Make sure it’s a nice large hoop, the bigger the easier when first learning 🙂

I HAtE cardio too! Lol hooping and dancing through whole songs are my only source!

Jadestrada, maybe you wont need grip aid anymore if you use a PC pole? Then you wouldn't really have to worry too much about cleaning. I can understand not wanting to use off the shelf windex, I know it's important to some people. You can always write to Lil Mynx and ask if vinegar is safe for the SV pole or if they can suggest any natural alternatives for the pole.

I'll mention again that I rarely use windex while poling. I only need to clean the pole with it now and then. All I use is a clean dry rag during my pole sessions, it's great! Not saying that's how it will be for everyone, but it's how it is for me. I don't use grip aids on my pole, other than the occasional mighty grip if it's super hot and I start to sweat a ton. Even if I use the mighty grip a dry rag will clean the pole. I have never needed to steam the SV pole.

They commented here once, saying that alcohol will dull the finish.

Have you tried hula hooping for your cardio?

Might grip worked really well with the pole. Lil mynx said windex is best. I lotion every night with Lubriderm and don’t need grip. I dance in the a.m. 🙂

And yes, oil free lotions like I mentioned help me grip without being greasy. Just don’t apply right before.

I would steam it before you dance if you find the room and pole are cold. I would try the windex on it, it’s all I’ve ever had to use. I clean my pole with it once in a while, (for me) just wiping it with a towel cleans to grip. I don’t normally use grip either, but I tried a bunch on the pole when I bought it so I knew how it would react. The pole comes cleaned and shouldn’t really need a break in period. Let us know how it goes!

Oh and do not use alcohol to clean this pole!! Use windex, or the steam method. I’ve found some grip aids make my pole slick. Mighty grip works great with the SV pole!
-
Have you tried making sure you’ve used lotion the night before or a few hours before? Theses poles are clean when you recive them. I can’t use any pole finish if I haven’t moisturized my skin. I use Lubriderm.

Nah, it's not dumb and your not the first person to ask that here! You can do a lot with it, from massage, to stretching and strength. As Danielle, mentioned there are lessons here on how to use it for massage and stretching. Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPGzgRzFv4U&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSFhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Princess Buttercup, it's not about hating your studio, but about keeping your well-being in mind. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Before moving on the any inverted Split Grip moves make sure you're comfortable with your upright Split grip work, that will help too.
