation looks better on someone who is as stick like as me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Some find the ankle to thigh feels less stable for them. I really think you should go with which ever way you feel the most secure. I also wrap my foot sometimes…I don’t teach it that way but its just something that came naturally to me and it adds a bit of security for me, but again I have thin legs and that would make a difference too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I am a wedgie picker….doesn’t matter what kind of bottoms I wear I always have a wedgie!! Even if its not that bad, I still must pick the WEDGIE:geek: But only when I’m dancing, I’m not a public picker. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I have to have the RIGHT kind of music for my mood or its just not gonna happen.
After my warm up, I always give my pole a quick check.
I can’t think of anything else right now….. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Haha thats great! That song is where I got idea for the saying I use on some of my signatures and one of the SV shirts…"there’s no business like Pole business" LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I have only had one fall…..I was too confident with my caterpillar once when I had just begun poling and was at the top of my pole and fell flat on my back! I was ok but surprised. Once I had my permanent pole fall down with me at the top too….I was up right thankfully so I was able to jump off, I even managed to catch the pole!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
I had my first pole related boo boo last week…..I DIDN’T WARM UP!!!! Hurt my good arm….I’m fine now. It was my fault, but I was angry and just kinda hoped on the pole…bad idea. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif
My safety tips…..
ALWAYS WARM UP
ALWAYS USE A MAT OR SPOTTER FOR NEW MOVES
KNOW YOUR LIMITS
DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL AND POLE
CHECK YOUR POLE BEFORE EACH USE….EVEN THE PERMANENT ONES.
DON’T OVER DO THE SPLIT GRIPS AND TWISTED GRIPS!!!!!!!If you want some exercises to help with forearm troubles check out the new line up of strength and stretching for the forearms.

Recap here on this thread please……

georgiamarie you shouldn’t be rolling on your collar bone, for any of the Shoulder moves. I have a lesson for the shoulder dismount and other shoulder mount variations here it is for ya if your taking them http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2745
Make sure your far enough on to your trap (way up by the neck) and also be sure to tuck as you release down into the SM position for the dismount. If your not tucked you’ll pass over the bone and it hurts! Good luck. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Welcome, and congrats! On a safety note…. you should NOT START learning pole dance when your pregnant, even more so if you new to exercising. Now if you have been poling for a good while then listen to your body and enjoy yourself. Here are some guidelines I use when I was pregnant with my 4th.
If your new to pole dance then backing off it a good idea. You can still do some floorwork and fun transitions and you can still have fun with it, just dance! Here is a good example of dancing with your pole without all the tricks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs3i-ryO1qM
Now if your not a beginner and your very comfy in your abilities, here are my guide lines, I used for my pregnancy.
With ANY exercise while preggers, be sure you don’t over heat, and don’t raise your heart level too high. Drink lots of water. Listen to your body.
1st Trimester…continue with moves you know but don’t work on new ones. Stick with what you have down and work on perfecting it.
2nd Trimester…No more inverts or climbs. Spins are fine if your joints don’t mind. if your a seasoned dancer it shouldn’t be a problem, but everyone is different.
3rd Trimester…This is a good time to work on dancing with soft hands, pointed toes (watch out for leg cramps tho) and hip rolls and enjoying your new sexy body. Most spins will be out..I was able to adjust mine, I found that by keeping my thighs pointing down, and not bringing them up to my waist for spins like the chair I could still do them and they were not a stain on my Abs. Here is an example of that…you can see I don’t do many spins at all and I keep my knees low.

With ANY exercise you have to talk with your DR first and make sure your fit to exercise while pregnant. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif LOL
